Eye tracking (oculography) is a technology that allows recording the direction of human gaze on a visual stimulus. It’s application can provide researchers with valuable data on which elements of the environment are most attractive in various contexts, in areas such as marketing, psychology, etc. The aim of this work is to identify the pattern of human attention distribution on visual stimulus objects of different sizes using eye tracking technology. A webcam was used to record the subjects’ gaze movements while they were studying experimental images. The results of the experiments showed that larger objects in visual stimuli receive higher attention priority than smaller objects. This observation is true for both human-created works and images created by artificial intelligence (Kandinsky 3.1 is used in this study). The obtained results of the study will improve our understanding of how people perceive visual information, which can contribute to the creation of more effective approaches to interface development.

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.

The article considers a variant of constructing a digital twin model for diagnostics of operation of a mechanical gear transmission - a reducer consisting of a pair of cylindrical gears. The basis of the considered digital twin model is an adaptive learning vibration mathematical model of the static operating mode when gears rotate at a constant speed. The vibration signals of the reducer, recorded by accelerometers and effective for detecting and diagnosing faults, are used as the main information measured at the facility. The detected faults are cracking, wear, chipping and pitting of teeth. A special feature of the implemented digital twin is the ability to simultaneously detect faults of several teeth at once, both on the driving and driven gears, by time and frequency characteristics, as well as the ability to determine the main technical data of a specific reducer by vibration characteristics.

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. Unlike existing models, the proposed approach allows us to consider a more general relationship between the elements of the system and take into account the fuzzy nature of the implementation of the parameters. To solve this problem, an effective decomposition method has been developed.

A method for recording holograms using digital cameras with high spatial resolution is considered. To register holograms obtained in optical setups with an inclined reference beam, a high resolution of registration systems is required. To do this, it is necessary to use media with a resolution of 2000-4000 lines per mm. The use of photographic plates requires a fairly long exposure and development time, which is usually done separately from the optical setup. In the case of holographic interferometry systems, it is necessary to provide for mounting the hologram back into the optical setup with sufficiently high accuracy. Therefore, digital holography methods have been developed to record holograms on photomatrices with limited resolution. These methods are based on the use of optical schemes at small angles (less than 5 degrees) between interfering beams. Recently, sensors with a single element size of 1.33 µm and 0.56 µm have appeared. This resolution makes it possible to return to registration schemes with angles between interfering beams of 30-60 degrees. This allows us to hope for the revival of holographic methods and methods of holographic interferometry at the modern level without the use of intermediate recording media.

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.

One of the causes of local overheating of submersible electric motor caused by the presence of a significant variation of electromagnetic parameters of rotor packages (RP) in the assembly of submersible electric motor is investigated in this paper. Due to the presence in the assembly of RPs with an active resistance much lower than the average resistance of the assembly, the electrical losses in RPs with resistance higher than the average increase, respectively, their heat generation increases. With the help of statistical analysis methods, the distribution of electromagnetic parameters as a two-dimensional random variable was investigated, the "convolution" of the two-dimensional distribution law was constructed. The analysis of the "convolution" of the two-dimensional law of distribution of electromagnetic parameters of the RP showed that there is a high probability of a significant scatter of parameters of the RP in the assembly.
