This paper describes the mathematical and computer modelling of a photoelastic sensor for slip detection. The main components of the sensor are a photoelastic transducer and a solid state camera. When under stress, the photoelastic transducer generates optical fringe patterns which are captured digitally by the camera. The model developed encompasses the mechanical and optical behaviours of the photoelastic transducer and the switching characteristics of the camera pixels. The model has been employed to study the effects of different design parameters on the sensor's slip resolution.

With the increasing of the aging of population all over the world, and With the inconvenience coming from diseases and damage, there will be more and more people using the wheelchair as a tool for transport. When it cant be short of the wheelchair in the daily life, the addition of the function will bring the elevation of the quality of life for the unfortunate. Staring with this purpose, the research designs a pickup with planetary bevel gear for the wheelchair. After determining the basic function of the wheelchair aids, the study determines the design parameters by using the knowledge of parametric design and completes the model for the system with Pro/E, on the other hand, it completes key components optimization analysis which is based on genetic algorithm optimization.

We have performed detailed dynamic switching measurements for 3kV 4H-SiC Charge-Balanced (CB) junction barrier Schottky (JBS) diodes [1,2] and studied their dependence on device design parameters. We have done forward and reverse recovery characterizations and found unusual switching characteristics in these CB-JBS diodes. These switching characteristics are explained based on the design and layout of the devices.

Lithium niobate, LiNbO 3 , is an important technological material with good electro-optic, acousto-optic, elasto-optic, piezoelectric and nonlinear properties. Computer modelling provides a useful means of determining the properties of the material, including its defect chemistry, and the effect of doping on the structure. In this work, double-doped LiNbO 3 was studied, and the energetics of the solid-state reactions leading to incorporation of the dopants was calculated. The following combinations of dopants were studied: Fe and Cu; Ce and Cu; Ce and Mn; Fe and Rh; and Ru and Fe. For most of these combinations, the co-doping process decreases the energy required for incorporation of the dopants, and the final defect configurations are consistent with experimental results, where available.

A tactile sensor for slip detection is necessary for humanlike grasping in robot hand. This paper reports a capacitive tactile slip sensor that can detect slip on the surface of the sensor structure. The newly developed capacitive slip sensor uses acrlyro-nitrile butadien rubber (NBR) as substrate. The presented sensor device in this paper has fingerprint -like structures that are similar with the role of the human’s fingerprint. Movement of the structure that attached on surface of substrate arise capacitance changes, and these are used to detect slip. We carried out slip experiment by prototype of capacitive slip sensor and slip was successfully detected.

The new thermo-ecological performance optimization of absorption is investigated by taking the ecological coefficient of performance ECOP as an objective function. ECOP has been expressed in terms of the temperatures of the working fluid in the main components of the system. The maximum of ECOP and the corresponding optimal temperatures of the working fluid and other optimal performance design parameters such as coefficient of performance, specific cooling load of absorption refrigerators, specific heating load of absorption heat pumps, specific entropy generation rate and the distributions of the heat exchanger areas have been derived analytically. The obtained results may provide a general theoretical tool for the ecological design of absorption refrigerators and heat pumps.

The paper presents the main components and an overview of the educational subject „Computing in the education system” in England. It is considered as a classification of the educational key stages by students ages in England. All Computing national programmes, which have to be followed from the schools when they create their own curriculums, have been presented in different age groups. In addition, the paper summarises the changes in the educational system for „Informational Technologies” and „Computer modelling” in primary school in Bulgaria. It includes the key competences for student’s development according to competences approach framework from the Bulgarian Ministry of Education.

The article proposes to study the dynamics of the scraper conveyor (SC), which is one of the main components of the mechanized complex of the coal face, to use a universal computer model in which the multi-mass system of the traction body (TB) with concentrated parameters is replaced by a script in the form of a MATLAB function, the code for modeling the system of equations of the TB in which is developed using the Matlab pro-gramming language. With the help of Simulink blocks, models of electric motors, transmissions, drive sprockets, as well as the elementary masses of TB are created. This solution made it possible to change the number of elementary masses in a wide range, and to ensure the study of dynamic processes in the electromechanical system of the SC with a predetermined accuracy. The most common type of multi-motor conveyor is considered: two-drive, with head and end drives connected through transmissions and sprockets by an infinite chain with scrapers. The simulation of the direct start modes at full load and empty load was carried out. The results showed that the proposed model provided 2 times faster simulation of the developed model compared to the model of a conveyor made up of the same number of individual elementary masses, while the accuracy of the simulation in terms of the speed of movement of the chain is 5% in the interval with the real conveyor. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop an effective method of controlling the head and tail drives of the scraper conveyor in order to equal their load. The results of the simulation can be used to predict the fatigue life and determine the optimal pretensioning force at an early design stage, when only a few design parameters are known.
