Microprocessor Technology

Over the past few years, thanks to the success of microprocessor technology, there has been a significant leap in the development and application of automated control systems. In such systems, information obtained from a set of sensors installed on the control object and giving complete information about it is used to form the control action. Improving the accuracy of measurement of their characteristics becomes an urgent task. This paper is considered to study of the processes of degradation of microelectromechanical structures of integral measuring tensometric elements, for example, pressure sensors, expressed in the obtaining of the output characteristics of the sensor for the regulations set forth in the technical specifications. The technique allowing to measure the parameters of the output signal of the strain cell with the help of a special installation is developed. The results of the experiments determined that when using material with a small modulus of elasticity can be used for the planting element, any substrate material of test module. The developed technique can be used in the production and design of the strain gauge, and the sensor as a whole.

The history of animal-borne instrumentation is reviewed from the first basic depth gauge invented in the late 1800s, to the complex animal-borne imagery and archival systems of the present day. A major breakthrough occurred in 1964 when the first time-depth recorder was deployed on a Weddell Seal in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. The next phase in the study of animals at sea was the use of microprocessors as archival recorders in the mid-1980s. These also were first attached to Weddell seals in McMurdo Sound. Microprocessor technology made possible the next major step of attaching a video camera housed in a submersible case (Crittercam) to a loggerhead turtle. Since the 1990s the field of “Biologging” has flourished, with new additions of satellite and GPS tracking, and resulted in three major international symposiums in the past four years (2003-2007).

The development of humanity is impossible without means of signaling. Signaling in any sphere of human activity has always been a means of ensuring the safety of his life. One of these areas was railway transport, the development of which and, accordingly, signalling facilities began in the early 19th century.With the progress of technological progress in Russia, signaling tools have also evolved, which have gone from the simplest sound and optical signals to modern ones using satellite technologies. Naturally, this path in the technical evolution of mankind is of interest to scientists and just curious people, since knowledge of the stages of the origin and development of signaling allows contemporaries to improve it and at the same time not forget the basics of this area.As a result of this process, the signaling system on railway transport, its means have undergone serious changes. Primitive ways of giving commands - optical (disk, flag) and sound (whistle) to the participants of the movement were pushed by more modern means of signaling, which already involve microprocessor technology and satellite technologies.An example of modern signaling means is the automatic locomotive signaling of a single row of continuous type (ALS-EN). The signal of this type of signaling is more informative: it contains information about the number of free block sections ahead of the train, as well as about the permissible speed of its movement.

Microprocessor Technology

Advanced technical developments have increased the efficiency of devices in capturing trace amounts of energy from the environment (such as from human movements) and transforming them into electrical energy (e.g., to instantly charge mobile devices). In addition, advancements in microprocessor technology have increased power efficiency, effectively reducing power consumption requirements. In combination, these developments have sparked interest in the engineering community to develop more and more applications that utilize energy harvesting for power. The approach here described aims to designing and manufacturing an innovative easy-to-use and general-purpose device for energy harvesting in general purpose shoes. The novelty of this device is the integration of polymer and ceramic piezomaterials accomplished by injection molding. In this spirit, this paper examines different devices that can be built into a shoe, (where excess energy is readily harvested) and used for generating electrical power while walking. A Main purpose is the development of an indoor localization system embedded in shoes that periodically broadcasts a digital RFID as the bearer walks. Results are encouraging and real life test are conducted on the first series of prototypes.

Advances in microprocessor technology have enabled the application of modern control techniques and failure detection diagnostics to various processes for improved system performance. This paper presents experimental results for an on-board microprocessor-based failure detection package designed to assist in the diagnosis of heat pump failures. A model-free limit and trend checking scheme, and a model-based innovations detection formulation operate in parallel to detect anomalous behavior. This dual approach permits the study of tradeoffs between failure detection performance and method complexity. A series of typical anomalies are experimentally simulated in a heat pump, and results are presented to demonstrate the performance of each detection strategy.

The article presents the relevance of the topic associated with the introduction of technical diagnostics tools and the service system of electronic equipment for AC electric locomotives. Results of operating a microprocessor control system and diagnostics of AC electric locomotives on the Eastern operational area are presented in the form of failure statistics of elements of microprocessor technology. Structure of the technological process of servicing AC electric locomotives on the railways of the Eastern operational area is shown.

Functional scheme of the system for servicing electronic equipment for AC electric locomotives has been developed. Bench and technological equipment of the service area for the maintenance of electronic equipment is shown. The article describes development of an automated workplace (AWP) for optimization and repair of a microprocessor control system (MCS) for an electric locomotive, which was not previously in the locomotive sector.

Statistics of MCS failures and malfunctions of their cells on AC electric locomotives at the Eastern operational area for the period from 2016 to 2018 (LMP of station Tayshet and Karymskaya) shows that the number of failures of MCS decreased by 30 % and the number of malfunctioning MCS cells, received for repair, decreased by 45 %. 2. Automated workplaces created in the JSC “DTsV of the Krasnoyarskaya Railway” for optimizing and repairing the local government of AC electric locomotive made it possible to optimize repairs and create an automated process for the maintenance and repair of electronic equipment for electric locomotives. 3. Developed by specialists of the JSC “DTsV of the Krasnoyarskaya Railway” together with the employees of the LLC “Lokotech-Service” technological model of full service maintenance and repair of electronic equipment for AC electric locomotives on the railways of the Eastern operational area was implemented and well proved itself in the work of the LMP.
