Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
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.

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.

As outage manager,
keep these basic
principles in mind:
Keep everyone focused
on what’s next and the
end of the outage
Declare when the
outage is over (date and
time) loudly as possible
days before your
appointed date and time
If a job site looks like a
mess it is, stop and get
it right or you will fight
it all outage

Zone Outage Control
Will reduce cost and schedule by 10% for three outage cycles
Phase in the following
Zone outage control will give you cost to date and cost to finish 4 hours after the end of every shift with minimal effort
Zone outage control will reduce and eventually eliminate downtime due to poor outage close out (100% availability for 18 months post outage)
Boiler book
Organization of information (remember the waltz)
All the information in one place
Inspection documents creation
Material and spares ordering

Get all the mental soak time you can
You want to constantly mentally rehearse everyone part in the play with them
You need to build a team out of different departments and company’s
It helps to have as many leadman and contractor meetings and lunches before the outage
Everyone need to know their part (Money and schedule that their part contributes to the outage)
Pick and Outage manager who is responsible for the whole thing
The outage manager needs to pick a night manager
Once the bell rings
In shutown/loto/open and ready for work the outage manager needs to be there for each hand off of work (it’s a relay race and people don’t like to give up the batton)
Daily outage meetings
2 a day (morning and night)
With Leadmen and contractor forman
Safety first
Near misses written
Near misses closed
General concerns
Site conditions
Upcoming dangerous tasks
Contractor interferences
Have a zone chart and then go through the zones with whats expected on the next shift and when you expect them to be done
Only talk about whats done and going to be done in the next 12 hours
Never accept “That should be done by shift change”
Make everyone aware that they need to answer the question you asked or else (skull and cross bones)
Timesheets (have someone get all the time sheets)
Buy dougnuts and coffee
Should only be 15 minute to a half hour no matter how large the outage
Create a team of all involved
Call the ball when its time to shift between asses and elbows and close out (It’s been lovely having you no get the F**K out!!)
Put up in large print ending milestone (Boilers hydro, turbines is full speed no load etc etc)
Inspections and outage report
Review all as found sheets
Create work scopes from as found inspection documents
Get all close out/as left documents
Keep all the originals in a three ring binder and that’s your outage report
Basic principles to always keep in mind as the outage manager
Keep everyone focused on whats next and the end of the outage
Declare when the outage in over (date and time) loudly as possible days before your appointed date and time
If a job site looks like a mess it is, stop and get it right or you will fight it all outage
