Annotation: As practice has shown, piezoelectric motors working on the basis of reverse piezoelectric effect principles can become the foundation for the latest automation and precision mechanics systems, as well as innovative lighting technology. The main interest of designers is focused on the possibility of building systems and configurations based on the reverse piezoelectric effect, related to precision and compact stepper motor systems. As the requirements for accuracy increase and the weight of such motors is reduced, including by decreasing their size, more solutions are proposed for the construction of elements and structures of these motors based on the complex use of special composite materials.

Annotation: Uniform monochromatic lighting of the operational zone is essential for a wide range of automated production processes. Standard-type lasers, under certain conditions, form point-distorted structures and are unsuitable for creating a uniform monochromatic light flow in areas such as an operational zone. LEDs do not produce distorted structures, but they have lower brightness. Additionally, LED radiation is non-uniform in the far field. To comprehensively address this issue, the proposed invention utilizes a phosphor droplet at the fiber end, where the luminous body size is determined either by the droplet diameter (100–150 µm) or the fiber core diameter (30–50 µm). The invented technology, integrated into a technical supersystem, is so flexible and adaptive that it allows for the incorporation of the most effective and cutting-edge local technical systems during system formation, including high-speed electronic boards (so-called RITM boards) and the most efficient structural materials, including composite materials, carbon-carbon compositions (obtained through vacuum pyrolysis on viscose fabrics), and films made of synthetic diamonds. The application of these innovative subsystems confidently provides advantages related specifically to the characteristics of laser diodes. The monochromatic factor of light emission, when using the proposed invention, eliminates chromatic aberration and increases resolution.

Annotation: In the field of medical and pharmaceutical smart technologies focused on artificial intelligence and artificial neural networks, the process of introducing innovations is significantly complicated due to the need to obtain permission for all fundamentally new technical and technological solutions, as well as new composite and nano-sized materials, to be used in medical and clinical practice and in pharmaceutical production; The area of application of innovations of all types is usually extremely saturated with all sorts of traditionally used technical solutions and materials, so that innovative changes of all types, according to the conditions of implementation, must be adapted and combined with traditional technologies and materials that fully comply with the requirements and limitations of current standards in the field of medicine and pharmaceuticals; In infrastructure and basic solutions, including those of auxiliary importance, correct and coordinated harmonious combinations between system elements at all levels generally determine the success of the innovation process in combination with the entire infrastructure and design architecture of equipment and special tools. In general, innovation is not an end in itself, the central goal of the entire innovation process is to obtain the final result from the implementation of innovative ideas at a level that will allow achieving a qualitative improvement in all parameters of the treatment process, while maintaining the continuity of technology, technology and materials, including consumables.

Annotation: The laws and practices of the integrated development of technical systems and over-systems in the context of the use of quantum computers and their simplified modifications, combined with embedded elements of artificial intelligence and artificial neural networks. The influence of digital technologies with elements of artificial intelligence and artificial neural networks on the industrial design process, as well as on the appearance and nature of modern technical systems of varying complexity. Today, when computer-aided design methods, particularly those from the SolidWorks software family, which can be rightfully identified with artificial intelligence, have deeply penetrated the process of making technical and technological decisions, the number of facts and characteristics of a technical solution and its development, up to the technical supersystem, becomes so significant that it requires local alignment with definitions, provisions, and methods for identifying the entire hierarchy of technical decisions—from local technical solutions with uncontrolled technical and technological links to subsystems, and to the most complex conglomerate of local technical solutions, the supersystem. As the tasks faced by the processes of development, modernization, and optimization of technology and technique become more complex, local isolated solutions no longer satisfy clients, who seek ways to achieve the ideal final result. The reality forces them, in order to solve complex problems, to look for compositional, integrative, and comprehensive software solutions, in accordance with the terminology and definitions optimized by the author of this book in his previous relevant publications. Since the issues of identifying all types and levels of technical solutions primarily affect the possibilities of system protection for the created and developing intellectual property, both at the level of active and effective subsystems, as well as at the level of active accumulators of properties and characteristics of subsystems—technical supersystems.

Annotation: The proposed technology for organizing an information flow protection system within a corporation ensures multi-level system security, including real-time tracking of the status and location of each disk available within the corporation. Applying the proposed encoding methods for protecting information on mobile external storage devices is expected to achieve the same advantages as when used on optical storage media and information carriers. Thus, based on similar solutions, at least two projects with numerous applications can be developed: ● A technology project for encoding optical disk-based storage media, which includes an appropriate analytical-sensor device that, in turn, can have multiple applications across various fields and industries. ● A project for encoding and protecting information on mobile external storage devices, which includes an appropriate mobile or stationary sensor-based measuring, analytical, and comparative device, also featuring multiple applications and design models.

Annotation: The article is devoted to an experimental study aimed at identifying the features of the influence of mental arithmetic classes on the mental and creative abilities of children aged 7–9. The relevance of the topic is determined by the growing interest in accelerated development programs that allow developing in younger students not only computational skills, but also creative thinking, auditory and visual memory, and reaction speed. The novelty of the study lies in the integrated approach, which highlights the dynamics of key indicators (auditory memory, arithmetic speed, and creativity indicators) and analyzes their relationship with the systematic practice of counting on an abacus. The work describes intermediate and final results, analyzes parent questionnaires, and conducts interviews with teachers. Particular attention is paid to monitoring children's fatigue and ability to come up with innovative solutions. The work aims to illustrate how parallel activation of the left and right hemispheres through mental arithmetic techniques affects the formation of cognitive interest. To achieve the goal, a comparative method, source analysis, and statistical data processing were used. The publications of researchers indicating the positive effect of interhemispheric interaction were studied. The conclusion describes the results of the experiment and the prospects for introducing mental arithmetic into school practice. The article will be useful for teachers, psychologists, and parents looking for innovative ways to develop children's intellectual resources.
