Delineating three-dimensional behavior of uveal melanoma cells under anchorage independent or dependent conditions

BackgroundAlthough rare, uveal melanoma (UM) is a life-threatening malignancy. Understanding its biology is necessary to improve disease outcome. Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro culture methods have emerged as tools that incorporate physical and spatial cues that better mimic tumor biology and in turn deliver more predictive preclinical data. Herein, we comprehensively characterize UM cells under different 3D culture settings as a suitable model to study tumor cell behavior and therapeutic intervention.MethodsSix UM cell lines were tested in two-dimensional (2D) and 3D-culture conditions. For 3D cultures, we used anchorage-dependent (AD) methods where cells were embedded or seeded on top of basement membrane extracts and anchorage-free (AF) methods where cells were seeded on agarose pre-coated plates, ultra-low attachment plates, and on hanging drops, with or without methylcellulose. Cultures were analyzed for multicellular tumor structures (MCTs) development by phase contrast and confocal imaging, and cell wellbeing was assessed based on viability, membrane integrity, vitality, apoptotic features, and DNA synthesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production was evaluated under hypoxic conditions for cell function analysis.ResultsUM cells cultured following anchorage-free methods developed MCTs shaped as spheres. Regardless of their sizes and degree of compaction, these spheres displayed an outer ring of viable and proliferating cells, and a core with less proliferating and apoptotic cells. In contrast, UM cells maintained under anchorage-dependent conditions established several morphological adaptations. Some remained isolated and rounded, formed multi-size irregular aggregates, or adopted a 2D-like flat appearance. These cells invariably conserved their metabolic activity and conserved melanocytic markers (i.e., expression of Melan A/Mart-1 and HMB45). Notably, under hypoxia, cells maintained under 3D conditions secrete more VEGF compared to cells cultured under 2D conditions.ConclusionsUnder an anchorage-free environment, UM cells form sphere-like MCTs that acquire attributes reminiscent of abnormal vascularized solid tumors. UM cells behavior in anchorage-dependent manner exposed diverse cells populations in response to cues from an enriched extracellular matrix proteins (ECM) environment, highlighting the plasticity of UM cells. This study provides a 3D cell culture platform that is more predictive of the biology of UM. The integration of such platforms to explore mechanisms of ECM-mediated tumor resistance, metastatic abilities, and to test novel therapeutics (i.e., anti-angiogenics and immunomodulators) would benefit UM care.

Nonlinear Dynamic Properties of Rigid–Elastic–Liquid Coupled Ball Bearings Considering External Load Excitation

In this study, a novel dynamic model of a ball bearing based on rigid–elastic–liquid (REL) coupling structure considering external load excitation is established, and the dynamic response of its outer ring under external load excitation is examined. First, the differential equation of the journal motion (i.e. the outer ring) is derived based on Newton’s law, and the oil film force induced by the REL coupling structure is determined by using the central finite difference method, planar bending theory of thin ring, and Simpson’s rule. Further, the fourth and fifth-order variable step length Runge–Kutta method is used to solve the kinematic differential equation. Second, the dynamic characteristics of the outer ring of the bearing under different speeds and elastic support structural parameters are examined. Finally, the feasibility of the theoretical model is verified through experiments. The results show that compared with the traditional squeeze film damper (SFD) system, the ball bearing with REL coupling structure is more stable, and the vibration damping effect is better under higher bearing speed, lower squirrel cage stiffness, and smaller elastic ring flexibility coefficient. The above findings provide useful insights into the dynamic characteristics of REL coupled ball bearings under unbalanced excitation, which can serve as a reference for the optimization design of such ball bearings.

18F-FDG PET/CT in Cystic Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.

A 52-year-old woman was evaluated for the appearance of a neck lump and dysphonia. Neck ultrasonography showed a large cystic nodule in the right thyroid lobe, confirmed by fine-needle aspiration cytology. Thyroid function and calcitonin were normal. 18F-FDG PET/TC showed moderate tracer uptake by the outer ring of the large hypodense formation. Right hemithyroidectomy was performed; since intraoperative histology showed an intracystic and invasive papillary thyroid carcinoma, a completion thyroidectomy was done. Definitive histopathology confirmed the intraoperative findings. 18F-FDG PET/CT may be a useful imaging procedure in evaluating patients with cystic thyroid nodules whenever clinical/ultrasonographic features are suspicious for malignancy.

