Fasteners are hardware devices that mechanically join or affix objects together. There are many types of fasteners including threaded and non-threaded. Threaded fasteners have external or internal threads and are defined by properties like pitch, diameter, and thread angle. Fasteners can be removable, semi-permanent, or permanent. Manufacturing processes for threaded fasteners include forging, rolling, and turning. Standards organizations define specifications for fastener design. Special fasteners may require unique designs or coating for corrosion resistance. The fastener industry is important for automotive, industrial, and construction applications.

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.

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.

2. Introduction
A fastener is a hardware device that
mechanically joins or affixes two or more
objects together.
They can be made from metals, plastics
or composites.
Fasteners types: Threaded and non-
Threaded.
3. Thread Definitions
Screw Thread: A ridge of uniform section
in the form of a helix.
4. Thread Definitions
External Thread: External threads are
on the outside of a member.
A chamfer on the end of the screw thread
makes it easier to engage the nut.
Chamfer
5. Thread Definitions
External Thread:
An external thread is cut using a die or a
lathe.
6. Thread Definitions
Internal Thread: Internal threads are on
the inside of a member.
An internal thread is cut using a tap.
7. Thread Definitions
Major DIA (D): The largest diameter (For
both internal and external threads).
Minor DIA (d): The smallest diameter.
Depth of thread: (D-d)/2
Pitch DIA (dP): The diameter at which a
line cuts the spaces and threads equally.
8. Thread Definitions
Crest: The top surface.
Root: The bottom Surface.
Side: The surface between the crest and
root.
9. Thread Definitions
Pitch (P): The distance from a point on a
screw thread to a corresponding point
on the next thread (in/Threads).
Angle of Thread (A): The angle between
the threads.
10. Thread Definitions
Screw Axis: The longitudinal centerline.

12. Thread Definitions
Right Handed Thread: Advances when
turned CW. (Threads are assumed RH
unless specified otherwise.)
Left Handed Thread: Advances when
turned CCW.
13. Types of Fasteners
Removable: This type permits the parts to be
readily disconnected without damaging the
fastener, e.g. nut and bolt.
Semi-permanent: For this type, the parts
can be disconnected, but some damage
usually occurs to the fastener,
e.g. cotter pin
Permanent: When this type of fastener is
used, the parts will never be disassembled.
e.g. rivets and welding
14. Advantages and disadvantages
of using fasteners
Advantages
Easy to install
Wide variety of standard parts
Reversible up to some extent
Operational efficiency and speed
Disadvantages
loosening
Failure under tensile loading
Cost is higher than welding.
17. Typical Designation
1/2” - 13 UNC - 2A – RH/LH
Terminology of screw threads
Sharp vee threads shown for
clarity; the crests and roots are
A=external thread actually flattened or rounded
(B means internal) during the forming operation.
Class of fit
(1 is loosest tolerance, 3 is tightest)
Thread Series
UNC (Unified Coarse); UNF (Unified Fine)
Pitch (threads/inch)
Nominal Diameter
(also shown as decimal or
screw #)

19. Tightening Torque
It is typical on engines for bolts
to have a specified tightening torque. Why?
It results in a quantified preload on the bolts
It ensures that parts never separate
Maintains friction (no sliding to shear forces)
Insures even distribution of loading
prevent warpage of mating parts
uniform pressure distribution over seal or gasket
Preventsbolt from loosening
Reduces fatigue effects

22. Manufacturing Processes -
continued
Turning on screw machines
(a) Differences in the diameters of machined and rolled threads. (b) Grain flow in machined and rolled
threads. Unlike machining, which cuts through the grains of the metal, rolled threads have improved
strength because of cold working and favorable grain flow.

23. Advantages of Cut Threading
Few limitations with regard to diameter and thread length.
All specifications can be manufactured with cut threads.
Disadvantages of Cut Threading
Significantly longer labour times means higher costs.
Advantages of Roll Threading
Significantly shorter labour times means lower costs.
Cold working makes threads more resistant to damage during handling.
Rolled threads are often smoother due to the burnishing effect of the rolling operation.
Disadvantages of Roll Threading
The availability of pitch diameter round bar is limited for certain material grades.

31. oSometimes, fasteners may have to be coated in order to prevent them from corrosion.
oThe main industries which need coated fasteners are viz. Oil & Gas Industry; Food
processing; and Waste Water Treatment Industry.
oThe main types of coatings used these days are:-
Fluoropolymer- resin/lubricant blends that offer excellent
corrosion protection
Molybdenum Disulfide- friction reduction for high pressure loads
Epoxy, thermal cure- excellent impact resistance plus corrosion
and abrasion protection
Inorganic Zinc- corrosion and weathering protection for steel
Phenolic- ideal protection in low pH, high temperature
environments
Phosphate- ferrous metal coating for anti galling and minor
corrosion resistance

32. Manufacturing processes mainly include-
• annealing
• cold forging(nuts rivets sleeves)
• inline rolling,
• heat treatment,
• finishing/coating,
• CNC turning,
• centre less grinding,
• circular thread rolling and other secondary operations
• Induction hardening of critical fasteners, use of sophisticated in-line
hardening and tempering furnaces with auto-load, pre-wash and post-
washers, and the manufacture of special fasteners with very close
tolerance are key features of our manufacturing process.
33. Fastener Industry
Chief users :
automobiles, aircraft, appliances, agricultural machinery, commercial
construction, and infrastructure.
• The fastener industry in India may be classified into two segments, namely,
high tensile and mild steel fasteners, which broadly include nuts, bolts, studs,
rivets and screws.
• All types of fasteners except high tensile and special type of fasteners are
reserved for SSI (Small Scale Industries) Sector.
• Total domestic market of fastener industry in India: INR 1500 crore.
• The market size of high-tensile fasteners in the country is around Rs 1,100
crore.
34. Fastener Industry
• Automobile industry accounts for 75 % of the total demand of this industry.
Consumer durables and railways are the other primary users of the high
tensile fasteners.
• Mild steel fasteners are primarily manufactured by the unorganised sector,
while high tensile fasteners require superior technology and are dominated by
companies in the organized sector.
• The fastener industry has been delicensed and is eligible for 100 per cent FDI
under the automatic route. So there is a scope for growth in the exports.
• The automobile, general engineering, consumer durables, railways and auto
replacement market account for 95% of the demand of cold forged high tensile
fasteners industry in India.
35. Problems
Problems that make fastener industry less competent in the global market :
1)Poor product standardisation : production has never been streamlined
2) Increased input costs : due to indiscriminate hike in raw material costs
3) Low labour output (because the fabrication process of most fasteners is
intricate and complicated and hence the manpower required has to be
skilled and this increases the production cost .
4) Investment in manpower : In India the unskilled manpower is huge but
the skilled segment is small.
36. Scope
• There is a regular annual growth in the automobile industry which has
affected a proportional growth in the fastener market.
• The manufacturing cost of mild steel fasteners (which broadly include
nuts, bolts, studs, rivets and screws) is lower than that of customised
special purpose fasteners, and tensile fasteners.(but profit margin will be
low)
• High tensile fasteners are much more profitable but require cutting-edge
technology to be competent.
• To enter into business of aircraft parts the necessary certifications require
3-5 yrs. and the only way to access the technology is through acquisition
of companies.
