The document discusses a new generation of cylinder called the Robo Cylinder produced by IAI. Key details include:
- IAI is a fast growing private company in Japan that produces industrial robots and cylinders.
- The Robo Cylinder uses an integrated electric motor and controller to perform 7 functions including multi-positioning, speed control, and more flexibility than traditional air cylinders.
- IAI has expanded with a new factory completed in 2004 to increase production of its robotic products.

LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...DanBrown980551
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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:

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

62. Application Example 1
Solar Cell Manufacturing Line
Air cylinders had been used for this line. The solar cell is very fragile and this line
constantly caused about 3% defects due to the air cylinders’ harsh movements.
The defect rate was reduced 90% when Robo Cylinders took the place of air cylinders.
As a result, this line saved $250,000/year yield loss.

ABS (Antilock Brake System) Press fit machine
The old machine required adjustments twice a week. The parts defect rate was 3~5%.
With the Robo Cylinder, the adjustments was no longer required and the parts defect
rate reached 0%. As the result, this customer saved $48,000 yield loss per year.

Cost when air cylinders were used
• Two Air cylinders
• Two Solenoid valves
• Mounting bracket
The cost became half by using ERC
2. Assembly time

ERC also has the following benefits: Anti-Static blower for DVD
• Eliminates mounting bracket In the past, double stacked air cylinders

66. Application Example 3
DVD Manufacturing Line
3. Productivity
When air cylinders were used, the “Ionizer” lasted only a month due to the air
cylinder’s abrupt stopping force. The customer had to stop the line for few
hours to replace the damaged “Ionizer”. An Ionizer = $600 ~$700.
After switching to ERC, the “Ionizer” has not been damaged since because of
the controlled acceleration /deceleration.
Lost time from stopping the line to replace the “Ionizer” was 2 hours/month
meaning 2,500 DVDs could not be produced per month.
At a cost of $1 per DVD, the production loss was $2,500/month.
Annual loss was $30,000.

68. Application Example 4
Auto Parts Assembling Machine
1. Cycle time dropped to less than half
The old air and hydro system could not control speed and thrust of each position and needed
to push twice to press the ring securely.
Robo Cylinder can control speed and thrust in each position. It can quickly move right before
the press position, then slow down for a high thrust press fit. This shortened the cycle time
from 10 seconds to 4 seconds.
2. Machine cost saving of $150,000
The old air and hydro system needed many sensors mounted on the actuators to check that
the snap ring was pressed in correctly.
The “Push” and “Zone Output” functions of the Robo Cylinder, eliminated most of the sensors.
Also, one Robo Cylinder took the place of many air and hydro actuators dropping the
machine cost from $206,000 to $56,000. Sold & Serviced By:
