Calendar maintenance of arbitrarily structured systems

A semi-Markov model is constructed that describes an arbitrarily structured multicomponent technological system and takes into account its calendar maintenance. Using an aggregation algorithm, approximate values of stationary reliability characteristics and an optimal term of maintenance work are determined for the system. __________ Translated from Kibernetika i Sistemnyi Analiz, No. 2, pp. 69–86, March–April 2006.     

Adaptive control of diamond drilling of nonmetallic materials

The basic principles for selecting the work regimes for diamond drilling of nonmetallic materials are presented. The process of microcutting by a single diamond grain is examined, and relations between the components of the cutting force and the ratio of the rate of the main motion to the feed rate are obtained on the basis of known relationships. It is shown that adaptive control of the drilling nonmetallic materials is possible using two-circuit systems — one for feed-rate control and one for cutting-rate. __________ Translated from Steklo i Keramika, No. 3, pp. 28–30, March, 2007.

Application of Physical Methods for Reducing Plutonium Hexafluoride

The exploding-wire method, the photochemical method of irradiation with a light flux from a high-pressure mercury lamp, a high-intensity spark discharge, and irradiation by a CO₂ laser are used to reduce plutonium hexafluoride and to separate it from uranium hexafluoride. The dependence of the reduction of plutonium hexafluoride on the wire material, the mass of the reduced product, and the amount of input energy is investigated.It is shown that the methods presented for reducing plutonium hexafluoride and separating it from uranium hexafluoride can be used under static and dynamic conditions for preparative purposes and on a large scale.     

由呼出气中的氡浓度估计铀矿工体内~(225)Ra的负荷量

本文测量了某铀矿不同工种的56名矿工下矿井作业前的呼出气中的~(222)Rn浓度,并由此估算了他们体内的~(226)Ra 负荷量。按不同工种的人数加权,呼出气中的~(222)Rn 浓度平均值为34.1Bqm~(-3),体内~(226)Ra 负荷量的均值为1.95kBq。同时还对9名休息了2天的和2名离开井下作业3—4年的矿工以及12名来下过矿井的本矿工人呼出气中氡浓度进行了测量,由此估算出其体内~(226)Ra 负荷量的均值分别为1.11、0.94和0.17kBq。     

Mapping the index set of algorithm variables to a systolic structure

A formalized procedure is proposed for determining the input/out sequence and the stepping of variables in systolic or semisystolic computers. The procedure is applicable to the design of systolic arrays, as well as to existing computers.Translated from Kibernetika, No. 1, pp. 51–57, January–February, 1991.
