Recently, the main principles in the field of municipal solid waste management are recycling and reuse of secondary resources. Information technologies are widely used in modern waste management technologies. Problematic is the issue of recognition of the sorting object on the waste conveyor. There are various robotic systems for automated separation of sorting objects. The article provides a description of the system in the process of "recognition - capture - movement" of a sorting object on a common conveyor. A group of sensors is used to identify objects on the conveyor, while simultaneously fixing the coordinates of each identified object on the surface of the conveyor belt. Information about the coordinates and properties of each identified object is transmitted over the communication line to the control panel by manipulators, which capture individual identified objects and mix them into special containers.

Results: in this article, the authors reviewed the process of workforce planning on the example of 3 General Contracting organizations. Having the technical documentation on the objects of the General contractors under consideration, the authors were able to deduce the number of workers during the construction of buildings. After analyzing the available statistics, we made a number of graphs showing the movement of monolithic teams on the objects. Based on the resulting graphs, the authors determined the average deviation of the actual number of monoliths from the planned one. Conclusions: the authors analyzed the dynamics of the construction of characteristic objects of different General Contracting organizations, indicating the difference in the values of the planned (projected) and actual labor resources at the facilities. Also, in this article the authors consider a number of the most used in the construction industry software systems for automation of labor resource planning processes, made their analysis and comparison of the main features and characteristics.

The article discusses the effect of photon drag (EPI) of electrons in a semiconductor quantum wire (QW) with hydrogen-like impurity centers and Kane's dispersion law, located in a longitudinal magnetic field. An analytical expression for the drag current density is obtained in the effective mass approximation, and its spectral dependence is investigated for various values of the magnetic field B and the parameters of the QW upon scattering by a system of potentials of short-range impurities. It was assumed that the QW has the shape of a circular cylinder, on the axis of which hydrogen-like impurity centers are localized. It is shown that, in the one-band approximation, taking into account the nonparabolicity of the dispersion law leads to significant dynamics of the threshold of the spectral curve. The spectral dependence is characterized by a pronounced Zeeman effect. The possibility of using an ESP for the development of photodetectors of optical radiation with a sensitivity controlled in a magnetic field is discussed.

The article discusses the requirements for automated control systems in the production of Earth orientation devices. Various types of interferometers are analyzed for use in an automated control system for the manufacture of optical instruments for orientation of spacecraft on the Earth. An overview of the most common interferometer models is given, the characteristics and features of their schemes, development trends and manufacturers are discussed in detail. A comparison was made of the parameters of a number of imported and domestic interferometers suitable for use in an automated control system. The advantages and disadvantages of interferometers according to the schemes of Jamen, Mach-Zehnder, Sagnac, Michelson and Fizeau are considered. The Jamen interferometer was invented for the first time in 1856, to measure small refractive indices of gases. The Mach-Zehnder interferometer was developed on a similar principle, its main feature is that the beams of the rays obtained can be separated at a sufficiently large distance using a semitransparent mirror. In 1913, the Sagnac interferometer was invented; in its design, the light is divided by a semitransparent plate-divider into two beams, which propagate in a circle and are reduced by mirrors back to the divider. Albert Michelson in 1890 proposed an interferometer scheme, the basis of which is a light-splitting mirror. One of the most common is the Fizeau interferometer scheme, proposed in 1868. In this type of device, interference occurs in the gap between two reflecting surfaces. Based on the parameters of the problem under study, the choice in favor of the interferometer configuration according to the Fizeau scheme is justified. Interferometer OptoTL-60/125 from LLC "Optical laboratory" meets all the requirements.

This article examines the range of issues related to the construction of the subway in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, using the example of the newly built Thu Thuem area as an example. The problem of construction lies in the difficult mining and geological conditions of Ho Chi Minh City. The geological structure has terrigenous-mineralogical associations, which makes the underground tunneling of the subway lines very difficult. Therefore it was decided to build the subway on trestles, but the calculation of foundations on terrigenous-mineralogical associations requires a detailed geological study.

During the reconstruction of facilities carried out in the conditions of existing urban development, questions often arise to solve the specific task of carrying out work on capital construction projects. For example, the work considered in the article on the reconstruction of health facilities is carried out in the conditions of existing institutions, various campuses or environments. At the same time, a number of factors that significantly affect the labor costs of workers, the methods of organizational and technological design adopted in construction are not taken into account. In the process of organizing reconstruction work in conditions of limited space and in rooms of small volume, there is a problem of determining the duration of work. There is also a problem of determining the number of necessary labor resources for a directive specified duration according to the terms of Government contracts. To solve the problem of coordination, the article considers the possibility of using transactional platforms.

In this article is considered progressive technology for producing heat-insulating materials by the method of self-compacting masses. Implementation of this method will allow obtain a significant economic effect in comparison with traditional technologies. Due to the use of the effect of obtaining excess pressure in a closed perforated form from an increase in volume during heating of pre-expanded polystyrene granules, it became possible to remove excess moisture, reduce the time of the technological process, and reduce energy consumption. This method allows to combine several processes in one operation: compaction of the mixture, heat treatment, removal of excess moisture. As a result of theoretical and laboratory research and experimental-production approbation, the possibility of implementing of heat-insulating materials of a wide range of applications with improved operational properties into mass production has been obtained. Perlite concrete is one of the effective heat-insulating material, the production of which is possible using the method of self-compacting masses. An assessment of the qualitative efficiency of perlite concrete was carried out: the thermal conductivity coefficient is within the limits required for effective heat-insulating materials. It was concluded that the use of perlite concrete in construction is promising: it is possible to reduce the drying time in 10-12 times, eliminate drying shrinkage, eliminate mechanical processing of products after heat treatment, obtain products of various configurations and volumes, with an improvement in strength characteristics at a minimum density.
