Modern measuring instruments as highly technological, precise, multi-functional tools today are complex systems, and estimation of their uncertainty turns into a non-trivial task of science. To provide information about the probability of results, their convergence, and reproducibility, it is necessary to analyze the task-oriented measurement uncertainty. As an approach to determining the uncertainty of complex systems, to avoid the need for professionally experienced personnel and expensive “artifacts” used for evaluation, there is a method of a so-called virtual measuring instrument. In this method, the measurement process is simulated, taking into account the influence of the main disturbance parameters and conducting statistical analysis using the Monte Carlo approach. All characteristics of virtual modules repeat the properties of real devices but allow quick and qualitative evaluation of environmental parameters' effect on the accuracy, as well as the uncertainty of measurement. It allows us to evaluate the correctness of the result under the present conditions. The measurement uncertainty is usually caused by several major sources. Uncertainty depends on the method of measurement, but there are still common factors, i.e. uncertainty caused by measuring instruments, methods, operators, and environment. Among environmental influences, it is important to highlight – the change of light and temperature, which can vary widely variate at the production process, and at the same time have a crucial impact on the uncertainty of measurement. The paper presents a virtual measurement instrument method and its known implementations.","PeriodicalId":415989,"journal":{"name":"Measuring Equipment and Metrology","volume":"211 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121089665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The general principles of construction of recurrent LADCs are outlined. The implementation of recurrent LADC with a constant and a variable in the process of converting the base of the logarithm is considered. Generalized structural schemes of the recurrent LADCs are given, and their accuracy and speed of operation are evaluated. Changing the base of the logarithm leads to a significant increase in the speed of the recurrent LADCs, and it is advisable to change the base according to the binary law. An increase in the number of conversion cycles in the recurrent LADCs with a variable base of the logarithm made it possible to obtain an accuracy higher than the nominal value of the source code. For example, in the 8-bit recurrent LADC, the accuracy of 10 binary digits is obtained in 4 conversion cycles. Exceeding the nominal value by more than 2-4 binary digits is practically impractical due to a significant increase in conversion time.","PeriodicalId":415989,"journal":{"name":"Measuring Equipment and Metrology","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129562864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microprobe analysis of the concentration of atoms on the surface of TiСo1-xMnxSb samples established their correspondence to the initial compositions of the charge, and X-ray phase analysis showed the absence of traces of extraneous phases on their diffractograms. The produced structural studies of the thermometric material TiСo1-xMnxSb allow to speak about the ordering of its crystal structure, and the substitution of Co atoms on Mn at the 4c position generate structural defects of acceptor nature. The obtained results testify to the homogeneity of the samples and their suitability for the study of electrokinetic performances and the manufacture of sensitive elements of thermocouples. Modeling of structural, electrokinetic and energetic performances of TiСo1-xMnxSb, х=0.01–0.10, for different variants of spatial arrangement of atoms is performed. To model energetic and kinetic performances, particularly the behavior of the Fermi level, the band gap, the density of states (DOS) distribution was calculated for an ordered variant of the structure in which Co atoms at position 4c are replaced by Mn atoms. Substitution of Co atoms (3d74s2) by Mn (3d54s2) generates structural defects of acceptor nature in the TiСo1-xMnxSb semiconductor (the Mn atom contains fewer 3d- electrons than Co). This, at the lowest concentrations of impurity atoms Mn, leads to the movement of the Fermi level from the conduction band to the depth of the band gap. In a semiconductor with the composition TiCo0.99Mn0.01Sb, the Fermi level is located in the middle of the band gap, indicating its maximum compensation when the concentrations of ionized acceptors and donors are close. At higher concentrations of impurity Mn atoms, the number of generated acceptors will exceed the concentration of donors, and the concentration of free holes will exceed the concentration of electrons. Under these conditions, the Fermi level approach, and then the level of the valence band TiСo1-xMnxSb cross: the dielectric-metal conductivity transition take place. The presence of a high-temperature activation region on the temperature dependence of the resistivity ln(ρ(1/T)) TiСo1‑xMnxSb at the lowest concentration of impurity atoms Mn, х=001, indicates the location of the Fermi level in the band gap of the semiconductor thermopower coefficient α(Т,х) at these temperatures specify its position - at a distance of ~ 6 meV from the level of the conduction band . In this case, electrons are the main carriers of current. The absence of a low-temperature activation region on this dependence indicates the absence of the jumping mechanism conductivity.

The development of automation and GPS-assisted vehicle management in the agricultural sector has established the concept of precision agronomy and precision agriculture, as well as automation in the production chain. However, such systems have significant drawbacks related to the flexibility, rationing, reliability, and real-time presentation of data. The mechanisms of control and standardization of the creation and functioning of the CPS in the field of agro-industry are analyzed. Suggestions for improving these processes have been created. In order to create appropriate regulatory, technical and metrological assurance, the classification of CPS is proposed by different criteria, namely: by industry, by type of work performed, by nature of the movement, by type of management. Taking into account the risks of CPS is particularly important for the agricultural sector. From a technical point of view, risks were identified during the construction and operation of the CPS. They relate to data heterogeneity, reliability, data management, privacy, security, and large-scale processing of large amounts of data.
