Model-Based Design. Creation of a reliable model, using the example of an aircraft heat exchanger

“If you read the inscription “buffalo” on an elephant’s cage, don’t believe your eyes” Kozma Prutkov In the previous article about model-based design, it was shown why an object model is needed, and it was proven that without this object model one can only talk about model based design as about a marketing blizzard, senseless and merciless. But when a model of an object appears, competent engineers always […]

Automatic verification of TOR requirements in the process of dynamic simulation

Continuing the topic “What is your evidence?”, let’s look at the problem of mathematical modeling from the other side. After we are convinced that the model corresponds to the homespun truth of life, we can answer the main question: “what, exactly, do we have here?” When creating a model of a technical object, we usually want to make sure that this object will meet our expectations. This is why […]

Write, don't cut. What I began to miss in the publications of Habr

Avoid value judgments! We split up the proposals. We throw away unnecessary things. We don't pour water. Data. Numbers. And without emotions. The “information” style, sleek and smooth, has completely taken over technical portals. Hello postmodern, our author is now dead. Already for real. For those who don't know. Information style is a series of editing techniques when any text should turn out to be a strong text. Easy to read, […]

The TFC project has developed a USB splitter for a messenger of 3 computers

The TFC (Tinfoil Chat) project proposed a hardware device with 3 USB ports to connect 3 computers and create a paranoid-protected messaging system. The first computer acts as a gateway for connecting to the network and launching the Tor hidden service; it manipulates already encrypted data. The second computer has the decryption keys and is used only to decrypt and display received messages. The third computer […]

AMA with Habr #16: rating recalculation and bug fixes

Not everyone had time to take out the Christmas tree yet, but the last Friday of the shortest month—January—has already arrived.

Today in the program - a little about interface changes and traditional […]

Product Management Digest for December and January

After all, December and January are the time to sum up and set goals for the year, quarter, as in an organization […]

Profession: system administrator

Often from the older generation we hear magic words about “the only entry in the work book.” Indeed, I have come across absolutely amazing stories: a mechanic - a mechanic of the highest category - a workshop foreman - a shift supervisor - a chief engineer - a plant director. This cannot but impress our generation, which changes jobs once, twice, whatever - sometimes […]
