Implemented assessment of the mechanical behavior of reinforced synthetic fibers of polyethylene pipes, which are provided in the construction adhesive layer connecting the reinforcing plastic shells and pipes. Presents the results of quasistatic tests the tensile strength of model samples in the range of low climatic temperature and speed tests 25-100mm/min. The dependence of the temperature of ductile-brittle transition in the mechanism of destruction of model samples of speed tests, which at 100 mm/min up to 0°С. The mechanism of destruction of a model sample of the reinforced polyethylene pipe, consisting in cracking of the technological layer connected with layers of PE80 which ability to braking of a crack and defines transition from viscous destruction to fragile at fall of temperature of tests is interpreted. It appears that this result emphasizes the need to further clarify and harmonize the existing regulatory requirements on the use and operation of pipes and polyethylene pipelines in cold climate regions.

The paper proposes a method of calculating the amount of visual information in an image. The method is based on the model of local analysis in the early vision. We are talking about the information perceived by an observer under certain conditions, not about the information contained in the raster image per se. Simple striate cortex neurons respond to the simple visual features of image, for example, the bright stripes in a dark environment, and the brightness gradients. To evaluate the amount of information in the image, it is possible to take the ratio of the number of activated neurons to the total number of neurons in a model. It is necessary to consider the angular size of the image to calculate the value of the estimate.

In this report, we propose an approach to the automatic extraction of such components of the image, that are most useful for human observers to solve the recognition task. This approach is based on the concepts of psychophysiological mechanisms of grouping the simple features at the preattentive stages of visual processing. A method is based on digital image processing by a software implemented model "filter-rectify-filter". The extraction of the most informative areas of the photograph is based on finding local maxima of the model "outputs". The calculation results indicate that the areas of the image containing spatial modulations of the local features may be very useful for the recognition of faces.

Coding of information using of pseudo-random sequences  in quantum communication systems providing an operation with a low probability of single-photons detection is proposed. The results of statistical modeling of information extraction from the bit stream, received at different specified probability of detection based on the correlation properties of the M-sequences are demonstrated. It's demonstrated that the peak value of cross-correlation function for the M-sequence of 255 bits is on the average more than 2 times higher  than the level of side lobes at the probability of single-photons detection 20%.

Time Division Multiplexing is the one of the main information transmission technology. Main problem of this method is the large amount of empty of traffic. This number can reach about 97%. In article presents a method for reducing amount of empty traffic by using the new system pointers, that encode information about the frame . Pointer consists of three components : a pointer to a smaller source (points to the source that gave less information ), a pointer to a smaller amount of information and a pointer to the source memory block (points to the memory block , where the frame was formed ). This pointer is generated when creating a frame and is written in the first data slot. After transmitting a frame pointer is decoded, and based on this information, the distribution of data occurs on the output signals. The developed method has several advantages over similar methods of data transmission, does not depend of the speed of data sources, and have minimum depends on amount of input signals. This technology allows to fill information cells only useful information, and improve the efficiency of code up 96.6 %.

This paper outlines the implementation of computer model of second-order visual mechanisms that are specific to spatial contrast modulations, and represents the results of testing the model. Computer simulation is based on "Filter-Rectify-Filter" model with some important additions. The inhibitory parts of receptive field of simulated mechanism are non-selective to orientation and spatial frequency of texture elements. Texture modulated by orientation or spatial frequency does not reduce flank inhibition and does not activate the mechanism. Unmodulated texture  also does not cause activation of the filter because the flanking inhibition will be equal to or exceed the excitation. However, increasing the contrast in the center and reduction it on the flanks leads to the activation of the second order mechanism.

The paper considers the comparison of power consumption of Two’s Complement System and Residue Number System for digital signal processing applications. The comparison of these two implementations allows to conclude that, for these applications, the RNS uses less power than the TCS counterpart. The aim of the present paper is to highlight the reasons of this power consumption reduction.

In the field of the Museum exposition design in Russia and abroad considerable experience has accumulated. However currently we can state the absence of a comprehensive approach to create a coherent exposition system Exhibition – exhibition space. In this scientific article we formulated the concept of Space-graphic element. We have identified the structure, types and variants of use of space-graphic elements, as a special category of exposition tools in exhibition spaces. We have identified the main technical and compositional principles of space-graphic elements design. The use of those principles will allow organizing a coherent unity system Exposition – exhibition space. Concept of space-graphic elements is useful in the development of Museum and exposition activity.
