The S100A8 analog servo drive is designed to drive 3-phase brushless motors with sinusoidal current. It interfaces with digital controllers and requires 2 sinusoidal command signals 120 degrees out of phase. It has protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuits. Key features include optical isolation, regenerative braking, adjustable current limits, and a high switching frequency.
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).

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Advanced motion controls s100a8
1. Analog Servo Drive S100A8
Description
Power Range
The S100A8 PWM servo drive is designed to drive three phase brushless motors with sine wave current at a high switching frequency. The drive requires two sinusoidal command signals with a 120-degree phase shift (external commutation). The phase angle must correspond to the position of the motor rotor, while the signal amplitude controls the motor torque. The S100A8 interfaces directly with digital controllers. The drive is fully protected against over-voltage, over- current, over-heating, and short-circuits, and requires only a single unregulated DC power supply (all logic and control voltages are generated internally). A red/green LED and two digital outputs indicate operating status. All signal inputs and outputs are optically isolated from the power section to eliminate the need for a transformer coupled power supply.

Tuning With Through-hole Components
In general, the drive will not need to be further tuned with through-hole components. However, for applications requiring more precise tuning than what is offered by the potentiometers and dipswitches, the drive can be manually modified with through-hole resistors and capacitors as denoted in the above table. By default, the through-hole locations are not populated when the drive is shipped. Before attempting to add through-hole components to the board, consult the section on loop tuning in the installation notes on the manufacturer’s website. Some general rules of thumb to follow when adding through-hole components are:
• A larger resistor value will increase the proportional gain, and therefore create a faster response time.
• A larger capacitor value will increase the integration time, and therefore create a slower response time.
Proper tuning using the through-hole components will require careful observation of the loop response on a digital oscilloscope to find the optimal through-hole component values for the specific application.
†Note: Damage done to the drive while performing these modifications will void the warranty.
