Wire & Cable Preparation Tools- Power, Transmission & Distribution.
Ripley Utility Tool Cable Preparation Tools for Power Transmission & Distribution - Underground Cables & Overhead Lines
Ripley Utility Tools are cable preparation tools used to cable splice, cable joint and cable terminate low voltage (LV), high voltage (HV) and extra high voltage (EHV) power, transmission and distribution cables. Cable preparation and cable jointing tools are suitable for both underground cable and overhead line applications - this includes 3.3kV, 11kV, 33kV, 66kV, 132kV and 400kV cable preparation.
Ripley Utility Tools are designed to meet specific cable jointing, terminating and overhead line applications - this includes removal of cable insulation, semi-conductive screens, cable strippers, cable sheath jacket strippers and other cable materials to ensure uniform cable preparation of cable ends prior to cable jointing and cable terminating, both underground cables and overhead lines.
Importance of Cable Jointing, Splicing & Terminating Tools LV-HV
Cable joints, cable splices and cable terminations can fail prematurely whilst in service or during pressure testing - upon investigation the reasons for cable failures are usually determined as careless cable jointer workmanship in constructing the cable joint or cable termination. Some practises identified not only contributed to the failure of the cable joint or termination but also placed cable jointers and public at risk from injury from flashover.
Cable Jointer Errors & Reasons For Cable Joint Failures
* Non standard or poorly applied earthing arrangements
* Incorrect mixing of cable jointing resin
* Incorrect cable stripping dimensions being used
* Cable sheaths and insulation being scored or damaged
* Using incorrect cable jointing materials or lack of cable jointer tools
* Discarded waste materials such as shear off bolt heads left within the cable joint body or within shrink down insulation tubes.

Range measurement is a crucial aspect of radar systems, providing information about the distance to a target. The IF amplifier plays a key role in signal processing, amplifying intermediate frequency signals for further analysis. The FMCW altimeter utilizes frequency-modulated continuous wave technology to accurately measure altitude above a reference point.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

The brand must be clearly legible and stamped on the nail plate.
2.3 Sealing, Nail Plates and Marking of Sleepers and Timbers
Immediately following inspection, a clear coat of an approved undiluted timber sealant shall be
applied to the ends of all approved timbers to prevent quick drying and splitting of timber ends.
Note: Suppliers shall nominate the sealants proposed for use, as part of information required, in
the tender documentation.
All timber sleepers, turnout switch & crossing timbers shall be effectively end nail plated by
having nail plates that cover at least two thirds (2/3) of the timber cross section fitted, to
prevent end splitting prior to the timber being seasoned. Gang nail plates shall have a
maximum of two rows of nails deleted near the top of the plate to identify the top of sleeper and
assist with installation. Refer Drg. No. MS-02/1 for minimum gang nail plate requirements.
For identification purposes, the initials, ARTC, are to be stamped on the gang nail plates
together with the Sawmill’s personal brand. Year of cutting and species ID number shall also be
branded on the nail plate as per details on Drg. No. MS-02_1.