Test Method for Rapid Prediction of Steady-State Temperature of Outer Rings of Bearings under Grease Lubrication Conditions

Temperature has a great influence on the stability of bearing performance. For the study of bearing steady-state temperature, this paper proposes a test method to quickly predict the steady-state temperature of the outer ring of a bearing, which solves the problems in traditional theoretical calculations and simulation analysis methods such as the large number of calculations, complex models, and large errors. Firstly, a mathematical prediction model is established according to the bearing temperature-rise law; then, a bearing steady-state temperature detection device is designed; and finally, the prediction model parameters are solved according to the experimental results, and experimental verification is carried out. It is shown that the prediction model has high accuracy under different load and speed conditions, and the error between the predicted steady-state temperature and the tested steady-state temperature is less than 0.7 °C. This prediction method reduces the single test time of the same speed to 60 min, which greatly improves the efficiency of the temperature detection test. The steady-state temperature model has important theoretical significance in guiding the study of the limiting speed of bearings.

Constraints on PDS 70 b and c from the dust continuum emission of the circumplanetary discs considering in situ dust evolution

The young T Tauri star PDS 70 has two gas accreting planets sharing one large gap in a pre-transitional disc. Dust continuum emission from PDS 70 c has been detected by Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 7, considered as the evidence of a circumplanetary disc. However, there has been no detection of the dust emission from the CPD of PDS 70 b. We constrain the planet mass and the gas accretion rate of the planets by introducing a model of dust evolution in the CPDs and reproducing the detection and non-detection of the dust emission. We first develop a 1D steady gas disc model of the CPDs reflecting the planet properties. We then calculate the radial distribution of the dust profiles considering the dust evolution in the gas disc and calculate the total flux density of dust thermal emission from the CPDs. We find positive correlations between the flux density of dust emission and three planet properties, the planet mass, gas accretion rate, and their product called `MMdot'. We then find that the MMdot of PDS 70 c is $ M_ J yr $, corresponding to the planet mass of $ J $ and the gas accretion rate of $ M_ J yr $. This is the first case to succeed in obtaining constraints on planet properties from the flux density of dust continuum emission from a CPD. We also find some loose constraints on the properties of PDS 70 b from the non-detection of its dust emission. We propose possible scenarios for PDS 70 b and c explaining the non-detection respectively detection of the dust emission from their CPDs. The first explanation is that planet c has larger planet mass, larger gas accretion rate, or both than planet b. The other possibility is that the CPD of planet c has a larger amount of dust supply, weaker turbulence, or both than that of planet b. If the dust supply to planet c is larger than b due to its closeness to the outer dust ring, it is also quantitatively consistent with that planet c has weaker Halpha line emission than planet b considering the dust extinction effect.

Patterns of Progression of Nonproliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Using Non-Invasive Imaging.

To identify progression of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) in patients with type 2 diabetes by combining optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) metrics and color fundus photography (CFP) images. This study was a post hoc analysis of a prospective longitudinal cohort study (CORDIS, NCT03696810) with 2-year duration. This study enrolled 122 eyes. Ophthalmological examinations included OCTA and CFP. OCTA metrics included skeletonized vessel density (SVD) and perfusion density (PD) at the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP). Microaneurysm turnover analysis and Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) grading for diabetic retinopathy (DR) severity assessment were performed on 7-field CFP. Eyes graded as ETDRS level 20 showed significant capillary nonperfusion predominantly in the inner ring area in the SCP (P < 0.001), whereas eyes graded as ETDRS level 35 and ETDRS levels 43 and 47 showed significant capillary nonperfusion in both the SCP and DCP in both inner and outer rings (P < 0.001). When evaluating rates of progression in capillary nonperfusion for the 2-year period of follow-up, changes were found predominantly in the DCP for SVD and PD and were better identified in the outer ring area. Microaneurysm turnover contributes to the characterization of NPDR progression by discriminating ETDRS level 35 from ETDRS levels 43 and 47 (P < 0.001), which could not be achieved using only OCTA metrics. Patterns of progression of NPDR can be identified combining OCTA examinations of the superficial and deep retinal capillary plexi of central retina and determination of microaneurysm turnover from fundus photographs. Our study reports results from a registered clinical trial that advances understanding of disease progression in NPDR.

