1) The document analyzes the mechanical properties of SAC-Al(Ni) solder alloys with varying compositions of silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), and nickel (Ni).
2) Tests showed that adding Al and Ni can significantly reduce the yield strength of the alloys compared to SAC alloys without these additions. The addition of Al was found to be most effective at reducing yield strength at concentrations between 0.1-0.6%.
3) The addition of Al or Ni resulted in a decrease in elongation at break, indicating reduced ductility, but had little effect on tensile strength or modulus.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

A compliant and creep resistant sac al(ni) alloy - presentation
1. A Compliant and Creep
Resistant SAC-Al(Ni) Alloy
Dr. Benlih Huang, Dr. Hong-Sik Hwang,
and Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee
Indium Corporation of America
1
2. Background
• SAC solder with high Ag content needed for
thermal fatigue performance & for narrow pasty
range. IMC particles of Ag-Sn and Cu-Sn
responsible for the fatigue resistance.
• However, for high Ag SAC alloys, a greater
ductility is also desired for non-fragility.
• Addition of element which can reduce IMC
particles may improve the ductility.
2
3. Approaches
• Al reacts with both Ag and Cu, which
promises a reduction in the quantity of
Ag3Sn and Cu6Sn5, is a very capable
candidate.
• Adding Ni is reported to be beneficial, due
to its effect in suppressing the growth of
IMC scallop size and thickness on Cu.
3
4. Tests
• Tensile test
– The diameter and length of the cylinder central testing region is
0.125 inch and 2 inch, respectively.
– Crosshead speed - 0.2 inch/min.
– Yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elongation at break, and
modulus determined.
– 5-15 specimen used for each alloy.
• SEM & EDX for microstructure
• DSC
– 10°C/min heating & cooling, between -40 & 260 °C
– 2nd heating run used for comparison
• Creep test
– Two specimen used for each combination of alloy and stress
condition.

The weight ratio of Ag to Al is
about 6:1, and the weight ratio
of Cu to Al is about 3:1 here.
Therefore, at Al content of
0.96%, most of the Ag and Cu in
this alloy
Sn94.43Ag3.97Cu0.64Al0.96
will be drained from the solder
matrix and be associated with
Al.

The weight ratio of Ni to Cu is about 2.3:1. With
Ni concentration being 0.88%, the Cu
entrapped in the (Ni,Cu)3Sn4 is estimated to be
about 0.4%. In other words, Cu will be highly
depleted by Ni-Cu-Sn IMC formation. As a
result, the SAC matrix composition here is
expected to be greatly skewed toward near-
eutectic Sn-Ag structure.

SAC+Al (Sn94.43Ag3.97Cu0.64Al0.96), and SAC+Ni
(Sn94.49Ag3.99Cu0.64Ni0.88)
Ag and Cu in this SAC+Al alloy mostly
drained from the solder matrix and be
associated with Al. Thus, instead of
forming near-ternary-eutectic SAC
composition, it very likely forms near-
SnAg eutectic and near-Sn-Cu eutectic
structures, as suggested by the two peaks
observed in DSC.
Cu is virtually depleted from SAC+Ni due
to the formation of (Ni,Cu)3Sn4.
Consequently the copper-striped matrix
becomes near-eutectic SnAg structure.

increase in Al content
will drain more Ag

system. This in turn
causes a shift of

composition towards

eutectic SnAg and

22. Discussion
• Softening attributed to
– Large no. of small hard Ag3Sn converted into small
no. of large soft non-stoichiometric Ag-Al IMC
particles
– Reduction in Cu6Sn5 particles due to formation of
non-stoichiometric Al-Cu and large (Ni,Cu)3Sn4 IMC
particles
• Creep rate
– Non-stoichiometric IMC particle or large particle,
although less effective in increasing yield strength,
are considered still harder than Sn, therefore are
expected to provide resistance in creep.
22
23. Conclusion
• Addition of Al into SAC alloys reduces the number of hard Ag3Sn
and Cu6Sn5 IMC particles, and forms larger, softer non-
stoichiometric AlAg and AlCu particles. This results in a significant
reduction in yield strength, and also causes some moderate
increase in creep rate.
• For high Ag SAC alloys, adding Al 0.1-0.6% to SAC alloys is most
effective in softening, and brings the yield strength down to the level
of SAC105 and SAC1505, while the creep rate is still maintained at
SAC305 level.
• Addition of Ni results in formation of large (Ni,Cu)3Sn4 IMC particles
and loss of Cu6Sn5 particles. This also causes softening of SAC
alloys, although to a less extent than that of Al addition.
• For SAC+Al+Ni alloys, the pasty range and liquidus temperature
°
are about 4°C less than that of SAC105 or SAC1505 if the added
quantity is less than about 0.6%.
• Thus, new alloys exhibit SAC305 creep rate, SAC105 softness, &
lower mp than SAC105.
