The influence of soil moisture and operational speed of a machine-tractor aggregate on plowing depth were investigated. The study is based on a one-year field try on the territory of Chirpan Region, in the central part of Bulgaria (42°09'07"N25°20'54E). Experiments were conducted on two parcels with sizes – 1000 m length and 45 m width. The technological operation Plowing was carried out with a five-corpus turning plow, aggregated to a tractor with 200 hp at two speeds – 4.5 km/h and 6 km/h. The momentous soil moisture was measured with a soil moist meter AM-128 SOIL in different points of the experimental field before conducting the technological operation. The actual working depth received after the operation with the machine-tractor aggregate was measured using a linear meter. Based on the applied ANOVA it was established that the average values of the parameter Plowing Depth at both aggregate working speeds were statistically significant at a level p < 0.05. The correlation analysis registered strong positive relation between the Aggregate Speed and Plowing Depth (r = 0.923), as well as a strong negative correlation between the Soil Moisture and Aggregate Speed (r = -0.943), and between Soil Moisture and Plowing Depth (r = -0.860). A multivariate regression analysis was applied related to the influence of aggregate s working speed and soil moisture to keep the assigned plowing depth. Two regression models were compared (Linear and Non-linear). According to the received coefficients of determination, the Linear model (R2 = 0.968) described well the relations between the examined parameters, but the Non-linear model was more appropriate (R2 = 0.977). Taking into account the graphics describing the Non-linear regression model it was established that the assigned working depth of the machine-tractor aggregate could be kept at the moisture of 70-80% and aggregate speed of 4.5-5 km/h.

A methodology for drawing up the structure of a distribution smart grid and for its dimensioning is presented. The necessary data for performing the calculations are described, variants of different distribution grid structures are discussed and the optimal variant among them is chosen in accordance with a pre-selected criterion – minimum discounted costs; minimum power loss; or minimum amount of undelivered electricity. The variants of smart grids - built with overhead power lines or with cable lines - are considered separately. The peculiarities of the process of dimensioning the distribution grids are specified. The dimensioning of smart grids, built with overhead power lines, is shown.

Especially with the COVID-19 pandemic, which is affecting the whole world today, accurate determination of the number of people entering a closed area has become very important in terms of measures to be taken against the spread of the disease. This project uses WiFi Signals and IR sensors to determine the number of people in a predefined area. To obtain the required raw data the system utilizes two main principles: the effect of humans on the WiFi signal strength and the entrance-exit control based on distance and LDR sensors. It is a low cost solution with quite good sensitivity and low error level. The simple principles which it is based on allows its application also in other areas like for example livestock farming, where the number of cattle entering a closed area can be counted.

LoRaWAN standard has been developed to access the gap in existing low rate, low power, low cost technologies addressing the needs IoT applications that cover larger areas than other popular wireless technologies like Bluetooth and ZigBee. In this project, a prototype LoRaWAN based network meeting the needs of smart farming with low power consumption was established incorporating most important sensors for measuring and keeping track of air temperature, relative air humidity, soil moisture, UV, IR and daylight intensity. The system comprises LoRaWAN compatible novel hardware and algorithms with interfaces for web and Android users. Devices used as nodes and gateways are designed to use the same card design. Google Firebase is used on the server side and a web-based interface on the user side.

Explosive Ordnance Disposal/Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (EOD/IEDD), Urban Save and Rescue (USAR), Firefighting, Chemical, Biological, Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) Agents neutralization robots serve every day. There is a necessary to focus research efforts on closing the technological gap between the current incidence response robots and the latest technologies implemented in major service robot fields such as game, domestic, medical, etc. and industrial robot applications. A target should be the improvement of the multi-mission capabilities and the effectiveness of the incident response robots. The main goal of the paper is to present a concept of haptic and autonomous multi-mission incident response robot for controlled industrial, civil and bomb disposal emergency situations. The article focuses on closing the reliability gap current incident response robots suffer in comparison with, e.g. the industrial robots.

The research on the different characteristics of the power supply system (PSS) of a port complex is done in order to identify measures to improve the operating modes. In general, the features and requirements for the power supply and electrical equipment of the site are presented and the main energy parameters of the main consumers are marked. A theoretical formulation of the study has been synthesized, giving the opportunity to make an analysis of the characteristic coefficients of energy consumption and the additional power losses from the unevenness of the load schedule. A total of seven power substations and 11 outputs were examined and the measurements were performed with professional network analyzers. The results are presented in tabular form and provide an opportunity to make a thorough analysis of the state of the PSS of the site. Based on them, technological solutions can be offered to rationalize the electricity supply and achieve savings in electricity.
