The paper discusses a method for constructing a nonlinear software reliability efficiency function. The proposed algorithm is based on the use of information about the values ​​of reliability criteria, as well as some expert judgments. This approach differs significantly from previously proposed models for assessing software reliability, which are based on a probabilistic approach. In the proposed method, in addition to objective information, subjective expert assessments are taken into account, which allows for a more flexible assessment of the reliability of software products.

The paper describes a multifactorial nonlinear regression model of revenue dynamics of the mining and metallurgical company Severstal, based on retrospective information for 2009-2021. Production volumes by type were used as independent variables: hot-rolled and cold-rolled sheet, galvanized sheet and sheet with other metal coating, rolled products, large diameter pipes, other pipe products and profiles. The criteria of multiple definition and Fisher, as well as the average absolute approximation error, were used as criteria for the adequacy of the model. A model competition was held to select the best regression dependence. As a result, a model is constructed containing inverse transformations of two independent variables in the right part.

Stepper motors are often used in automated laser cutting systems. The control circuit of a stepper motor requires a special electronic device - a driver, which receives logical signals as input and changes the current in the motor windings to provide motion parameters. This research study evaluated stepper motor drivers to determine the feasibility of their use - PLDS880, OSM-42RA, OSM-88RA. To control the system, software code was written, which was connected to the controller via a link board. With each driver, in different modes, optimal parameters were selected (initial speed, final speed and acceleration), that is, the movement of the carriage without stalling for ten passes with a minimum travel time. The results of the experiments are presented in the form of tables.

An approach to solving the problem of justifying a project for the development of a complex system, taking into account the possibility of realizing the values of its characteristics and the presence of restrictions on their values is proposed . The general goal is formulated in terms of the theory of fuzzy sets and the theory of possibilities. Based on the global development goal of a complex system, local goals and objectives are determined. The problem of taking into account factors influencing the achievement of a global goal is considered. Achieving the general goal is associated with taking into account restrictions on the values of system indicators, as well as the need to determine their optimal values.

This paper considers the problem of removing noise from an image based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT) algorithm. Despite its simplicity, the algorithm is still popular in image conversion. However, recently there has been a strong development of convolutional neural networks, leaving behind “traditional” signal processing methods. In this paper, we study image denoising using DCT and convolutional neural networks and creating an interpretable convolutional neural network to obtain accurate data. The basis was the Python programming language and the library for working with neural networks – PyTorch. Based on this, a neural network model was trained on The Berkeley Segmentation Dataset. Experiments have shown that the trained neural network shows results comparable to traditional image denoising algorithms.

The article discusses standard models of titanium dioxide-based memristors. A memristor is similar to a memory resistor and demonstrates a nonlinear resistance characteristic in which the charge parameter is a state variable. They can be used to create new types of electronic devices with high energy efficiency and performance, as well as to create machines that can learn and adapt to changing environmental conditions and in many practical applications: data storage memory (binary and multilevel), switches in logical electronic circuits, plastic components in neuromorphic artificial systems intelligence based on nanoelectronic components. It has been shown that when voltage is applied to charged ions, they begin to drift, and the boundary between the two regions shifts. When a sinusoidal alternating voltage of a given frequency is applied to the memristor, the shape of the volt-ampere characteristic (VAC) resembles a Lissajous diagram centered at the origin.

The development of business analytics, decision-making and resource planning systems is one of the most important components of almost any enterprise. In these matters, enterprises and production facilities of the penitentiary system are no exception. The paper examines the problem of the relationship between existing databases and statistical reporting forms of the production, economic and labor sectors of the penitentiary system. It has been established that indirectly interrelated parameters are quite difficult to compare due to different data recording systems, as well as approved statistical forms. One of the first steps in solving this problem could be the introduction of a generalized data indexing system.

Roads occupy an important place in the life of almost every person. The quality of the coating is the most significant characteristic of the roadway. To evaluate it, there are many systems, among which there are those that analyze the road surface using video information streams. In turn, the video is divided into frames, and the images are used to directly assess the road quality. Splitting video into frames in such systems works based on special software tools. To understand how effective a particular software is, a detailed analysis is needed. In this article, OpenCV, MoviePy and FFMpeg are selected as software tools for analysis. The research material is a two-minute video of the road surface with a frame rate 29.97 frames/s and mp4 format. The average time to get one frame from a video is used as an efficiency indicator. For each of the three software tools, 5 different experiments were conducted in which the frame size in pixels was consistently increased by 2 times: 40000, 80000, 160000, 320000, 640000. Each program has a linear dependence of O(n) average frame retrieving time on resolution, however, FFMpeg has the lowest absolute time indicators, as well as the lowest growth rate of the function, therefore it is the most effective tool compared to the others (OpenCV, MoviePy).
