This article shows the method and results of experimental RESEARCHES of machines for egg sorting into categories based on size and form using a vision system. The principal difference of the considered machine for automatic sorting of eggs into categories from existing sorting machines is the division of eggs into categories by size and the separation of substandard eggs in the flow. Experimental verification showed that the machine provides the division of eggs in size into four categories and the separation of eggs of irregular shapes and sizes in the flow. The accuracy of separation of eggs into categories depending on the performance. With a productivity of up to two eggs per second, the accuracy of egg separation averages 94.8%., With a productivity of three eggs per second was 87.4%.

High-speed crafts’ reliability as well as its passenger’s comfort and safety are closely related to the craft’s dynamics on sea waves. The resultant dynamics are governed by the quality of the motion control system and its capacity for quality kinematic data acquisition. Herein, we propose a novel method for determining accelerometers’ mounting positions within a hydrofoil ship. This method eliminates interference from the output of accelerometers and provides the capability of determining the amplification coefficients of the second derivative with respect to the height of the ship’s motion.

The article discusses the basic parameters that characterize a given project as an innovative design and technical solutions as an innovation.The requirements are analyzed for innovation in applied science projects and their ability to be efficient and competitive. Studied the conditions and opportunities for impact of these indicators on the economic result of many downstream enterprises. An attempt was made to determine the degree of innovation impact, which serves as a basis for assessing the design decisions. The following are findings with recommendations for the use of this method of evaluation.
