A. Vdovychenko, M. Markin, and O. Markina, “Alternating Electric Field for Non-contact Space Debris Displacement and Processing,” Studies in Systems, Decision and Control, vol. 622, pp. 129–145, 2025, doi: 10.1007/978-3-032-02770-2_8.

The work considers the use of an alternating electric field created by resonant circuits. The scheme and the principle of operation of such a system is presented. The characteristics of resonant circuits used as emitters were studied. The results of measuring the parameters of the spatial distribution of the electric field of the resonators are presented. Spectral components of the input signal and the resonant characteristics of the radiating circuits were investigated. Non-contact operations with conductive objects presented. The design features of the resonators allow working with acceptable levels of control voltages and protection against self-breakdown while ensuring the creation of strong electric fields. By using different combinations of resonators placing and changing the control signals’ phase, level and frequency, a virtual vector of the electric field force is created, which can be controlled by software to attract, orient, or rotate a conductive object. The system creates a voltage difference in two unconnected objects, which can cause an electric arc between them and, as a result, when attracted, weld them together. This can be useful in space debris recycling and various processing for the stable development of space infrastructure.

Purpose: of this paper is to provide operational tension control of fabric on knitting equipment using ultrasonic contactless transducers to improve the quality characteristics of the finished product. Design/methodology/approach: It has been established that the amplitude of ultrasonic waves passing through different zones of the textile material can be used to determine the tension of the knitted fabric over the entire width of its fabric. Findings: The possibility and expediency of determining the fabric tension on knitting equipment by using the ultrasonic contactless method has been shown. The tension of the knitted fabric in its manufacture is the main technological parameter, the value of which determines the physical, mechanical and consumer properties of the finished fabric, especially basis weight. The use of operational technological control of the tension of knitted fabrics directly during their production will improve the quality of finished products, and, accordingly, the reliability of use in personal protective equipment, in particular in body armour. It has been proposed to determine the tension of knitted fabrics in their production on knitting equipment by changing the amplitude of ultrasonic waves passing through the material under the action of tension, which also changes during the movement of the process equipment. The proposed contactless method is quite promising, since it has a number of significant advantages over the existing contact methods. In the course of the research, experimental measurements of the amplitude of ultrasonic waves have been carried out. These waves passed through samples of fabric of various materials while stretching. The samples of knitted fabrics were irradiated with an ultrasonic pulse signal with a wave frequency of 40 kHz. The samples of knitted fabrics from 58×2 Tex Kevlar threads and high molecular weight 44×3 Tex polyethylene yarns with double weave 1×1 elastic have been taken as a basis for the research. Research limitations/implications: For textile fabrics, the structure of which does not allow stretching through pores under the action of tension, it is necessary to additionally adjust the contactless sensors in frequency and capacity depending on the corresponding sample. Practical implications: The values of the measured amplitudes of ultrasonic vibrations that have passed the controlled material have been obtained. These values were compared with the amplitude of the waves passing through the fabric sample when the initial tension was applied to it. After that, the total current value of the tension of each sample of the knitted fabric in its threeultrasoniczonesmethodswas determined.are shown.TheThedistributiondeviations ofof the total tension in different zones of the sample material was also determined. between the amplitudes of waves passing through diffcontrolled fabric are also determined.

Purpose: The ultrasonic amplitude method for controlling the surface texture density of textile materials was first studied and used. Design/methodology/approach: For the first time, the surface texture density has been determined. The research was conducted using the ultrasonic method, rather than by mathematical calculations, which made it possible to invent a new approach to contactless quality control of textile materials. In order to identify the functionality of bicomponent textile material, formed from raw materials with opposite hygroscopic properties, two-layer knitted fabrics were chosen to protect the human respiratory organs. As a hydrophilic type of raw material used yarn with composition is as follows-cotton 34%, flax 33%, viscose 33%, and in the function of a hydrophobic raw material, polypropylene multifilament yarn. Using the ultrasonic method, studies of a new type of knitwear were carried out, the values of the surface density of the material were obtained. Products from this composition provide respiratory protection from dust and comfortable work in the area of road repairs up to 8 hours. Findings: The combination of natural and synthetic materials for individual masks allowed them to be used under different operating conditions. The problem of structure and design of materials was resolved through the use of computer technology and computer-aided design of textiles, and the possibility of applying the ultrasonic amplitude method to control the surface density of textile materials was substantiated. During the analysis of the results of experimental studies, it was found necessary to ensure the uniformity of the physical and mechanical properties of textile materials in the production process. Using the ultrasonic method, the thickness gauge was used to determine the surface density of various materials for the manufacture of personal protective equipment for road maintenance workers. Research limitations/implications: The method of measurement has been tested and has no limitations. However, the study was conducted on samples of textile materials that were manufactured in Ukraine and according to patents of authors. Practical implications: Individual masks for the protection of human respiratory organs are recommended for use by road workers and cyclists. Originality/value: The originality of the results of the article is the experimental data of studies on the content of textile materials and the accuracy of measuring their surface density by an ultrasonic contactless device.

Annabayev, “The peculiarity of the construction of an optical-electronic system for measurement of geometrical parameters of objects in the micrometer range,” Proceedings of SPIE – The International Society for Optical Engineering, vol. 10445, 2017, doi: 10.1117/12.2280987.

The optical-electronic system for measuring of geometrical parameters of micrometrical objects is a difficult process that requires the observance of certain features designing or improvement. The observance of that will provide a higher measurement accuracy compared with the accuracy metrics of measurement that were developed without compliance with these design features. Every feature of the design reduces the error of the functioning of individual nodes of the system or errors in nodes under the influence of various internal or external factors. When reducing or eliminating each factor of occurrence of the error, respectively, will increase the overall measurement accuracy. In this work, the result of introducing measurement error for each factor is determined experimentally and proved the correctness of such actions. Experimental researches of the measurement error to the stage of compliance with subtleties in the improvement of the opto-electronic system was 10 ± 1.5 μm, and after improvement with considering of the specifics of the design measurement error of geometrical parameters was 10 ± 0,33 μm.

The experimental model of bispectral pyrometer that is based on the CCD camera NOVUS NVC-530, laboratory model and software for experimental studies of its characteristics were created. Under the experimental conditions the characteristic of bispectral television pyrometer based on camera NOVUS NVC-530 ramps up from 0.1 lux to 3.8 lux, i.e. it is in the range of about 32 dB. Originality: The research results allowed adequate determination of the light-signal properties, namely its linear part with respect to the input signals. This provides a conceptual condition of independence of microconverters. Practical value: The laboratory model for experimental studies of bispectral television pyrometer has been created. Experimental studies of the light-signal properties of bispectral television pyrometer to determine its range of linearity were held.