Gravitational disturbance on asteroidal ring systems by close encounter with a small object

To date, rings are found around a Centaur (10199) Chariklo, trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) (136108) Haumea, and (50000) Quaoar. These discoveries suggest that asteroidal ring systems may be common, particularly in the outer solar system. Since collisions are a ubiquitous and fundamental evolutionary process throughout the solar system, we conjecture that asteroidal ring systems must experience close encounters with small objects as part of their evolutionary process. Here, we investigate the response of ring systems when they experience gravitational disturbance by a close encounter with another small object, by calculating the change in eccentricity and the fraction of lost ring particles. We find that a perturber needs to be as massive as or more massive than the ringed object, and needs to pass in the immediate vicinity of the ring in order to cause significant disruption. The change in eccentricity expected for Chariklo's inner ring and Quaoar's outer ring agrees with the analytical expression derived from the impulse approximation, while that for Haumea's ring agrees with the analytical expression called “exponential regime”. If we define a lifetime of a ring as the mean time to experience disruptive close encounters that can raise the eccentricity of ring particles >0.1, the lifetime for ring systems around Chariklo, Haumea, and Quaoar are >104 Gyr. We conclude that ring systems around Chariklo, Haumea, and Quaoar are highly unlikely to suffer from close encounters with another small object even if those systems are as old as 4 Gyr. Close encounter with a small object may not be responsible for the finite eccentricity observed for Chariklo's ring system, although eccentricity of ring particles could be increased to ~10−4 in 4 Gyr. We also found that the lifetime is shorter for smaller ringed objects, and it still exceeds 4 Gyr for km-sized ringed objects in the outer solar system. Therefore, regardless of the size of ringed objects, asteroidal ring systems in the outer solar system are unlikely to suffer severe damage by close encounter with a small object. On the other hand, the lifetime is estimated to be on the order of 100 Myr for km-sized asteroids and 10 Myr for 100 m-sized asteroids in the near-Earth region and the main belt. This finding offers a dynamical explanation why ring systems have not been found in the inner solar system.

Forming localized dust concentrations in a dust ring: DM Tau case study

Context. Previous high-angular-resolution 225 GHz (~1.3 mm) continuum observations of the transitional disk DM Tau have resolved an outer ring at 20–120 au radii that is weakly azimuthally asymmetric. Aims. We aim to examine dust growth and filtration in the outer ring of DM Tau. Methods. We performed ~0″.06 (~8.7 au) resolution Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) 40–48 GHz (~7 mm; Q band) continuum observations, along with complementary observations at lower frequencies. In addition, we analyzed the archival JVLA observations undertaken since 2010. Results. Intriguingly, the Q band image resolved the azimuthally highly asymmetric, knotty dust emission sources close to the inner edge of the outer ring. Fitting the 8–700 GHz spectral energy distribution (SED) with two dust components indicates that the maximum grain size (amax) in these knotty dust emission sources is likely ≳300 µm, whereas it is ≳50 µm in the rest of the ring. These results may be explained by a trapping of inwardly migrating “grown” dust close to the ring inner edge. The exact mechanism for developing the azimuthal asymmetry has not yet been identified, which may be due to planet-disk interaction that might also be responsible for the creation of the dust cavity and pressure bump. Otherwise, it may be due to the fluid instabilities and vortex formation as a result of shear motions. Finally, we remark that the asymmetries in DM Tau are difficult to diagnose from the ≳225 GHz observations, owing to a high optical depth at the ring. In other words, the apparent symmetric or asymmetric morphology of the transitional disks may be related to the optical depths of those disks at the observing frequency.

Oil-Air Distribution Prediction Inside Ball Bearing with Under-Race Lubrication Based on Numerical Simulation

Oil/air two-phase flow distribution in the bearings is the basis for bearing lubrication status identification and precise thermal analysis of the bearing. In order to understand the fluid behavior inside the under-race lubrication ball bearing and obtain an accurate oil volume fraction prediction model. A numerical study of ball bearing with under-race lubrication is carried out to study oil-gas two-phase distribution inside the bearing, and the influence of several parameters is quantified, like bearing rotating speed, oil flow rate, oil viscosity, and oil density. The results indicate that the oil fraction in the bearing cavity between the inner and outer ring shows a periodic distribution along the circumference direction, and the period is the same as the number of under-race oil supply holes. Oil distribution alone radial direction is affected by the outer-ring-guiding cage and centrifugal force, leading to oil accumulation near the outer ring. Different bearing running conditions and oil characteristics do not change the oil distribution trend alone in circumference and radial direction, but the difference ratio. Finally, based on the numerical simulation results, a formula for the average oil volume fraction prediction in the bearing ring cavity is constructed.

