Проблема повышения точности контроля в процессе производства различных печатных изделий не теряет своей актуальности в связи с совершенствованием как технологий изготовления самих изделий, так контрольно-измерительной техники и методов контроля. Поскольку нанесение красочного изображения, выполняющего информационную функцию, на печатное изделие способами печатания осуществляется на достаточно высокой скорости, то широко используемый метод визуального контроля малоэффективен, применим выборочно, не позволяет обеспечить требуемую точность. Следствием этого является брак или ухудшение качества напечатанных изображений на печатных изделиях. Показано, что действующие методы контроля, регламентированные стандартами, не отвечают требованиям для выпуска конкурентоспособной на современном рынке продукции В работе проанализированы стандартные и запатентованные методы контроля показателей качества, нанесенного на печатное изделие изображения способами печатания. Отмечены направления их модернизации и разработки новых объективных методов контроля, что возможно осуществлять только за счет использования современных систем с применением программых продуктов, разработанных под конкретный объект контроля, способствующих интеграции процессов измерения и анализа информации для стабилизации технологического процесса печати. Предложен метод контролякрасковосприятия, который основан на методах математического и гармонического анализа. Ввиду отсутствия стандарта, разработан алгоритм контроля показателя укрывистость. Оценка и контроль укрывистости в данном алгоритме базируется на методах математической статистики. Определение и контроль показателей красковосприятия, укрывистость осуществляется с помощью разработанных программ для ЭВМ, что позволяет не только существенно сократить время контроля, но и повысить его точность. Providing that both current processing techniques and supervisory instruments is updating, the problem of the accuracy quality parameters continues to be relevant for printing industry. Due to high-speed processes of the printed items manufacturing the current visual-based monitoring techniques can be thought of as low informative, selective applied resulted in accuracy decreasing at lot inspections. The most current monitoring methods regulated by standards are low-efficient at the moment. Both standard and patented quality monitoring techniques for printed images monitoring were analyzed. The listed techniques upgrading trends and points of the novel objective ones developing based on specified software hardware integration of measurement and information analysis procedures aimed at the operational process stabilization are noted. The ink trapping monitoring technique based on both mathematical and Fourier analysis is proposed. As long as the standard procedure is deficient, the algorithm of covering power control based used mathematical statistics approaches was developed. The monitoring is carried out by the developed software.

Michel Butor, born in 1926, one of the leaders of the French New Novel movement, has written only four novels between 1954 and 1960. The most famous of them is La Modification (Second thoughts), published in 1957. The author of the paper analyzes two other Butor’s novels: L’Emploi du temps (Passing time) – 1956, and Degrés (Degrees) – 1960. The theme of absence is crucial in both of them. In the former, the novel, presented as the diary of Jacques Revel, a young Frenchman spending a year in Bleston (a fictitious English city vaguely similar to Manchester), describes the narrator’s struggle to survive in a double – spatial and temporal – labyrinth. The first of them, formed by Bleston’s streets, squares and parks, is symbolized by the City plan. During his one year sojourn in the city, using its plan, Revel learns patiently how to move in its different districts, and in its strange labyrinth – strange because devoid any centre – that at the end stops annoying him. The other, the temporal one, symbolized by the diary itself, the labyrinth of the human memory, discovered by the narrator rather lately, somewhere in the middle of the year passed in Bleston, becomes, by contrast, more and more dense and complex, which is reflected by an increasinly complex narration used to describe the past. However, at the moment Revel is leaving the city, he is still unable to recall and to describe the events of the 29th of February 1952. This gap, this absence, symbolizes his defeat as the narrator, and, in the same time, the human memory’s limits. In Degrees temporal and spatial structures are also very important. This time round, however, the problems of the narration itself, become predominant. Considered from this point of view, the novel announces Gerard Genette’s work Narrative Discourse and his theoretical discussion of two narratological categories: narrative voice and narrative mode. Having transgressed his narrative competences, Pierre Vernier, the narrator of the first and the second parts of the novel, who, taking as a starting point, a complete account of one hour at school, tries to describe the whole world and various aspects of the human civilization for the benefit of his nephew, Pierre Eller, must fail and disappear, as the narrator, from the third part, which is narrated by another narrator, less audacious and more credible.

