The problem of searching over encrypted data using homomorphic encryption in distributed software systems is addressed. The paper considers the application of the approach developed by the authors for the implementation of a distributed system prototypes for issuing digital diplomas and certificates for obtaining competencies with recording in IPFS and an Ethereum smart contract and a search engine for recruiting personnel. The prototype of the system presented in the article demonstrates the use of homomorphic encryption, which allows the search engine and users to interact with the directly transformed data in public blockchain networks without performing the reverse transformation, ensuring their security.

In this work, an experimental model of pulsed regeneration of a sodium-cationite filter was developed. This model can work both with a stationary water flow and with a pulsed one. It is established that at a high pulse frequency, the water flow tends to a stationary one. It is found that at any frequency in a pulsed water flow, hydraulic losses will always be less than at a stationary one. At the same time, the smallest hydraulic losses are observed at a low pulse frequency of 1 Hz, and there is also a decrease in hydraulic losses in the range from 4 to 6 Hz.. It is established that at the same concentration of salt solution, the hardness of the treated water is lower in the pulsed mode than in the stationary mode. At the same time, the lowest stiffness is achieved at a low pulse frequency of 1 Hz. It is established that the time spent on regeneration at an equal inlet pressure will be longer with a pulsed water flow than with a stationary one at any frequency of pulsed regeneration.

Currently, there are general mathematical models that allow calculating the simplest emotional education of a robot. Using these models, computer programs are implemented, for example, VibraImage by Elsys, which сalculates the simplest emotional upbringing based on the microvibrations of a person's head placed in front of a computer's webcam. However, it is not always possible to use the VibraImage program in specific situations. The purpose of this article is to describe an algorithm and software application for calculating the parameters of the simplest emotional upbringing of a robot according to the amplitude of a sound incentives acting on the robot. A formula is obtained for the simplest emotional education of a robot using the amplitude of the sound signal affecting the robot, as well as the ratio for evaluating the parameters of the simplest education of work. A computer program is described that allows one to calculate elementary education, memory coefficient and ultimate education of a robot using an audio file, which is a sound signal affecting the robot. The nature of the relationship between the parameters of the simplest upbringing and the length of the sampling step is determined. Identified the most suitable value for the sampling step length.

The article discusses the opportunities that arise when using data mining methods in construction. A numerical experiment is carried out to create an algorithm for making design decisions in the production of zero-cycle works, namely, when installing the enclosing structures of the pit edge. Comparison of the data obtained in the Deductor Studio software product with those actually used in the construction of a residential building is performed.

The purpose of this work is to develop an algorithm for recognizing shrinkage defects on metal alloys. The steps for image processing are described. When analyzing the algorithm, a description is presented for each step, followed by a software implementation. The final step, after using the methods of the algorithm, is to count the contours of the defects. To demonstrate the functionality of the software, random photos of the metal body in the section were taken, where defects in the form of gas pores can be directly observed. The software, with the correct selection of input data, processes the image with high accuracy, minimizing errors in calculating defects. Using the proposed algorithms reduces the diagnostic time. The article presents a comparative description of the manual and automated methods, showing the effectiveness of the second method in comparison with the first. To write the software, the Python 3.7 programming language was used, as well as the OpenCV computer vision algorithms library.

The presented article describes the modeling of a communication system (hereinafter SS) organized by a plurality of communication nodes of a public communication network (hereinafter SS SSN) and its elements. The task of modeling is to obtain interrelated initial data on the set of features for each investigated SS of the SSNS at each moment of the model time, taking into account the implemented activation processes and the logic of SS functioning. The process of functioning with the SS as a source of features is studied using a complex analytical and simulation model, since deterministic and random factors are taken into account for its development. The manifestation of signs is a complex process, since the SS is constantly in dynamics. However, the increasing intensity of the increase in the use of communication means and the load in communication channels leads to an increase in the number of manifested set of signs. The reasons for the manifestation of many signs are such factors as: dynamics of movement of the USS of the SSOP; modes of operation of SSOP elements, etc. All of these factors are used in the model as activating the manifestation of many features.