Evaluating the Impact of Geometric Dimensions of a Multi-Split Ring Resonator

In this paper, a metamaterial unit cell is designed and simulated based on the concept of multiple split-ring resonators (SRRs) in a compact size. The presented nested modified SRR resonator construct has the advantage of achieving more usable split gaps by increasing capacitance, resulting in a lower operational resonance frequency and improved sensitivity over typical SRR metamaterials. The impact of several split ring resonator geometric characteristics, such as the gap space, the width of the copper lines, the inner rings length, and the outer ring length on magnetic permeability and permittivity was analyzed. The modified metamaterial can be utilized for 5G mobile applications.

Multi-objective optimization study on the performance of double Darrieus hybrid vertical axis wind turbine based on DOE-RSM and MOPSO-MODM

In this study, the multi-objective optimization method is constructed for DD-VAWT. The optimization objective is to enhance the power coefficient as well as reduce the maximum instantaneous torque coefficient, while decision variables include the inner ring wind turbine diameter, inner ring wind turbine height, inner ring wind turbine blade airfoil chord length and inner and outer ring wind turbine phase angle. Firstly, the computational fluid hydrodynamics model of DD-VAWT is established and validated by experimental data from the literature. Then, the regression model between critical structural parameters and power coefficients, maximum instantaneous torque coefficients is constructed using response surface analysis. Finally, the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to optimize the objective and the optimal solution is selected from the Pareto frontier solution. This work provides a direction to improve the operating performance of DD-VAWT at low tip speed ratios as well as contributes to energy saving and emission reduction.

Vibration-Based Detection of Axlebox Bearing Considering Inner and Outer Ring Raceway Defects

The occurrence of an axlebox bearing ring raceway defect is an inevitable and commonly observed phenomenon in railway wheels. It not only leads to surface damage but also poses the potential threat of further damage and degradation, thereby increasing the risks associated with running safety and maintenance costs. Hence, it becomes imperative to detect raceway defects at an early stage to mitigate safety hazards and reduce maintenance efforts. In this study, the focus lies in investigating the effectiveness of vibration-based detection techniques for identifying raceway defects in high-speed train axlebox bearing systems. To achieve this, a dynamic model that accurately represents the coupling dynamics between the vehicle and the track is developed. This model incorporates various dynamic factors, such as traction transmission, gear transmission, and track geometry irregularities. By using the comprehensive dynamic model, the dynamic responses of the axlebox can be accurately calculated. The proposed methodology primarily revolves around analysing the vertical vibrations of the axlebox caused by raceway defects in both the time and frequency domains. Additionally, an envelope analysis using a developed band-pass filter is also employed. The results obtained from this study clearly demonstrate the successful detection of raceway defects in a more realistic vehicle model, thereby providing an efficient approach for the detection of axlebox bearing raceway defects. Consequently, this research contributes significantly to the field of high-speed train systems and paves the way for enhanced safety and maintenance practices.

Theoretical Study on The Effect of Metal Ions on The Structural Properties of Base

