In this paper, research on the development of methods for the production of thermoplastic elastomers for construction purposes based on styrene-butadiene-styrene rubber filled with expanded perlite, studied the performance characteristics of these materials. Various methods for the modification of thermoplastic elastomers, their processing modes and methods of controlling their properties are considered.

Keywords: thermoplastic elastomers, expanded perlite, production methods, material characteristics, density, physical and mechanical properties

In article dependences of resistance are investigated on drove the planetary mechanism from the operating moment on the central wheel. The hypothesis about active and jet components of mechanical resistance is offered in compliance with a method of electromechanical analogies. Results of pilot studies of the adjusting characteristic of the generator of the moment confirming theoretical provisions are presented.

Keywords: moment generator, adjusting characteristic, electromechanical analogies, jet resistance

In this paper we consider the problem of effective forecasting of electricity consumption for multiple objects in automatic mode. We propose an approach to automation of forecasting process, based on CRISP-DM. There were considered methods of computational intelligence for the data preprocessing - filling the gaps and identification of the emission, methods of construction and adjustment of forecasting models. As the computational basis are used connective models, based on neural networks and on constructive neural networks. There was shown the system architecture that implements the mechanisms of computational intelligence, and was presented the results of the tests.

Keywords: consumption of electricity, forecasting automation, computational intelligence, identification of the emission, connective models.
