FPGA Implementation of Convolutional Neural Networks with Fixed-Point Calculations
Neural network-based methods for image processing are becoming widely used in
practical applications. Modern neural networks are computationally expensive
and require specialized hardware, such as graphics processing units. Since such
hardware is not always available in real life applications, there is a
compelling need for the design of neural networks for mobile devices. Mobile
neural networks typically have reduced number of parameters and require a
relatively small number of arithmetic operations. However, they usually still
are executed at the software level and use floating-point calculations. The use
of mobile networks without further optimization may not provide sufficient
performance when high processing speed is required, for example, in real-time
video processing (30 frames per second). In this study, we suggest
optimizations to speed up computations in order to efficiently use already
trained neural networks on a mobile device. Specifically, we propose an
approach for speeding up neural networks by moving computation from software to
hardware and by using fixed-point calculations instead of floating-point. We
propose a number of methods for neural network architecture design to improve
the performance with fixed-point calculations. We also show an example of how
existing datasets can be modified and adapted for the recognition task in hand.
Finally, we present the design and the implementation of a floating-point gate
array-based device to solve the practical problem of real-time handwritten
digit classification from mobile camera video feed
Mechanical properties of technical coated fabrics under axial and off-axial tensile tests
In the paper, laboratory tests carried out by the authors with axial (0° - warp, 90° - weft) and off-axial (15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°) tensile and also with biaxial tensile with shear with different load ratios are described. The purpose of the research was to determine the mechanical properties of material used at numerical simulations of membrane structures. Two different types of a technical coated fabrics used in the experiments - with and without Precontraint® technology. To measure the displacement and strain fields on the surface of specimens, the method of digital image correlation has been used. Numerical simulation of technical coated fabrics, imitating carried-out laboratory tests, has been executed with using of software program Ansys Workbench. It is revealed owing to analysis of results of numerical simulations that shear stresses make a significant contribution to the stress-strain state of material in off-axial and biaxial tensile with shear. The possibility of applying several classical criteria for fracture strength of composite materials in order to predict and evaluate the behavior of technical coated fabrics under load is shown

Розраховано математичне сподівання площі зміцненої поверхні деталі шляхом обробки імпульсами одиничних іскрових розрядів, яке залежить від кількості розрядів та їх площі. Досліджено залежність частки зміцненої поверхні від кількості імпульсів розряду при різних значеннях їх площі та від величини площі одиничного розряду при дії різною кількістю розрядів. Аналіз отриманих результатів свідчить про необхідність урахування площі одиничного іскрового розряду та їх кількості при розробленні технології зміцнення деталей машин.The mathematical hope of area of the fixed detail surface is calculated by treatment of high spark bits impulses, which depends on the amount of digits and their area.

An analysis of investigated results testifies to the necessity of account of area of high bit and their amount at development of technology of strengthening of details of machines
КОНВЕКЦИЯ ВОЗДУХА В СНЕЖНОМ ПОКРОВЕ МОРСКОГО ЛЬДА (AIR CONVECTION IN SNOW COVER OF SEA ICE)
For the first time, data on stability of stationary convective filtration within infinite horizontal layer of snow covering
the flat surface of floating ice is presented in this article. An analytical solution of the linearized problem
was obtained with the use of the Galerkin method, and the parametric analysis of the problem was performed.
It was found that the stability criteria (Rayleigh filtration numbers) obtained with consideration for the heat
exchange of snow cover with the atmosphere did not exceed the known value of 4π2 for a horizontal porous
layer with impermeable isothermal boundaries. As expected, the interaction with the atmosphere has the most
significant impact on the critical Rayleigh numbers, while influence of variations in snow density and ice thickness
and the thickness of the underlying layer of ice are small. Based on data of ice and meteorological observations
made in the winter of 2015/16 in the Western part of the Laptev Sea together with calculations of the
fast ice evolution, the values and temporal variability of temperature gradients and the Rayleigh numbers in the
snow cover were obtained using a thermodynamic model. It was found that both, the model and observed magnitudes,
exceeded their critical values determined by solving the stability problem. The conclusion is made that
the convective regime of the heat transfer does really exist in the snow cover, and thus its contribution to the
thermal and mass balance of sea ice during winter period should be taken into account