Metal ions play an important role in living organisms, for example Mg2+ is a cofactor for many biological enzymes (including DNA and RNA synthesis), Ca2+ is an important component of bone composition, and metal ions such as Fe, Co, Zn, Ni and Cu also play an important role in the normal functioning of living organisms. One of the main targets of metal ions in living organisms is deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which is an important carrier of information stored and transmitted by organisms. The direct interaction between DNA base pairs and metal ions have a significant impact on the structure and function of DNA base pairs, which is demonstrated as following: the binding of metals to bases usually breaks the hydrogen bonds of the base pairs. The N7 atom of a purine residue or the N3 atom of a pyrimidine residue, as well as the outer ring O atom and the phosphate oxygen atom, are the preferred sites for metal binding. The binding of metals to DNA and RNA also indirectly affects the conformation of the sugar ring. REDOX active metal ions have the ability to bind to DNA and can mediate oxidative DNA damage by reacting with endogenous oxidants. According to studies of antioxidants in the field of metal-mediated oxidative DNA damage, metal ion coordination also plays a key role in the mechanism of some antioxidants. Also, metal-DNA interactions are the basis for many anti-cancer drugs, anti-viral drugs and anti-bacterial agents. Metal-mediated oxidative DNA damage is associated with a variety of diseases and conditions, and understanding the binding interactions and subsequent reactivity can facilitate the management or prevention of oxidative damage. It can be seen that the study of the effect of metal ions on the structural properties of DNA bases has far-reaching implications, providing a theoretical basis for the development of novel anticancer drugs, DNA-based metal nanodevice technologies and the fabrication of spectroscopic and reactive probes.

ВПЛИВ УМОВ РОБОТИ НА ТЕМПЕРАТУРНИЙ РЕЖИМ ПІДШИПНИКІВ З МЕТАЛЕВИМИ ТА КЕРАМІЧНИМИ КУЛЬКАМИ

The results of an experimental study of the temperature mode of operation of rolling bearings under different lubrication conditions are presented. Comparative tests of all-metal bearings and similar bearings with rolling elements made of silicon nitride (hybrid bearings) when lubricated with an oil jet and an oil-air mixture in the range of rotor rotation frequencies from 0 to 35000 rpm were carried out. For the experiments, a specially created set was used, which allows you to study the temperature of the bearings and the temperature of the lubricant at the entrance and exit from the bearings. The axial load on the bearings was created with the help of a compression spring, which rested on the outer rings of the bearings. This made it possible to close the load inside the system. During the tests, the load was 0 N, 1000 N, and 2000 N. Tests were carried out for two modes of bearing lubrication: oil jet and oil-air mixture. The method of measuring the temperature of the outer ring of bearings is described. The temperature measurement error was considered as a complex of instrumental error and method error. It was assumed that the temperature error is subject to a normal distribution. The conducted analysis showed that the error of measuring the temperature of the bearing ring was ± 2.8 °C with a confidence probability of 95 %. It has been established that bearings with ceramic balls in the entire studied range behave qualitatively and quantitatively in approximately the same way as with steel ones. The temperature level of hybrid bearings is slightly higher when lubricated with both an oil jet and an oil-air mixture. There is a clear connection between the values of the bearing temperature and the moment of resistance in the bearing: the increase in temperature is observed under the same conditions under which the moment of resistance increases.

Gear-Shaped High-g Combustion Chamber for Micro Turbojet Engine Applications.

Enhancing combustion efficiency and optimizing the thrust-to-weight ratio are critical technical challenges encountered in the development, application, and growth of micro turbojet engines. The high-centrifugal (high-g) combustion chamber, as an innovative combustion chamber system, has the capability to replace the primary combustion chamber of the traditional turbojet engine, reducing the length of the combustion chamber while maintaining engine performance. Previous studies on the structure of the high-g combustor (HGC) have shown problems such as uneven temperature distribution of the turbojet rotor. To improve the feasibility of HGC integration into micro turbojet engines, this study conducts relevant experiments on a 120 N thrust engine. Subsequently, the results of these experiments were used to analyze the structural design of HGC through a simulation approach. Including six main configurations, the first four structural designs focused on establishing a suitable highly centrifugal environment to stabilize and improve the combustion performance, which was successfully achieved by designing the outer ring gear-shaped inlet with four different angles. Subsequent structural designs were based around improving the uniformity of the temperature distribution at the combustion chamber outlet. The final design of the HGC combustion efficiency is not much different from the original combustion chamber, and it can shorten the axial length of the combustion chamber by nearly 30%. The design of the air inlet holes and the baffle plate effectively improves the temperature uniformity at the outlet of the combustion chamber. Moreover, without changing the combustion chamber material, the corresponding engine weight can be reduced by about 10.7%, and the engine thrust-to-weight ratio can be improved by up to 12% with the same thrust, which provides design ideas for further lightweight applications.

