The paper analyzes variations in the temperature of axle-box heating of railroad rolling stock considering two modes of the train - driving and parking position. Additionally, the article describes the influence of the axle load and season on the heat of the axle-box, forecasts intolerable residual resources and explains a possibility of detecting likely breakage at the very beginning of defects. The paper also deals with scientific literature related to axle-box heating and focuses on the conducted practical and theoretical experiments. The carried out research has established the rates of operating heating and critical heating. The application of numerical values for the algorithm of automatic control devices could help with detecting the breakdowns of the axle-box before they reach a critical state and assist in forecasting residual operating resources.

The Internet of Things collects a variety of sensor data, independently offers problem-solving solutions and allows them to be avoided. In order for these systems to function continuously, it is necessary to apply intelligent information routing algorithms. In order to discover new algorithms for the routing of the Internet of Things, this article reviews bioinspired algorithms, their advantages and disadvantages. We introduce membrane computing, P system and its membrane structure. Paper analyses different types of communication on the Internet of Things and classification of routing algorithms for the Internet of Things communication. The practical application of membrane computing and the possibility of applying membrane computing on the Internet of Things is also reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper describes the FPGA-based implementation of the modified speeded-up robust features (SURF) algorithm. FPGA was selected for parallel process implementation using VHDL to ensure features extraction in real-time. A sliding 84x84 size window was used to store integral pixels and accelerate Hessian determinant calculation, orientation assignment and descriptor estimation. The local extreme searching was used to find point of interest in 8 scales. The simplified descriptor and orientation vector were calculated in parallel in 6 scales. The algorithm was investigated by tracking marker and drawing a plane or cube. All parts of algorithm worked on 25 MHz clock. The video stream was generated using 60 fps and 640x480 pixel camera.

A new algorithm is utilized to examine the phase and attenuation constants of open dissipative epsilon- and (or) mu-gyrotropic rod waveguides. Our algorithm allows analyzing the waveguides made of materials having very high losses. The dispersion characteristics of p-Ge with a waveguide of two component hole charge carders are calculated when the ratio of heavy hole concentration in the material is equal to 5%, 50% and 95% of the total free carrier concentration. The effective mass of p-Ge heavy and light holes are 0.279me and 0.043me respectively. The dispersion characteristics of the main and eight higher modes are presented in the paper. The transformation of higher hybrid modes at some heavy hole concentrations can be noticed. Waveguide broad bandwidth can be considerably extended due to the fact that the losses of higher modes are larger in comparison to those of the main mode at certain heavy hole concentration.
