Occupational safety is one of the important aspects of the organization of work in production. Domestic machines and units used in the food industry do not yet allow to exclude the impact of harmful and dangerous production factors, to make the work of employees safe. In this context, it is important to study active and passive methods of noise and vibration suppression, their effectiveness in ensuring normalized working conditions of workers on the example of a specific production. Existing research, as a rule, focuses on one criterion when choosing protection methods. However, an integrated approach is advisable in solving this problem. The purpose of this study was to choose a rational method of protecting personnel from the effects of noise and vibration based on the economic justification of effective technical solutions. The obtained research results make it possible to take into account the criteria for evaluating the validity and acceptability of choosing a particular protection method, including from the standpoint of technical and economic calculation, when designing a security system. The above study showed the expediency of import substitution in the food and beverage industry, as well as the correlation between the introduced protection systems and an increase in the level of safety. The given algorithm of the feasibility study has the properties of scale and generality. It can be successfully implemented when choosing methods of protection from the effects of other harmful production factors found in various industries.

A programming method based on the ESC pattern is presented. The relevance of the work is due to the fact that the object-oriented approach is one of the most popular and sought-after ways to develop an information product due to a huge regularly updated selection of various methods, templates and ways of its implementation. The most significant of them is Entity System Component (ESC). This method of implementing OOP allows you to make the software product flexible and extensible. The ESC pattern is based on the reactive programming method and divides the entire code architecture into three components: entity, system, component. The tool package that implements the ESC pattern is the ESC DOTS package, designed for the Unity3D environment. The built-in Jobs System package provides the ability to work with multi-threaded programming in Unity. This package distributes threads created at runtime into groups of a certain type, which have a strictly limited execution time. Thus, the task of enumerating an array of several hundred elements goes into a Temp type thread, which runs for one frame in Unity, and the enumeration of a million polygons of the Unity landscape is placed in a Persistent type thread, which has an unlimited time limit.

The drilling and blasting method is currently the most widely used for mining rocks. An indicator of the high–quality drilling and blasting operations is the uniform granulometric composition of the exploded rock mass - the percentage of oversized ore pieces should be minimal. The percentage of oversized and its increase have a significant impact on the technical processes of transporting rock mass, leading to an increase in the costs of loading and transportation operations and secondary crushing of oversized ore masses. The paper describes the results of a study of methods for determining the granulometric composition of drilling and blasting operations using neural networks of segmentation Unet and FPN. Images taken from UAVs are used for analysis. A method of classifying ore by size has also been developed, which ensures the accuracy of the proportion of correct answers of more than 0.91. The expected result of the introduction of the system for automatic determination of the granulometric composition of drilling and blasting operations is the possibility of more accurate control over the quality of their performance.

Existing methods for determining the geometry of an enclosed space using echolocation assume the presence of a large amount of additional equipment (sound sources and receivers) in the room. This paper investigates a method for determining the geometry of enclosed spaces using sound location. The method does not assume the presence of a priori knowledge about the surrounding space. One sound source and one sound receiver were used to create and capture real impulse characteristics. A microphone was used as a sound receiver and a finger snap was used as a sound source to produce the impulse response. In this work, we used convolutional neural networks that were trained on a large dataset consisting of 48000 impulse responses and a number of room geometry parameters corresponding to them. The trained convolutional neural network was tested on the recorded impulse responses of a real room and showed accuracy ranging from 92.2 to 98.7% in estimating room size from various parameters.

Tests to determine the seismic stability of elements of pipeline systems, in particular pipeline fittings, are included in the list of those necessary to confirm the operability of the element. In this study, a stand was developed for testing to determine the seismic stability of butterfly check valves, which are a type of pipeline fittings. A finite element analysis was carried out, data on maximum deformations, stresses and displacements of structural elements were obtained, and the response of the installation table to seismic impact was calculated. The resulting displacement values of the table structure do not exceed the limit values specified by the technical requirements and do not lead to distortion of the structure or destruction of joints, which makes it possible to move from design to manufacturing and commissioning of the stand.
