Article presents description of proposed variant of solution: initial conditions of a problem, investigations performed (place, main data on a subject of investigation), main point of a proposed way of solution, methods (observation, experiment, simulation, calculation, development, construction, designing, manufacturing, method of controlling etc.), Engineering ways of implementation, experimental verification. Evaluation of proposed solution (novelty of results obtained): special features of proposed way of solution (advantages over analogues, equivalent results, obvious and assuming disadvantages), information on authors’ certificate of recognition and patents, economic and technological evaluation of implementation. Results should be presented in graphics, diagrams and tables.
