The work proposes the use of a unique method of creating passive, multifunctional, non-contact pressure-temperature sensors. The basis of this method is a combination of inorganic semiconductors and high-molecular organic cholesteric crystals. According to their morphology, such crystals represent a spiral structure that is sensitive to changes in external physical factors, such as temperatures, due to changes in the periodicity of the structure, which leads to Bragg diffraction scattering of light on it. The consequence of such influence is the coloring of the cholesteric, which can be identified by external spectrosensitive devices on a non-contact basis. On the other hand, the use of inorganic semiconductors involves the production of a micro-profiled base with a thin silicon membrane that is sensitive to external pressure. The thickness of the membrane determines the operating conditions of the sensor depending on the range of applied pressure from 0.3 bar and above. A hardware and software complex was developed for continuous monitoring of changes in the color of passive pressure-temperature sensors, tracking the spectral distribution of the light intensity of the color of the liquid crystal depending on the operating conditions on a non-contact basis with an external spectrometer. The basis of such a system is a software module created on the basis of the MVVM (Model–View–View Model) architecture template. A feature of the software module is the use of the .NET and WPF frameworks, which natively support this architectural pattern for .NET Windows platforms and are supported by all popular versions of operating systems. The SQlite database, which is a relational database management system, is used to store data in the software application. The OmniDriver library was used in the system to operate and configure the spectrometer. The software module has two modes of operation with spectrometers. The first mode is characterized by the reading of a single spectrum, while the second mode is characterized by periodic reading and processing of the intensity spectral distribution in real time with a given period. When using the second mode, the software module allows you to dynamically change the periods and parameters of changing the color parameters of the light over time. The main algorithm of the software module is the transformation of the spectral intensity distribution normalized in the CIE XYZ color model, which is the basis for all further calculations, into the RGB model.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2019, Covid-19 has become one of the most important topics in the field of medicine. This disease, caused by the SARSCoV-2 virus, can lead to serious respiratory diseases and other complications. They can even lead to death. In recent years, the number of Covid-19 cases around the world has increased significantly, resulting in the need for rapid and effective diagnosis of the disease. Currently, the use of deep learning in medical diagnostics is becoming more and more common. It provides the high diagnostic efficacy that scientists, doctors and patients care about. During the Covid-19 diagnostic procedure, most clinicians order images from Xray and CT to be taken from patients. It is the analysis of these images that gives a full diagnosis. In this article, we will discuss the use of deep neural networks in the diagnosis of Covid-19, especially using chest images taken from X-ray and CT. 

In the work, a study of the design and technological direction of creating a dual-functional non-contact pressure and temperature sensor based on silicon-cholesteric crystal systems was carried out. An optically active environment based on a supramolecular spiral structure is a sensitive element for forming the optical response of a microelectronic label sensor during non-contact monitoring of the state of a physical object using a spectrometer. The optical response of the device provides maximum intensity in the case of interference that corresponds to the Wulff–Bragg condition. The functionality of the sensor is ensured by the conditions for avoiding high electromagnetic interference during optical identification. A hardware and software modules have been created for non-contact monitoring of the state of physical objects, the main part of which is graphical user interface that corresponds to the MVVM architectural design pattern. Visualization of the spectral intensity using the software module was provided by conversion to the RGB model. The algorithm of procedure for calculating the color rendering index is given. In a wide range of light waves, the main parameters' color temperature was defined.

Application of intelligent expert systems for structuring and automation of laboratory activities in the educational process has been analysed. It is shown that combination of teaching materials with cross-references and transitions by the means of expert systems allows educators to make optimal decisions on time, set priorities and prepare more effective laboratory classes. The implementation of expert systems for classification sections of academic disciplines in both engineering and technical sciences and humanities has been discussed. An algorithm for making decisions by an expert system, where the main emphasis is given to laboratory tasks and work with laboratory equipment, is proposed. It is shown how to develop a new expert system which can help university educators prepare remote laboratory work, and also to use of virtual simulators or effective practical training. The proposed expert systems can be used for classifying thematic sections of a wide range of disciplines, including natural sciences, engineering, and humanities. They can be used for preparing new courses and training new educators in different areas. Thus expert systems are described as high-scale software units without restrictions on the depth of the question tree and the number of logical branches of the classifier.
