Abstract

Analysis of modern methods of preparation of gas sensors than utilize nanostructural materials in the basic construction has been made. Nanostructural materials utilization in the sensor increases specific surface area of its sensitive layer. Two groups of the methods that promote to solve this task were selected. The first one is related to the utilization of nanoporous anodic alumina substrate and/or membrane as sensor template. The second one includes the preparation of the sensitive layers based on the 1D–3D nanostructures. Enhancement of the sensor output characteristics is determined by the collection of advanced physicalchemical properties of nanomaterials and nanostructures utilized in the sensor construction.

Abstract
The theoretical and experimental results of longitudinally continuous-wave diode-pumped Yb:Y3Al5O12 (YAG) laser performance for compact field-condition measuring systems were demonstrated. Optimization of laser setup in terms of operation condition in the range of -40 ˚С – +65 ˚С without active thermal stabilization was carried out. Using Yb (10 ат.%):YAG crystal with the length of 3 mm the maximal output power more than 2 W was obtained in the whole of temperature range.

Abstract

Describes nonlinear optical frequency converter of laser radiation based on the two LBO type I crystals allowing to receive pulses of radiation at three wavelengths of 1064 nm, 532 nm and 355 nm with an adjustable pulse energy. For fine adjustment of the output pulse energy used two dual phase plates that change the orientation of the plane of polarization of the two waves in cascade third harmonic generation. Measured the efficiency of the generation of harmonics of the intensity of radiation at 1064 nm.

Abstract

Studies swing balls on flat substrate in pre-rolling, when the amplitudes of their oscillations are essentially less than radius of contact patch. A new phenomenological theory of rolling resistance is offered. This theory allows to determine moment of rolling resistance, friction coefficients, as well as determine the starting torque and the energy density of the peel adhesion. Describes the experimental setup and the experimental results, which are consistent with a mathematical model with high accuracy. In all the experiments gives estimates of accuracy.

Abstract
Improvement of repeatability and reliability of semiconductor wafers properties monitoring with a probe charge-sensitive methods is achieved by realization of Kelvin probe self-calibration mode using a wafer’s surface itself as a reference sample. Results of wafer surface scanning are visualized in the form of parameter distribution color map. A method of measurements based on Kelvin probe self-calibration mode is realized in a measurement installation for non-destructive non-contact monitoring of semiconductor wafer defects. Method can be used to define defects’ physical properties including minority carrier diffusion length and lifetime, trapped charge density and energy distribution etc.

Abstract

To determine the structural state of the metal as an informative parameter the structural acoustic noise is proposed. The paper represents the experimental results of the use at acoustical structural noise for the determination at the structural state of carbon pipe steels exposed by heat treatment, corrosion and tensile loads. The effect of grain size, corrosion and tensile loads on the level of structural noise is discussed.

Abstract

The proposed article about debugging method of control systems using mathematical modeling is the combined use of algorithms for debugging control systems and mathematical modeling in a single algorithm of debugging. For this transformation is proposed to produce changes in the control program for the PLC in order to use in mathematical modeling. In Matlab Simulink, using Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control (OPC)  toolbox tools libraries of commonly used actuators (pumps, heaters, valves, valveand etc.), developed by the author – create a system to link the work of the PLC simulator system and mathematical modeling in Matlab Simulink in real time. In the result of manipulation we get new algorithm exactly the same as the real mode and allows control systems to simulate operation of the plant, together with PLC based control system. The results of test shows the applicability of such techniques of configuration and test software and hardware complex, and the use of OPC technology allows to apply this technique to a large number of manufacturers of control systems.

Abstract
Existing methods of indirect methods of electrical parameters of two-terminal elements determination exhibit a substantial limitation. Such parameters as resistance, inductance and capacitance are determined by means of current, voltage, power etc. measurement and calculation with relevant formulas. Accuracy of these procedures is lowered by internal impedance of applied meters. In the paper there are proposed few modifications of well-known indirect methods aimed at elimination of their errors.
