This document presents a study comparing laser cutting and plasma cutting of mild steel E350 material. The study aims to select the best cutting technology and investigate the effects of process parameters on output responses. Laser power, cutting speed, and gas pressure were varied as input parameters, while surface roughness, kerf, taper, and heat affected zone were measured as output responses. Experiments were conducted according to a Taguchi L27 design of experiments. Analysis of variance found that all input parameters significantly affected the output responses. Laser cutting produced lower surface roughness and taper compared to plasma cutting for the material. Optimal parameters for laser cutting of mild steel were identified.

The gears are an essential component of any system. A gear is a spinning circular machine part with cut teeth, or inserted teeth (called cogs) in the case of a cogwheel or gearwheel, which mesh with another toothed part to convey torque. A gear is sometimes referred as a cog colloquially. Geared devices can adjust a power source's speed, torque, and direction. To eliminate backlash, high precision is required while making gears. Wire cut EDM is a high-precision machining technology that may manufacture high-precision straight gear. The goal of this research is to use the WEDM Process on an EMS 45 to determine the surface roughness of the workpiece and to optimise the influence of current and wire speed on the surface roughness of the straight gear. Wire cut machining parameters employed were 4, 6, and 8 amperes of current and 9, 11, and 13 mm/min of wire speed. Wire has a diameter of 0.25 mm, and the cutting material is brass. It has been demonstrated that as current and wire speed increase, surface roughness decreases, and vice versa. As a result, reduced machine settings can be used to generate a smoother and better workpiece surface.

Abstract Productivity and the quality of the machined parts are the main challenges of metal cutting industry during turning process. Therefore cutting parameters must be chosen and optimize in such a way that the required surface quality can be controlled. Hence statistical design of experiments (DOE) and statistical/mathematical model are used extensively for optimize. The present investigation was carried out for effect of cutting parameters (cutting speed, depth of cut and feed) In turning off mild steel and aluminum to achieve better surface finish and to reduce power requirement by reducing the cutting forces involved in machining. The experimental layout was designed based on the 2^k factorial techniques and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to identify the effect of cutting parameters on surface finish and cutting forces are developed by using multiple regression analysis. The coefficients were calculated by using regression analysis and the model is constructed. The model is tested for its adequacy by using 95% confidence level. By using the mathematical model the main and interaction effects of various process parameters on turning was studied.

ANALYSIS AND STUDYTHE EFFECTSOFVARIOUS CONTROL FACTORS OF CNC-WIRE CUT EDMFOR...meijjournal
Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a non conventional machining process which is widely used in machining of conductive materials.The applications of WEDM are in automobiles, aero-space, medical instruments, tool and die industries. in the present study analysis of effect of various control factors like Ton,Toff,Sv,Ip,Wf,Wt on checking the cutting rate of S7 steel is studied by using wire cut EDM and one factor time approach.S7 steels contain less carbon and higher toughness than the high carbon types that are more wear resistant. Shock resistant steels are used where heavy cutting or forming operations is required and chipping or breakage of high-carbon wear-resistant steels is a problem. The other big advantage of this study is to select the range of significant control factors for final experimentation.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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).

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!

