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.
Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures exceeding 47°C,which can occur during root canal obturation,can cause damage ofboth dental and bonetissues. In orderto study the temperature distribution on the surfaceof the tooth rootatemperature measuring device with cold-junction compensation is proposed. For in vitro measurement of the temperature distribution on the surface of the tooth, 8 thermocouples placed in direct contact with the cementum of the tooth were used.In order to eliminate thecold-junction temperature variations,the temperature equilibration device and RTD wereused. The suggested linear approximation for the thermocouples'conversionfunction providesa nonlinearity relativeerror of less than 0.05%for K-type thermocouples and 0.07% for J-type thermocouples over the temperature range from20 to 60°C.
