SLL Conf - Continuous Deployment
The document discusses continuous deployment at Wealthfront, an SEC-regulated investment management company. It notes that Wealthfront ships code to production 30+ times per day. This high deployment frequency aims to reduce risk, deploy product changes just-in-time, and foster a culture where all employees care about production quality. The document contrasts Wealthfront's 5-10 minute deployment timeline with traditional timelines of 2-8 weeks and emphasizes the importance of continuous deployment, test-driven development, continuous integration, and an "immune system" approach to monitoring systems.
#21 SUSB Expo 2014 Aerialtronics
This document discusses the real domain of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) and potential solutions for integrating them safely. The FAA regulates sUAS to operate below 500 feet to comply with minimum safe altitude restrictions. The document proposes using Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to monitor and communicate with sUAS, as ITS allows worldwide participation, defined standards, and communication with fast moving vehicles and structures up to 1,500 feet. It questions whether existing ITS infrastructure could accommodate integrating sUAS operations.

gene engelgau - 2018 Small Unmanned Systems Business Exposition
This document provides an overview of parachute recovery system (PRS) requirements for flying drones over people. It discusses that PRS systems can limit impact energy to less than 50 joules as recommended by FAA studies to minimize injury risk. The certification process requires flight testing a PRS integrated with a drone as a system. A PRS generally requires a parachute, deployment system, automatic trigger for problems, and a flight termination system to stop rotors upon deployment. Choosing the right PRS considers factors like weight, strength, deployment characteristics, and reliability through certification testing.

Patrick Egan, sUAS News
Over the past 23 years, regulations for integrating small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) into the national airspace system (NAS) have progressed through studies on visual acuity, kinetic energy risks, and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations. While the 2012 FAA Reauthorization Bill and 2014 NTSB ruling moved integration forward, full regulatory approval for commercial BVLOS operations is still years away. Business operators are advised to consult legal teams and liability insurers to ensure plan compliance as technology like sUAS continues converging across industries.
Austin Jensen, AggieAir
This document discusses a remote sensing unmanned aerial system (UAS) designed for scientific applications. The UAS can launch and land from anywhere, flies fully autonomously, and collects visual, near-infrared, and thermal data to support science and natural resource management. Specifically, it aims to map nitrogen levels in crops 5 weeks after germination and during flowering, as well as measure top and root zone soil moisture content. Its goals are to deliver timely, actionable information within 12 hours that covers a minimum of 2500 acres from an altitude of at least 1000 feet above ground level.
Claudia Spinnato, Panoptes
The document discusses using drones equipped with thermal and visible light cameras called mT-Panoptes to conduct inspections of solar farms. Some key points:
- mT-Panoptes can detect overheated panels and components using thermal imaging to find issues not visible to the naked eye.
- It uses both thermal and visible light cameras simultaneously to cross-reference findings and clarify observations.
- On-board software automatically geotags readings and generates a report mapping any anomalies detected, saving significant time over manual post-processing.
Dave Kroetsch, Aeryon
Dave Kroetsch presented on using small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) for infrastructure inspection. He discussed the challenges of power line inspection using manned aircraft or climbing towers, and how sUAS can overcome these challenges by maintaining a safe standoff distance while still providing high-resolution imagery. Examples were given of using Aeryon Labs' SkyRanger sUAS equipped with an HDZoom30 camera to inspect power lines from hundreds of feet away. The sUAS solution allows for safer, more efficient inspections compared to traditional methods.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