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to select the best technology for cutting Mild Steel E350 grade
material by using Laser Cutting and Plasma Cutting machines; they are non contact and non conventional
machining process. To study the effect of laser and plasma cutting process by choosing laser power, gas
pressure and cutting speed as input parameters, surface roughness, taper kerfs and heat affected zone as output
parameters. The experiment was designed according to Taguchi L27 orthogonal array with three different levels
for each input parameter. For interpretation, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was conducted and optimum
parameter is selected on the basis of signal to noise ratio which confirms the experiment results
Key Words: Laser Cutting, Plasma Cutting, Mild Steel E350 material and Taguchi Method.
I. Introduction
Laser beam machining generates the intense light beam, which quickly heats up the work piece and
melts the material. The assist gas is applied to protect and cool the focusing lens and to remove the molten metal
from the cut kerfs at the same time. Due to high accuracy of cutting, narrow kerfs width, higher production rate,
intricate shape, hard to cut material proves laser beam machining a good choice for industrial application .There
are many parameters for LBM process to be selected and optimize to achieve desired response. For processing
parameters Many researchers have chosen input parameters like laser power, cutting speed, assist gas pressure,
nozzle diameter, stand of Distance, varying thickness of work piece, focus length and focal point etc. to
determine output parameters such as surface roughness, kerfs width, taper angle, material removal rate ,heat
affected zone, dross inclusion, dross height and operating cost etc. Because of the multiple parameters, they
require fine setting to get better result of LBM.
Plasma arc cutting is a non-conventional manufacturing process capable of processing a variety of
electrically conducting materials. Stainless steel manganese steel, titanium alloys, copper magnesium aluminum
and its alloys and cast iron can be processed. The plasma process for cutting was developed approximately thirty
years ago for metals difficult to be machined through conventional processes. It uses a high energy stream of
dissociated ionized gas known as plasma, as the heat source Plasma cutting process is characterized by an
electric arc established between an electrode and the work piece. The electrode acts as the cathode, and the work
piece Material acts as the anode. In order to achieve higher cutting thickness without losing the quality of the
cut, many parameters must be taken into consideration. Investigations on plasma cutting process on various
materials have identified as dominant process parameters such as Cutting Speed, Cutting Current, Cutting
Height or standoff distance maintained between the torch and work piece after piercing and while cutting,
Pressure and flow of the plasma gas.
II. Literature Review
K. SalonitisaS.Vatousianosb: Investigated the quality of the cut has been monitored by measuring the kerfs,
taper angle, the edge roughness and the size of the heat-affected zone. Parameters such as the cutting power,
scanning speed, cutting height and plasma gas pressure. By using design of experiment and analysis of variance,
it was found that the surface roughness and the kerf are mainly affected by the cutting height where as the heat
affected zone is mainly influenced by the cutting current.
B. D. Prajapati1, R. J. Patel2, B. C. Khatri: Investigated laser machine processing parameters such as laser
power, gas pressure, cutting speed and thickness effect on measured response such as surface roughness. The
experiment was designed according to Taguchi L27 orthogonal array with three different levels of each input
parameter. The results conclude that Laser Power had less effect for surface roughness might be due to small
variation in their level. Gas pressure had higher effect for cutting of Mild Steel and for Hardox- 400 had less
effect.

Figure: 14 The Normal Probability Plot indicates that the residual follows a straight line and there are
no unusual patterns or outliers. Therefore, the assumptions regarding the residuals were not violated and the
residuals are normally distributed.

As there is no much variation in the results of the heat affected zone for all the experiments, only those
experiments have taken into consideration (Laser Cutting Exp-1&4 and Plasma Cutting Exp-1 & 3) with respect
to the optimum output parameters for the purpose of analysis. Heat affected Zone is very less and not affected
much with respect to Laser Cutting. Whereas in Plasma Cutting Heat affected Zone is more, which affects the
micro structure. However, from the Table :14, it is observed that there is no change in the micro structure of
E350 Mild Steel material at the edges for both Laser and Plasma cutting.

VI. Conclusion
This paper presents the Taguchi method for optimization of edge surface roughness, taper, kerf in laser
cutting and plasma cutting of Mild Steel E350 material, using oxygen as assist gas. Three laser and plasma
cutting parameters such as cutting speed, power and assist gas pressure were considered in the experiment that
was planned according to the Taguchi’s experimental design by using L27 orthogonal array. From the
experimental results, the following conclusions were made
The cutting performance of laser cutting is better than the plasma cutting
The cutting speed and power are the most significant parameters effecting the surface roughness, taper
and kerf where gas pressure is much smaller
It was observed that the cutting speed and power should be kept in low level and gas pressure should be
in intermediate level.
In plasma cutting, It was observed that the cutting speed and power should be kept in low level and gas
pressure should be in intermediate level.
Plasma Cutting machines have a significant advantage over laser machines in terms of acquisition cost,
maintenance and productivity
The confirmation experiments have shown that Taguchi parameter design can successfully verify the
optimum cutting parameters. The validation experiment confirmed that predicted model is adequate for
determining the optimum quality characteristic at 95%confidence level
