“…Ensuring that sociological research would not impinge theoretically on the territory of Marxism-Leninism, official institutions--the CPSU and the Soviet Academy of Sciences--endorsed "concrete sociology" designed to provide planners with information about the people's work habits, lifestyles, and media consumption. The Academy of Sciences founded the Soviet Sociological Association in 1960 and a year later sociological studies were being conducted in Moscow, Leningrad, Sverdlovsk and the Moldavian Socialist Republic (Osipov 2009). Estonia became a locus of sociological work in the USSR partly because of its proximity to St. Petersburg's Sociological Laboratory and the Faculty of Philosophy, where many prominent Estonian researchers were educated.…”

This article looks at how the discourse of an emerging information society in 1990s Estonia both rejected and depended on expertise from the Soviet Period. It traces the influence 1960s-trained cyberneticians and sociologists had on expanding the concept of an information society in the 1990s, to encompass issues such as regional inequality, national culture, and poverty, instead of focusing solely on hardware purchasing and telecomms liberalization. This process was both enabled and occluded through "rupture-talk,” a rhetorical strategy emphasizing the novelty of digital infrastructure development compared to the Soviet past. The article argues that a shared belief in the power of information processing for both empowering and containing civil society enabled ideologically divergent actors to work together. The resulting vision diverged from neoliberal visions of information societies in hitherto unacknowledged ways.

“…-The theoretical performance of the gear pump (kinematic fluid supply) was determined. Such a supply is characterized by nonuniformity due to the cyclic supply of each gear tooth with mutual coverage of the opposite gear teeth [1,2,8,9]; -Hydraulic fluid leakage from the high-pressure cavity to the fluid inlet through gaps and surface roughness was determined [1,2,5,[8][9][10]; -The effect of reverse hydraulic impact from the pump outlet manifold into the tooth/sub-plunger space was determined. The impact magnitude is determined by the pressure level in the outlet manifold, the dynamic properties of the outlet manifold, the volume of the tooth/sub-plunger space and the pressure level in the tooth cavity or under the plunger at the moment of juncture with the outlet pressure manifold [1,2,4]; -…”

External gear pumps are among the most popular fluid power positive displacement pumps; however, they often suffer from excessive flow pulsation transmitted to the downstream circuit. To meet the increasing demand of quiet operation for modern fluid power systems, it is necessary to give a physically sound method of analyzing the operation of a volumetric pump. The analysis of the basic approach used by the majority of researchers for calculating the flow rate of a gear pump by E.M. Yudin is presented. The article presents a new method for analyzing the operation of volumetric pumps. The method is suitable for the pumps whose dynamic characteristics should be considered according to the model of an equivalent source of flow fluctuations by V.P. Shorin. The method is based on wave theory, the method of hydrodynamic analogies and the impedance method, where the pump is considered according to the model in lumped parameters. The method consists in determining the pressure pulsations at the pump output in bench systems with known dynamic characteristics and recalculating the pump flow rate in pulsations. Computational dynamic models of bench systems in lumped parameters are proposed for subsequent use in dynamic tests of pumps in the form of equivalent sources of fluid flow fluctuations. We give recommendations for the formation of test bench systems with a throttle, a cavity and a pipeline at the pump output. Using the example of an external gear pump with a working volume of 14 cm3/rev, the implementation of the proposed method is considered. The pump’s own pulsation characteristic of the flow rate in a bench system with an “infinitely long” pipeline along two harmonic components of the spectrum is determined, and a test of the method based on the method of determining the instantaneous flow rate by R.N. Starobinskiy is proposed. It is shown that, according to the proposed method and the method of R.N. Starobinskiy, the divergence of the amplitudes of flow pulsations does not exceed (5–10)%. The high degree of coincidence of the results confirms that the external gear pump in question should be considered according to the equivalent source of flow fluctuations model.
