Automated control of optimal hydraulic modes of the heat supply system of the city of Naberezhnye Chelny

To control the modes of operation of the city's heating networks, a new approach to regulating the city's heat supply system was introduced with the creation of an innovative regime map that allows optimal modes to be maintained with each change in coolant flow in the heating network, covering the entire possible range of network water consumption during the heating period. Thus, one mode card carries a set of separately developed hydraulic calculations for each degree of outdoor air. To improve the management of the city's heat supply system, on the basis of a calculated regime map, software has been developed for automated control of hydraulic modes of operation of heating networks. What is the essence of the innovative regime map: for each flow rate of mains water (step 500 tons per hour), optimally sufficient parameters are determined by hydraulic calculation - setpoints at control points of the thermal network – on frequency control drives in pumping stations, on control valves (RC). Pressure settings are "hammered" into the control controllers of the CHP and RC, for each of the control points. When the flow rate of the mains water at the heat source changes, the parameters at control points throughout the entire heat network (simultaneously) at a given time automatically change.

Development of a mobile laser cladding complex for repairs of machines and mechanisms in production and field conditions

The machine-tool and tool industry is the basic sector of the economy, the development of which is provided by the level of scientific and technical enterprise of metalworking machines, universal technological equipment, forging and pressing and foundry equipment, metalworking tools, hydraulic equipment and other products for general machine-building purposes. The main goal of the Project development is to provide the technological and manufacturing industries of the BRIX Member States with metalworking laser equipment, which can significantly extend the service life of critical parts and components within the framework of the technical re-equipment program. The Project is especially relevant in today's situation, with the depreciation of machinery and equipment in the fixed assets of industry, reaching 52.5%. Due to a sharp decrease in the purchase of imported spare parts and components, the search for new production technologies and equipment aimed at extending their life cycle is especially relevant. Much attention is paid to new technologies for heat hardening of surfaces, the most famous of which are: volumetric heat treatment, laser, plasma, flame hardening and induction treatment. In addition to the general stages of the cladding process, it is important to note that with a total minimum number of manufacturers of surfacing equipment (stationary complexes), they use "boxed" surfacing technologies, which can lead to destructive effects on the processed products, which can cause microcracks leading to brittleness and brittleness, the economic effect for 1 enterprise is more than 1 billion rubles. In particular, this applies to the repair site of large-sized equipment and parts that cannot be disassembled and transported, mobile surfacing equipment is almost the only repair option. The use of this equipment will not only solve the problem of rapid repair, which needs to be solved for the continuous and reliable operation of the main sets of equipment in large enterprises, but also avoid the process of dismantling, transportation, on-site repair and installation, save labor intensity of workers and repair time, reduce downtime, and avoid the cost of replacing new parts and transportation for enterprises. At the same time, the mobile laser cladding complex developed within the framework of this Project for repairs of machines and mechanisms in production and field conditions will be easy to operate, maintain and transport. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GwPdrkyLOtb87yU0u4R3gZHfjt4-ArN0/view?usp=sharing

Modification of polyolefins in order to give them the desired properties to create composite materials with high performance characteristics is a widespread practice. As a rule, the addition of a certain modifier is multifunctional. The development of multifunctional action modifiers is carried out within the framework of solving specific technological problems and is limited in nature. Petroleum polymer resins have been found that have a multifunctional modifying effect on SEVA: it helps to improve thermal oxidative, physico-mechanical and adhesive properties. The use of the developed compositions in adhesive technologies is in the modification of the intermediate layer of "sandwich" structures, various adhesives and melt adhesives based on ethylene copolymers with vinyl acetate.

One of the sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, iodine, vitamins A, B, E, D, easily digestible protein is fish. In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated August 19, 2016 "On approval of recommendations on rational consumption norms for food products that meet modern healthy eating requirements", the consumption of fish products is set at 22 kg per person per year. According to Alexander Saveliev, the head of the fishing information agency, fish consumption in Russia is around 12 kg per person per year. The low level of consumption is also confirmed by the National Financial Research Agency (NAFI), with only 36% of Russians eating fish once a week or more. Main fishing areas include the Far East, Arkhangelsk and Murmansk regions, Karelia. One of the key problems is delivering fish to all corners of the country, keeping it cold, either refrigerated or frozen, to prevent spoilage. Such methods reduce the taste quality of the fish. One solution is to increase the volume of fish farming in other regions of Russia to improve access to quality and fresh fish throughout the country. The second problem is the increase in the average annual temperature, leading to an oxygen deficit in water bodies that have lost the ability to self-recover. Considering the fragility of soil and water biocenoses, the low sum of active temperatures (SAT), the period of recovery for agrobiocenoses is a considerable period of time (more than 5 years). Our studies have shown that the main reason for the occurrence of fish kills in water bodies and low fish productivity is the slow rate of oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolution during the dark and light periods of the day. The BIOPRINTECH team has developed a device that improves aeration technology in aquaculture cultivation. Our value proposition is an energy-saving aerator for more efficient oxygen dissolution in water. The project is expected to develop into a comprehensive solution that will monitor and restore the entire water body biocenosis. The aerator is installed at the bottom of the water body, enriching the water with oxygen and maintaining the circulation of water layers. During experimental studies in a water body in the Sverdlovsk region, the speed of oxygen dissolution in water was significantly increased. Air dissolution rates increased by 3.7 times, and oxygen by 9.7 times. The implementation of: The proposed technology will allow to reduce specific energy costs from 336 to 92 rubles. The production effect results in a 2-3 times increase in the stocking density of aquaculture livestock without the use of additional territorial and water resources. Stable fish cultivation will increase the yield from 50 kg to 550 kg per 1 ha of water surface without compromising taste quality. The elimination of the need for annual stocking of fingerlings, artificial feeds, and mass fish kills in aquaculture will enhance the profitability of aquaculture cultivation.

DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPLEX OF DEVICES FOR MICROWAVE ABLATION OF TUMORS
DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPLEX OF DEVICES FOR MICROWAVE ABLATION OF TUMORS

DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPLEX OF DEVICES FOR MICROWAVE ABLATION OF TUMORS

Problem: The lack of minimally/minimally invasive methods for solving surgical problems. The absence of Russian-made microwave ablation devices. Solution: The device for microwave ablation of tumors - "Lance MWA" contains an emitter connected to a microwave generator, made in the form of a piece of coaxial line, including external and internal conductors isolated from each other, with the internal conductor protruding outward relative to the external one. The emitter is installed with a gap in a radio-transparent catheter, and its working part is covered with a dielectric layer with a thickness equal to the thickness of the outer conductor of the coaxial line. Microwave ablation is a minimally invasive method of treating malignant and benign tumors. The procedure is most often used for liver cancer, but can be used for tumors of bones, lungs, kidneys, pancreas and other organs. An antenna is inserted into the tumor, which emits electromagnetic energy. It is transmitted from the generator via a coaxial waveguide and delivered directly to the tissues, ensuring the locality of their heating. 2. The radiated energy causes the water molecules to heat up. Water molecules transfer energy to the surrounding tissue and when a sufficiently high temperature is reached, its destruction occurs. 4. It is important to note that microwave energy directionally affects the area that contains tumor tissue, so healthy tissues and vital structures outside a given area are not subjected to excessive thermal damage.

UAV operators training solution using Augmented Reality (AR)

The project addresses the challenge of effectively training UAV operators while minimizing the risks of equipment loss and enhancing real-world preparedness. We propose establishing training centers utilizing a revolutionary technology: augmented reality. This system constructs digital three-dimensional objects with real coordinates in real-time and overlays them onto the video stream transmitted to the drone operator. This enables operators to interact with digital objects as they would with real ones, allowing them to fly through virtual training courses, monitor infrastructure using digital twins, and complete precision missions with digital targets. Augmented reality effectively merges the safety and flexibility of a simulator with the real-life challenges faced by drone operators. It significantly reduces the risks associated with equipment loss during training, allows for customized training scenarios tied to actual landscapes, and facilitates remote monitoring of training outcomes based on objective digital data.

UAV Operator Interface Using Georeferenced Augmented Reality

The current methods of operator-UAV interaction are largely derived from interfaces used in manned aviation. Typically, these interfaces consist of two or more screens that display a two-dimensional map of the UAV's flight path and the readings from onboard sensors transmitted digitally through onboard telemetry. In some cases, particularly when using a first-person piloting method, information from onboard sensors is overlaid on the flight screen as a two-dimensional interface on the video feed, known as OSD (On-Screen Display). This type of information presentation forces operators to constantly shift their attention between piloting screens and mission displays, distracting them and reducing their operational accuracy. Moreover, while optical or acoustic flow methods can provide estimates of linear and/or angular movement speeds, such data alone is insufficient for effective navigation. Operators also need to know their precise position coordinates and spatial orientation, which requires integrating data from various onboard devices. This raises the challenge of data fusion from heterogeneous sources, leading to the proposal of developing a hardware-software complex (HSC) that addresses the shortcomings of existing systems. The innovative aspect of the proposed project lies in the implementation of a high-definition video transmission system, seamlessly integrated with cutting-edge UAV operator interface utilizing augmented reality. Consequently, this allows the overlay of virtual 3D images with specific geographic coordinates onto the video stream in real-time. Such an interface type can effectively blend real-world objects with three-dimensional visualizations of processes or items that the operator interacts with, providing them with insights into scenarios that a real-time camera cannot depict, thus enhancing operator accuracy and decision-making.
