Protection of computer software in the copyright system

Software development in recent decades has demonstrated a pace of change not seen since the Industrial Revolution. Software affects almost every aspect of human life in all parts of the world. From an intellectual property rights perspective, discourse and debate focus not only on how software should be protected, but also on a host of issues that reflect the many aspects that software plays in the digital distribution of creative content.

GENERALIZED RISK ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE FOR SOFTWARE TESTING OF LEGALLY REGULATED MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

The legal metrology covers measuring instruments (MI), the measurement results of which are used in calculations for consumed energy resources, in the fields of information protection, security, environmental protection, etc. Most modern MIs use microcontrollers or are controlled by computers. The software (SW) of such MIs provides an opportunity not only to automate the processes of measurement and calculation of results but also to ensure long-term storage and data transfer. The manufacturer is responsible for investigating and assessing all possible risks related to the MI SW.

DESIGN OF THE WATER STRIDER-LIKE ROBOT

The development of the human population produces ecosystem changes. Monitoring of them can be considered one of the key prerequisites for ensuring its survival. At the same time, the development of Metrology 4.0 based on the study of land massifs and the control of their characteristics should consider the methods and means for studying the aquatic environment by new types of robots, as platforms for deployment of some sensors, namely multi-legged walking devices, for example, the "water striders".

Intelligent information system for automatic generation of symbols in the APP-6D standard

Military symbols play a key role in the command and control of military forces. By communicating information that meets basic requirements, situational awareness can be quickly achieved; by its graphical nature, it provides a common operating language that greatly facilitates interaction across cultural and linguistic barriers. With the advent of information technology, the need arose for rapidly recognized international standards that could then be taught to computers. The fusion of high standard air, sea and land symbols on APP-6 paper resulted in Mil-Std-2525 and NATO APP-6D.

Software for Calculating the Location Coordinates and Weighting Coefficients of Acoustic Paths of Ultrasonic Flow Meters

The article focuses on the development of software that allows you to calculate the location coordinates (x) and weighting coefficients (w) of acoustic paths of multipath chordal ultrasonic flow meters. The input data for the calculation are three (and in one case – four) parameters – the number of acoustic paths (N) ultrasonic flow meter, the type of numerical integration method, the internal diameter of the pipeline and degree (k) of weight function of Jacobi polynomial (if the Gauss-Jacobi numerical integration method was chosen).

Graphic computer technologies in 3D modeling of special technical equipment

The involvement of computer graphics technology is need for the training of specialists in engineering specialties. The concept of the necessary software has been developed, as well as current technical issues have been addressed, in particular, the choice of engine for working with computer graphics. The influence of the main factors on the parameters of rescue equipment is considered, including fire trucks. Special software is given as an example and  the work of the developed software is described.

Determination of coordinates of unmanned aircrafts by means of kinematic projection

A methodology for determining the mechanical trajectory and spatial coordinates of unmanned aircrafts by means of kinematic projection is described.  The suggested methodology consists in the formation of two moving independent centers of kinematic projection by launching intercepting drones into space.  Electromagnetic radio waves emitted by unmanned aircrafts pierce an unknown flying object and generate two independent projecting rays intersecting at the place of searching a flying object.  At that, the instantaneous (at a certain moment) projection of the point of spatial location of the

Information System of Accounting for Methodical Work of the Department

An Information system for the analyzing the methodical work of higher educational institution department has been developed. It is established that the methodical work of the department is of great importance in ensuring the quality of educational activities of higher educational institutions, which provides in particular the availability educational and methodological support of the educational process and information systems for effective management.

SPECIALIZED SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE FOR IMPEDANCE SPECTROSCOPY OF THERMOELECTRIC ENERGY CONVERTERS

The technique of characteristics of thermoelectric energy converters based on the study of the frequency dependence of their impedance is presented. Specialized hardware and software for impedance spectroscopy of thermoelectric modules have been developed. For the analysis of the obtained spectra, an electrothermal model was taken as a basis, which describes the experimental results well and allows one to obtain not only electrical but also thermal characteristics of a thermoelectric energy converter.

Mobile information technologies in the problems of a suitable tourist at the time of excursion

The peculiarities of development of software on the platform of mobile operating systems, for informative support of tourists are analyzed. The proposed recommendation system is based on the use of the functionality of GPS-modules of the smartphone in order to take into account the current location of the user, as well as the actual distances to the target objects of the route. This, in turn, is an informational and technological basis for the implementation of the functions of optimizing excursion routes.
