One possible approach to the solution of questions of metrological assurance of complex measurement and control systems is
set forth. A systems approach to the solution of the problem is proposed in order to eliminate the redundancy of state control
in the operation of such systems and reduce the costs and period needed for placing such facilities into operation, especially
at potentially hazardous industrial facilities. It is recommended that the CIPM MRA Contract signed in Paris in 1999 be used
for facilities with foreign involvement.

It is shown experimentally that the thermal conductivity of DE-24 graphite under steady thermal conditions when using an electric
current as the heat source cannot be determined at a temperature higher than 3300 K. It is established that this temperature
limit is due to spontaneous breakdown of the steady thermal operating conditions, which is expressed as an increase with time
of the internal surface temperature and the mean value of the electric power assigned to the high-temperature isothermal part
of the hollow cylindrical sample.

It is shown that when estimating the positional accuracy of axial drives in automatically controlled machines, the accumulated
and periodic components along a single axis can be estimated separately. Analysis of a circular path along two coordinates
makes it possible to determine 17 of the most important machine parameters, including the clearances along each axis, lateral
clearances, desynchronization of the drive speeds, off-perpendicular deviations of the axes, and off-parallelism along each
axis.

Equipment and results of an investigation of the resistivity of zirconium and tantalum carbides in the solid and liquid states
as a function of the specific energy employed are described. Estimates of the heat of fusion of the carbides are given. The
investigation is carried out using pulsed electric heating of samples cut out of massive blocks, and film samples deposited
on a substrate.

A method for estimating a measured quantity from highly discrete observations and the results of a comparative study are described
in detail. Comparison tables listing shifts and mean square errors for the sample mean, maximum likelihood estimates, and
a proposed Pittman-type estimate are given.

The problem of computer aided design and fabrication of means of measurement for effective technological preparation of machine-building
manufacture under rapidly varying production conditions is examined. The operating principles, algorithm content, choice of
structural elements of designed pieces, and data storage and output structure for computer aided design and fabrication of
measuring instruments are presented. Results from a practical application of this system to the production of machinery are
given.

The effect of covariances between the resistances of a standard platinum resistance thermometer when measuring temperature
and its resistances at fixed points in a calibration on the uncertainty of temperature measurement is shown. A procedure for
calculating the uncertainties, which enables any covariances that occur to be taken into account, is considered.

The use of a system approach to describe the properties of the International Temperature Scale (ITS-90) is proposed. A model
is presented which enables the error of the difference between the ITS-90 and the thermodynamic scale to be estimated. The
possibility of estimating the static chaos of the results of temperature measurements is considered.

Problems related to computerization and smart operation of universal and instrument measuring microscopes are examined. Methods
of increasing the sighting accuracy at prismatic and cylindrical edges of objects are proposed based on solving inverse problems
in mathematical optics. These algorithms can be used to measure prismatic and cylindrical objects with micrometer accuracy
without employing measuring blades.
