A method for output-uniform coding of memoryless sources with unknown message statistics is proposed. The efficiency of this method is estimated. It is found that this coding is more efficient than coding uniform in input.

The paper considers an algorithm for nonlinear quasioptimal digital processing of signals with various types of angle modulation based on a generalization of the Capon minimum variance approach. The algorithm makes it unnecessary to compensate for the unknown frequency shift in the problem of determining the relative time delay of signals during multichannel propagation. Efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated on phase- and frequency-shifted keyed signals which represent short information sequences.

The paper describes parallel transformations of the Walsh and Haar transforms with a time complexity O(log₂N), as well as the fast wavelet and saw-tooth transforms. The parallel calculation of the basis of the discrete Fourier transform is performed with a time complexity O(1); the parallel algorithm of the fast wavelet transform is estimated as having a time complexity O(log₂log₂N × log₂N).

Based on the well-known algorithm of the most likely estimates of the center frequencies of a normal narrow-band random process with a fractional rational spectrum, a similar algorithm for a process with a Gaussian spectrum is proposed and investigated by computer simulation. The practical importance of the development of algorithms for efficiently estimating the parameters of such processes is that they are a sufficiently close model of the output signal of laser Doppler systems used to study hydrodynamic and aerodynamic flows, measure the velocity of diffusely reflecting solid objects, and perform laser sensing of the atmosphere. The results of the studies show that the proposed algorithm does not shift estimates of the Doppler frequency (velocity), gives fairly accurate estimates (for a Doppler system with 25 interference fringes in the measuring volume at a measurement time equal to 100 Doppler periods, the error is only 0.12%), has high noise immunity, and evaluates the resulting errors.

This paper considers a method of using a posteriori information to correct control actions on a poorly formalizable dynamic object and a new design of an observer of unmeasurable variables based on the method of analytical design of aggregated regulators and the concept of recognition of the states of a complex object from the time series accompanying its operation. Numerical simulation results are given.

Operation regimes of an electrical energy microgenerator based on a multilayered structure consisting of a metal, a dielectric with a built-in charge, a microgap, and a moving electrode, whose operation principle is based on electrode vibrations in the force field of the space charge of the dielectric, are analyzed. Specific features of electromechanical conversion of energy due to vibrations of the electrode surface in submicron gaps are found. It is demonstrated that such microgenerators in the low-frequency regime (10-100 Hz) can produce power sufficient for providing energy for modern microcircuits (up to 1-10 mW/cm²) without using any other power sources.

This paper substantiates laser scribing conditions for fabricating mosaic photodetectors based on molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) p-type HgCdTe films on GaAs substrates without loss of image information at a spacing of photosensitive elements (10 µm in diameter) of not less than 46 µm. A scribing technique for linear array photosensitive elements of dimension 4×288 p-n junctions spaced at 56 µm intervals is described in which a two-level depth groove is formed in several passes. In the region of p-n junctions, the groove is formed by radiation with an average power of 1.4 mW, and outside this region, it is formed by radiation with an average power of 2 mW. The groove has varying depth: outside the p-n junction region, the grove is 120 µm deep and 22 µm wide, and in the junction region, it is 26 µm deep and 18 µm wide. It is shown that the laser radiation effect does not lead to accelerated degradation of the electrical parameters of the p-n junctions

The dependence of the thickness of the fluid film flowing down the sphere surface in the gravity field on the fluid flow rate and the polar coordinate is measured by an optical method. Comparisons of experimental data with theoretical estimates are demonstrated.

A method for constructing fast projection-variance algorithms based on convolution algorithms for calculating variances of Radon projections is proposed. It is shown that the use of bilinear interpolation of the convolution kernel and parabolic interpolation of quantized estimates of directional fields increases the accuracy of the algorithms by more than a factor of 2. Two methods for constructing directional fields on the basis of Radon projections are considered and compared. Examples are given showing the computational efficiency, accuracy, and noise resistance of the proposed algorithms.
