Abstract
We used the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method to investigate the droplet formation regime and its transition in a square microfluidic flow-focusing device. Droplet shape, size, and its formation frequency were examined in a three-dimensional numerical simulation. The results were evaluated through examination of the regimes of droplet formation and the formation of droplet of a given size as a function of different parameters. Comparison of the simulation results with preexisting experimental data from the literature showed good agreement, validating the VOF method.
Keywords

Abstract
The field of Bioengineering has provoked significant interest both as a theoretical approach towards a better understanding of living systems and as a compilation of applied methods for improved control over such systems. In the latter aspect, significant success has been achieved in decoding biological information formatted as genes and genomes, modeling of biological processes such as the metabolic conversion of matter and energy, design and engineering of novel biological parts like synthetic promoters and mutator devices, and, finally, development of novel types of bioprocess systems with improved control capability like microfluidics devices. In this work, we present the achievements of BioInfoTech Lab in all the above-mentioned applied areas and we elaborate on the future possibilities which the field of Bioengineering provides.

Abstract
In this work are proposed, researched, and analyzed structures, methods, and algorithms for designing of fractional DRC-, DRC. Clegg-, DRC.Clegg.Inverse- robust systems. For their development, inverse solutions of the synthesis problem were used using rational fractional operators from the theory of generalized fractional calculus. Their potential advantages are proven. Results of perturbation analysis for numerical examples are presented.

Abstract
As energy used in a home is increasing and renewable energy systems are deployed, so home energy management system (HEMS) requires both energy consumption and generation simultaneously to reduce the energy cost. One of the major attributes of the smart grid is to integrate renewable and storage energy resources at the consumption premises. This article presents the methods used in smart home control systems in the integration of renewable energy sources (RES), battery storage, and other electricity sources. The work also investigates the methods for optimization of the house’s consumption in case of integration of heat and cold sources including renewable heat generation (RES). Smart homes save energy and heat, which is why they are eco-friendly and can even be cheaper to live in. In near future the smart houses will present a significant part of the participants at the energy markets, so the optimization methods investigation having economical parameters is also in the scope of this investigation.
Keywords
smart house, renewable energy sources, demand response, optimal control of energy systems.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present basic hardware components of a flexible assembly system (FAS) and discuss its characteristics, classify the systems and describe a real application. The FAS-200 system offers professional training according to the industrial reality, simulating a real assembly process and including different technologies from Industry 4.0. This system consists of an automated flexible assembly cell with five different stages: assembly, handling, quality inspection, transfer, and warehouse. The FAS-200 system is the ideal answer to research and training in industrial automation. It is fully modular and flexible equipment and in keeping with industrial reality. The technologies included in its different assembly modules, as well as the assembly process with several variants, allow the user to develop the professional skills required by the modern automated industry.

Abstract
carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that is lighter than air; it can cause symptoms of poisoning to vary degrees, which can lead to serious consequences. The aim of the report is to develop a system for measuring the concentration of carbon monoxide and smoke. An electrochemical sensor MQ-2 and an Arduino platform were used for the development of the system. A series of experiments were performed to test the system – in the city park, in underground parking, garage, indoor. The obtained results are analyzed.
Keywords
carbon monoxide, MQ-2, Arduino Uno.

Abstract
The Examination of Load Profiles is a powerful method for specifying problematic loads in installations. The examiner's experience plays a significant role in reaching the proper conclusions and deciding the next actions to mitigate negative effects, disconnection, replacing, or removal of the problematic loads. Usually, an examiner gains experience over time as they encounter various cases throughout their career. A way to expedite the process of obtaining a better experience is by sharing and studying complex cases documented by other experts from the engineering community. The present paper aims to share an experience of analysis of load profiles of a client with very dynamic own loads, additional external consumption out of his own premises and installed PV generation for internal needs only.
