A method for determining information packets source in systems using communication protocols that do not allow generating messages longer than 10—15 bytes, is described. The method is based on determining whether a particular received packet belongs to a structured set of fixed size packets associated with the source. To identify the ownership, each information packet contains a hash sequence field formed on data from other packets of the source and the source unique numeric identifier. As a result of analysis of this sequence and sequences of other information packets, the receiver generates a set of packets that form a single source message and determines location of each packet in the message. Using the probability theory and the theory of random processes, numerical characteristics of the probability of occurrence of error in determining the packet generated source are derived. The error probability dependences on the information packet generating algorithm parameters — the hash field length and the power of the analyzed set of information packets — are obtained. Applicability of the method for separating messages from multiple sources is demonstrated, and the dependencies between the hash field length and the number of message sources are formulated.

Two methods for selecting the transfer function of a discrete correction filter are considered. With a simpler method, the control effect is significantly reduced, but the speed error increases. A more complex method of correction filter selection enables the speed error retention, as in the case of minimum damping time of the free process, but with a less significant reduction in the control effect and a small overshoot when working out the jump. An example of digital tracking system calculating is given. Numerical simulation of the calculated CSR in the MatLab system is performed for linearly increasing and stepwise reference signals. The simulation data are reported to coincide with the calculated results.

Pressure sensors are widely used in aircraft to measure the static and full pressure of the oncoming air flow as a primary information in on-board air signal systems. In the data system, the measurement results are recalculation automatically to determine the flight altitude, speed, true air speed, Mach number, and vertical speed, according to well-known algorithms. A sensor of the full and static pressure with elastic membrane sensing element is presented. The membrane deformation is measured by an optical system, consisting of radiation source and position-sensitive photodetector based on the photo-detector line, installed opposite each other, with a curtain attached to the membrane center and placed between them. The membrane deformation displaces the optical spots formed on the photodetector surface by the passed through slits in the curtain. A novelty of the proposed sensor consists in the use of splitting of the initial information achieved by application of shutter with n slits forming n light spots on the photodetector, and these spots are displaced depending on the change in the measured pressure. Thanks to this innovation, it is possible to obtain n independent values of the measured pressure for one cycle of sensor line polling and to increase the measurement accuracy by averaging the results. The absence of additional elements on the curtains (emitters and light detector) improves the dynamic characteristics of the sensor. The proposed solution made it possible to minimize the influence of external disturbing factors (in particular, the aircraft vibrations) and to increase the accuracy and speed of the pressure sensor. Experiments carried out using a laboratory facility have confirmed the high level of the pressure sensor metrological performance.

Disc and ring resonators are used as sensitive elements in angular velocity sensors. The sensitivity, or minimum detectable angular velocity is determined by the quality factor of the resonator. An approach is proposed for implementation of new types of gyroscopes based on disk mini-resonators with whispering gallery modes is proposed, and characteristics of two samples of passive disk resonators with a diameter of 5 mm, made of CaF2 and MgF2, are determined theoretically and experimentally by analyzing the resonance curve. The quality factor obtained from experimental data comprises about 5·108 and coincides with the theoretical result. The derived estimate for minimum detectable angular velocity Ωmin = =0.3°/h allows to use such gyroscopes with whispering gallery resonators in a wide range of different devices, e.g., robotics, drones, etc.

Modular equipment is characterized by versatility in use and can perform processing operations as well as supporting ones. It is obvious that modules can vary in size and in the tool axis position, which makes it difficult to install and configure in manual mode. A technique for automated positioning of removable modules for a three-coordinate platform based on the use of a computer vision system is proposed. An algorithm is developed that combines an observing camera located above the working area with incremental encoders of the platform servo drives. A library of optical labels is used to determine the configuration of the workspace and the dimensions of the module. This technique allows to avoid the error of manually installing modules by comparing the coordinate systems of the module and the platform, as well as to increase the level of automation of the product workflow.