The ballasted track superstructure is characterized by a relative quick deterioration of track geometry due to ballast settlements and the accumulation of sleeper voids. The track zones with the sleeper voids differ from the geometrical irregularities with increased dynamic loading, high vibration, and unfavorable ballast-bed and sleeper contact conditions. This causes the accelerated growth of the inhomogeneous settlements, resulting in maintenance-expensive local instabilities that influence transportation reliability and availability. The recent identification and evaluation of the sleeper support conditions using track-side and on-board monitoring methods can help planning prevention activities to avoid or delay the development of local instabilities such as ballast breakdown, white spots, subgrade defects, etc. The paper presents theoretical and experimental studies that are directed at the development of the methods for sleeper support identification. The distinctive features of the dynamic behavior in the void zone compared to the equivalent geometrical irregularity are identified by numeric simulation using a three-beam dynamic model, taking into account superstructure and rolling stock dynamic interaction. The spectral features in time domain in scalograms and scattergrams are analyzed. Additionally, the theoretical research enabled to determine the similarities and differences of the dynamic interaction from the viewpoint of track-side and on-board measurements. The method of experimental investigation is presented by multipoint track-side measurements of rail-dynamic displacements using high-speed video records and digital imaging correlation (DIC) methods. The method is used to collect the statistical information from different-extent voided zones and the corresponding reference zones without voids. The applied machine learning methods enable the exact recent void identification using the wavelet scattering feature extraction from track-side measurements. A case study of the method application for an on-board measurement shows the moderate results of the recent void identification as well as the potential ways of its improvement.

Energy-efficient processing of TiB compound with nanowhiskers by micropyretic synthesis is investigated in this paper. Micropyretic synthesis not only offers shorter processing time but also excludes the requirement for high-temperature sintering and it is considered as the one of the novel energy-saving processing techniques. Experimental study and numerical simulation are both carried out to investigate the correlation of the processing parameters on the microstructures of the micropyretically synthesized products. The diffusion-controlled reaction mechanism is proposed in this study. It is noted that nanosize TiB whiskers only occurred when the combustion temperature is lower than the melting point of TiB but higher than the extinguished temperature. The results generated in the numerical calculation can be used as a helpful reference to select the proper route of processing nanosize materials. The Arrhenius-type plot of size and temperature is used to calculate the activation energy of TiB reaction. In addition to verifying the accuracy of the experimental measures, the reaction temperature for producing the micropyretically synthesized products with nanofeatures can be predicted.

Respiratory rate (RR) is a valuable early marker of illness in vulnerable infants, but current monitoring methods are unsuitable for sustained home use. We have demonstrated accurate measurement of RR from brief recordings of pulse oximeter plethysmogram (pleth) trace in full-term neonates in hospital. This study assessed the feasibility of this method in preterm infants during overnight recordings in the home. We collected simultaneous overnight SpO2, pleth and respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) on 24 preterm infants in the home. RR from pleth analysis was compared with RR from RIP bands; pleth quality was assessed by the presence of visible artefact. Median (range) RR from RIP and pleth were not significantly different at 42 (25–65) and 42 (25–64) breaths/min. Median (range) % of epochs rejected due to artefact was 20 (8–75) for pleth and 10 (3–53) for RIP. Our results suggest that home RR monitoring by pulse oximeter pleth signal is accurate and feasible.

The design of mechanisms for use in practical machinery applications is often of a trial-and-error nature based on traditional practice. Much emphasis has been given to the theory of mechanisms in recent years but this has yet to find wide practical application. This paper is a case study of how a basic idea, conceived by University-based inventors and intended to improve a slow method of making a textile pile fabric, became a reality in the form of a completely new type of high-speed textile machine for making an improved textile product, all within a time scale of four years. It also shows how recent University researches are further advancing its potential from both the machinery manufacturing and textile technology aspects. Step-by-step from the early experimental stages, it illustrates how the challenges of developing the novel mechanisms required for this unconventional machine and process were met by combining practical experience of traditional machinery design with theoretical investigations based on the new techniques of mechanism analysis and synthesis.

