The article considers the solution of the urgent problem of calculating the size of the effective focal spot of a microfocus X-ray tube using computer modeling methods. The principle of operation of the calculation method used by the authors is to compare interference images obtained using tested microfocus X-ray tubes with simulated interference patterns formed using the developed software by numerically solving the wave equation. It should be noted that modeling a one-dimensional interference pattern using fast Fourier transform requires a significant amount of RAM and takes considerable time even when using modern computer equipment. The paper presents the results of modeling phase contrast profiles for two types of test objects – nylon fishing line and aluminum wire. The considered method for determining the size of the focal spot is characterized by good sensitivity and allows efficient and high-precision calculations for all types of microfocus X-ray tubes.

The article discusses the methods and approaches developed by the authors for the recommendation system, which are aimed at improving the quality of rehabilitation of the patient during respiratory training. To describe the training, we developed our own language for a specific subject area, as well as its grammar and syntax analyzer. Thanks to this language, it is possible to build a devereve describing a specific patient's training. Two main methods considered in the article are applied to the resulting tree: "A method for analyzing problem areas during training by patients" and "A method for fuzzy search of similar areas in training". With the help of these methods, it is proposed to analyze the problem areas of patients' training during rehabilitation and look for similar difficult areas of the patient to select similar exercises in order to maintain the level of diversity of tasks and involve the patient in the process.

The question of creating an automated accompaniment is still an undisclosed part within the current automation of the musical field. The construction of accompaniment is used not only in the musical field, but also in related ones. Automatically generated accompaniment is used in audio and video studios for advertising, by people with and without musical education. In this paper, the existing methods for constructing automated accompaniment, audio file formats will be considered, and the developed algorithm and method for automatic accompaniment generation will be described.

To ensure the correct and continuous operation of all electronic devices, it is necessary that all components of these devices correspond to their declared characteristics. In this article, an information-measuring system for incoming control and analysis of the quality of components is being developed. Structural and functional diagrams of the system were developed. A natural experiment was carried out.

This article discusses the development of a digital weather station with the measurement of geomagnetic field parameters. The advantage of the developed device is the possibility of simultaneous stable and correct operation of several sensors (namely 15), measurement accuracy at long distances (up to 300 meters). Structural and functional diagrams of the device have been developed. The voltage regulator of the device is designed in the Micro-Cap circuit analysis program. Experimental studies of the finished device were carried out.

The possibility of channeling X-ray fluorescence inside the hollow microvascular at the energy of the exciting radiation in the vicinity SiL2, 3 - absorption edge has been researched. Theoretically obtained the angular distribution of the field passing through the microchannels. The calculation model of inhomogeneous waveguide layer with the generation of X-ray fluorescence inside the walls of the microchannels shows the possibility of escape of radiation at large angles.
