Abstract: A method and device improve efficiency, depth and reliability of diagnosing technical condition of highly complex objects. The technical effect is achieved by signals received from a diagnosed object (DO). These signals are transformed into a technical condition initial estimate vector for the DO elements. Then, technical condition estimates for the DO elements are specified through a cyclical process and by using a reverse logical model and a direct logical model. A technical condition vector estimate is formed after the cyclical process is completed, and its variable components are used for deciding on technical condition of the diagnosed object elements. The device comprises an interface unit which inputs serve for connecting to the DO data outputs, a measuring unit, an initial estimate forming unit, a switching unit, a reverse triplex logical model and a direct triplex logical model, a result interpretation unit and a control unit.

Abstract: The micropump includes continuous cylindrical separating pipes having at least two alternating stages of pipes of small radius and large radius connected in succession. Each pipe of a large radius has one end as a hot zone, and the opposite end as a cold zone. The pipes alternate straight pipes with a large radius and U-shaped curved pipes with a small radius. The relationship of the large radius (R) to the small radius (r) is in a range of R/r=2 to 10000, while the relationship of the temperature (T2) of a hot zone to the temperature (T1) of a cold zone is T2/T1=1.1 to 3.0. The length and radius measurements of a straight pipe and a U-shaped pipe ensure a given change in temperature of the gas from the temperature of the hot zone to the temperature of the cold zone.

Abstract: In the method, a pre-selected working area of a graphene film with a linear dimension of 2,000 nm, which working area is divided into sections having a dimension of 50-100 nm, is subjected to the effect of a pulsed alternating magnetic field with a frequency of 3 terahertz that corresponds to the transition from the ground energy level, corresponding to the non-excited state of spin density, to a fourth working energy level of the excited state of spin density in the graphene film, thus causing spin density pumping. A spatially localized external magnetic field is generated around the edges of the working area, which resonantly reflects spinons having a working frequency of 0.5-1 terahertz that corresponds to the transition from a third working energy level to a second working energy level of the excited state of spin density, said spinons causing the induced coherent radiation of working frequency spin waves as they pass thorough the working area.
