The article studies the problems, mathematical models and algorithms that allow reducing the probability of emergency situations during welding in robotic complexes. Since the application of methods of the calculus of variations is difficult, the task is reduced to the development and verification of the implementation of a detailed comprehensive plan of measures to remove the emergency situation, leading to a shutdown of the technological process. A comprehensive plan of measures based on the causal relationship between the parameters of the process and the study of the experience of the dispatching personnel has been developed. The plan is presented in the form of an oriented graph in which the vertices are the activities of the plan, and the arcs determine their relationship and sequence of implementation. The conditions affecting the technological process and the implementation of the plan are presented in the form of a production model. To verify the implementation of the plan in accordance with the principles and conditions for their implementation, a logical function was developed and a circuit of a discrete device constructed according to this function was drawn up. By specifying the values of the function arguments, the possibility of implementing the plan can be checked at any time. In the article the scheme of introducing educational mathematics in the structure of the existing complex of technical controls of the robotized welding complex is presented. The algorithms of the solution at various time intervals are analyzed with the help of the information-logic scheme. The introduction of the developed models and algorithms in industrial enterprises using robotic welding systems allows to reduce the damage from emergency situations and shutdown of the technological process.

This paper covers a new type of batteries that allows the following possibilities for high-temperature applications, namely: (a) safety and full operational capability at temperatures up to 275 °C (527 °F); (b) possibility of battery recharging at high temperatures; (c) full operational capability under severe industrial conditions (vibration, shock); (d) environmental safety under transportation, storage, use and disposal; (e) safety under harsh conditions including emergency situations as a fire (this has been demonstrated with discharge tests of battery prototypes placed in a diesel fuel fire). Two technological generations of the battery prototypes have been designed, fabricated and tested over an operating temperature range of 4 °C (39 °F) to 275 °C (527 °F). The battery prototypes have been also tested under super-harsh conditions. The variety of form-factors is available for this type of batteries, including for their application in MWD/LWD tools and long-term power supply of monitoring systems in producing wells. Efforts are underway to develop the third generation of the batteries of sub-micron size (micro-batteries for microelements including high-temperature ones).

The Impact

Purpose Since the 1960s, the impact of mega sporting events on the built environment has become increasingly important, and the relationship between hosting cities and events increasingly complex and controversial. The outcomes of these mega-events, however, are very discouraging, especially in terms of the state of sports venues and event sites. In many cases, Olympic parks and event sites stand abandoned once the event is over, and sports facilities are often either closed or underutilized. The purpose of this paper is to identify replicable best practices and successful examples used in mega-events to transform events sites and venues into livable public open spaces (POS), enjoyed by the local communities. Design/methodology/approach Three cities were selected for this investigation: London, Sochi and Rio de Janeiro. London hosted the 2012 Summer Olympics, and this study focused particularly on its Olympic park, Queen Elizabeth Park. Sochi hosted the 2014 Winter Olympics but also some of the matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Rio de Janeiro hosted the 2016 Summer Olympics and also a part of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Each case was investigated according to a methodology composed of interviews with experts, site visits, and analysis of the bidding book and post-event reports to check the consistency between promises and legacies. Findings The research identified a framework of six major elements that determine, or contrast, the long-term use of events sites and sport facilities, and highlighted some main attributes to consider in order to transform sporting event sites into livable and enjoyable open spaces. It is expected that this framework can be used as a guidance to deliver sustainable events and long-term legacies and to define a strategy for optimization of planning mega sport events. Practical implications Mega events provide near-unique, fast track opportunities for urban transformation. This research can be used as guidance for the overall mega sporting events stakeholders, such as the IOC, FIFA, and local organizing committees, to identify replicable best practices and successful examples in the leverage of mega events to transform events sites and venues into livable POS. Originality/value Why is it so difficult to transform event sites and sport venues into livable areas of cities? What are the recurrent mistakes, issues, and challenges that hosting cities have to face? This research is unique as it aims at answering these questions by defining a framework of relevant factors for hosting cities to help them in the planning of mega sporting events. The research also highlighted some recurrent mistakes, such as the exorbitant costs of a mega event, the inability to keep the initial budget unchanged and the difficulty to adjust plans to local needs.