The new generation of ICT solutions applied to the monitoring, adaptation, simulation and optimisation of factories are key enabling technologies for a new level of manufacturing capability and adaptability in the context of Industry 4.0. Given the advances in sensor technologies, factories, as well as machine tools can now be sensorised, and the vast amount of data generated can be exploited by intelligent information processing techniques such as machine learning. This paper presents an online tool wear classification system built in terms of a monitoring infrastructure, dedicated to perform dry milling on steel while capturing force signals, and a computing architecture, assembled for the assessment of the flank wear based on deep learning. In particular, this approach demonstrates that a big data analytics method for classification applied to large volumes of continuously-acquired force signals generated at high speed during milling responds sufficiently well when used as an indicator of the different stages of tool wear. This research presents the design, development and deployment of the system components and an overall evaluation that involves machining experiments, data collection, training and validation, which, as a whole, has shown an accuracy of 78 % .

Although the technique of using ultrasound has reached maturity by given the extent of the development of sensors, but the use of the various areas still can be explore. Many types of ultrasonic sensors are still at conventional in use especially for measurement equipment in the industry. With the advancement of signal processing techniques, high-speed computing, and the latest techniques in image formation based Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, the usage of ultrasound in concrete NDT testing is very extensive because the technique is very simple and should not damage the concrete structure to be investigated. Many of the parameters need to be tested using ultrasound techniques to concrete can be realized. Starting with the initial process for of concrete mixing until the concrete matured to the age of century old. Various tests are available to test a variety of non-destructive of concrete completely, in which there is no damage to the concrete, through those where the concrete surface is damaged a bit, to partially destructive testing, such as core tests and insertion and pull-off test, which surface to be repaired after the test. Testing parameter features that can be evaluated using non-destructive testing and destructive testing of some rather large and include basic parameters such as density, elastic modulus and strength and surface hardness and surface absorption, and reinforcement location, size and distance from the surface. In some cases it is also possible to check the quality of the workmanship and structural integrity of the ability to detect voids, cracks and delamination. A review of NDT using ultrasound on concrete are presented in this paper to highlight the important aspect to consider when one to consider the application and development of ultrasound testing on concrete by considering ultrasound signal capturing, processing and presenting.

Purpose of the study— to study impact of hemi-vertebrae extirpation technique in mono-segmental reconstructionon the surgical trauma.Material and Methods.34 patients underwent 36 mono-segmental extirpations of hemi-vertebrae followed by aposterior fixation during a single center four years cohort study. Mean age of children at the moment of procedure was 4 years and 3 months (min — 1 year, max — 14 years). The authors studied impact of pathology level, surgical approach, type of bony structures removal technique and age of the patients on the time of procedure and volume of blood loss. Results.Extirpation of thoracic hemi-vertebrae was characterized by a lengthier procedure and greater blood lossin contrast to lumbar hemi-vertebrae. Patients were divided into three groups depending on extirpation technique: 1)  extirpation from two approaches using a high-speed burr; 2) from a single dorsal approach using the same extirpation technique; 3) from dorsal approach using ultrasonic bone scalpel. Surgery time was 208±72 min in the first group, 187±54 min in the second group, and 170±30 min in the third group; blood loss volume was 181±39, 181±53, 132±73 ml respectively in the groups, or 11.5±4.3%, 9.4±2.8% and 9.6±5.2% of total blood volume, respectively.Conclusion.Surgical approach and hemi-vertebrae extirpation technique in children have a varying impact onsurgery time and intraoperative blood loss, and the least values were reported for posterior approach using ultrasonic bone scalpel.

The concentration of microbes and other particulates is frequently enriched in the droplets produced by bursting bubbles. As a bubble rises to the ocean surface, particulates in the bulk liquid can be transported to the sea surface microlayer by attaching to the bubble’s interface. When the bubble eventually ruptures, a fraction of these particulates is often ejected into the surroundings in film droplets with a particulate concentration that is higher than in the liquid from which they formed. The precise mechanisms responsible for this enrichment are unclear, yet such enrichment at the ocean surface influences important exchange processes with the atmosphere. Here we provide evidence that drainage, coupled with scavenging, is responsible for the enrichment. By simultaneously recording the drainage and rupture effects with high-speed and standard photography, we directly measured the particulate concentrations in the thin film of a bubble cap at the moment before it ruptures. We observed that the enrichment factor strongly depends on the film thickness at rupture, and developed a physical model, based on scavenging and drainage, that is consistent with our observations. We have also demonstrated that this model is quantitatively consistent with prior observations of film drop enrichment, indicating its potential for a broader range of applications in the study of the sea surface microlayer and related phenomena.
