The paper describes the method for determining the position of the contact wire of electrified railways using microwaves. The method is based on the triangulation system of two georadars and allows to determine a contact wire zigzag and height from the rail head. The proposed method is all-weather with the possibility of continuous monitoring of the overhead contact wire in plan and profile with the opportunity to automate the processing and signaling abnormalities.

This paper presented the study of the mechanochemical activation powder mix in dry and liquid grinding media, accompanied by agglomeration of the particles. It Is shown that when agglomerate particles having a bimodal size distribution is forming during the treatment in a dry grinding media and partially (2 wt % ) decaying at grinding by pestle in mortar. The transition to liquid grinding media is leading to a unimodal size distribution and increasing dispersion of the agglomerated particles, characterized by secondary agglomerating when using the alcohol and destruction when using activation in saturated aqueous solution of boric acid. Inherited effect mechanical activation parameters on the compaction process during cold compaction and hot stamping has been determined. Application treated in a high energy mill in an grinding media saturated aqueous H3BO3 Al-Si powder mix results in the formation of moldings with low cold-pressing relative density (0.735) and the activation of the hot stamping compaction (|εh| = 0,592) providing production of hot-deformed powder material with increased mechanical properties.

A model is presented for the calculation of thermoelastic stress and displacement  in semiconductor structures
due to laser processing. Developed software based on the model allows to determine the optimal parameters of laser processing with taking into account the physical and topological parameters of the structure. The model is divided into two tasks: the non-stationary heat  conduction equation is solved, and the equilibrium equations and Hooke's law. For equations solution was used the finite difference method.

Keywords: Laser processing, thermal stress, finite difference method

The article presents a method of accounting land limits (charges) during the cadastral valuation of agricultural land. This allows us to differentiate the cadastral value , depending of presence of protection zone,  water protection zone and on other zones on the  lands. Cadastral cost of agricultural land on the example of Leningrad region counted. Determination of cadastral cost on the basic presented coefficients will reduce the land tax on the territory which include restricted mode zones of use. It will increase the objectivity of cadastral evaluation.

The article discusses issues related to the development of the optimal structure of neural networks. One of the major problems in the synthesis neural conrollers is ensuring optimal number of neurons and connections between layers  in the network. Necessary to achieve a compromise between the representational network capabilities, and memory that will be required to store it. The article presents a number of heuristics, allowing to reach such a compromise by limiting the number of connections for each neuron.
This is done through the introduction of two characteristics for the neuron: the radius of the coverage and density of connections. Coverage radius determines the number of neurons that could potentially have a connection to this neuron, and the density of the compound gives the actual number of such compounds. Altogether, these characteristics determine the amount of synaptic connections, which can have a neuron. The article presents the heuristics that allow to define these characteristics depending on the network structure.