Analysis and optimization of stamping and forming process of bearing outer ring

To address the common issues of wrinkling, tearing, and uneven wall thickness in the actual sheet metal stamping process of the outer ring of needle roller bearings, this study analyzes critical technical indicators such as forming limits, thickness distribution, and principal strains in the forming process in detail. Three-dimensional models of the concave and convex dies were constructed. The effects of different process parameters, including stamping speed, edge pressure, sheet metal thickness, and friction coefficient, on the quality of the forming parts were investigated by varying these parameters. Subsequently, the orthogonal experimental method was used to determine an optimal experimental group from multiple sets of experiments. It was found that under the process parameters of a stamping speed of 3000 mm/s, edge pressure of 2000 N, sheet metal thickness of 0.9 mm, and friction coefficient of 0.125, the forming quality of the outer ring of the bearing is ideal.

Ice-Core Micro-CT Image Segmentation with Dual Stream Spectrum Deconvolution Neural Network and Gaussian Mixture Model

Polar ice sheets, or ice cores, are among the most well-known natural archives that might provide crucial historical details about our planet's previous environment. An important factor in establishing the fundamental characteristics of ice, likes pore close-off, albedo, melt events, is the ice-core microstructure. To engulf these complications Ice-Core Micro-CT Image Segmentation with Dual Stream Spectrum Deconvolution Neural Network and Gaussian Mixture Model (ICMCTS-WSOA-DSSDNN-GMM)is proposed. Initially, micro scale CT images are collect from Alfred Wegener Institute ice-core storage as input. Then,data’s are given to pre-processing. In pre-processing, it enhance image brightness, remove salt pepper noise, crop outer ring (carbon fiber casing) to have only ice particles in image utilizing Federated Neural Collaborative Filtering (FNCF).The pre-processing output is given to segmentation. Here, micro scale CT image is utilized for segmenting high-resolution scans using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). After that, the segmented images are given to Dual Stream Spectrum Deconvolution Neural Network optimized with Water Strider Optimization Algorithm for classifying micro scale CT images as sintered snow, compacted firn and bubbly ice. The proposed ICMCTS-WSOA-DSSDNN-GMM method is executed in python. The performance of ICMCTS-WSOA-DSSDNN-GMM approach attains 16.24%, 17.90% and 27.7% high accuracy, 14.04%, 25.51% and 19.31% higher precision and 14.36%, 12.65%, 14.51% higher recall analyzed with existing techniques likes Ice-Core Micro-CT Image Segmentation With Deep Learning and Gaussian Mixture Method (ICMCTS-U-net-GMM), Computer Aided Detection of COVID 19 from CT Images Depend on Gaussian Mixture Method with Kernel Support Vector Machines Classifer (ICMCTS-KNN-GMM) and the Gmmseg: Gaussian mixture based generative semantic segmentation methods(ICMCTS-FCN-GMM) respectively.

Анализ остаточной намагниченности наружных колец подшипников буксового узла колесной пары при их размагничивании на установке УМДП-01

Objective: to compare the readings of the residual magnetization of the outer ring of the bearing with its different orientation with respect to the magnetizing field on the example of the UMDP-01 installation. To show in practice the inefficiency of using the technology of demagnetization of the outer rings of the bearings of axle boxes when they are located in a horizontal plane. Methods: comparison of the obtained values of the residual magnetization by direct measurements during demagnetization of the outer rings in the horizontal and vertical planes with respect to the magnetic field. In practice, the same conditions for magnetization and demagnetization of the same outer ring were observed by passing a pulsed current through the solenoid and the contact rod in the magnetization mode and gradually reducing the alternating current in the solenoid for the demagnetization mode. Results: the experiment showed that the values of the residual magnetization of the outer ring during the full cycle of its demagnetization in the horizontal plane on the UMDP-01 installation are higher than when it is demagnetized in the vertical plane. The vertical placement of the ring in the center of the solenoid allowed it to be demagnetized from the first time in position A with an incomplete demagnetization cycle. Practical significance: the article shows that the technology of demagnetization of bearing rings in the horizontal plane, as required by the operating manual 9402.00.000 RE, often leads to a violation of the requirements of regulatory documents in terms of permissible values of residual magnetization. Demagnetization of the outer rings in the vertical plane will lead to full satisfaction of the requirements of regulatory documents, increase the productivity of magnetic powder control in general by reducing the demagnetization cycle and simplifying technological transitions associated with the complexity of installing the object of control in the horizontal plane.
