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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Nelson Self Regulating Heater cables
Product catalog
Easy Heat Europe b.v. Commercial register The Netherlands 18047721 July 2008
2. NELSON™
SPECIFICATION/APPLICATION
230V TYPE CLT SELF-REGULATING HEATER CABLE INFORMATION
Description:
Nelson Type CLT self-regulating
heater cable is a parallel circuit electric
heater strip. An irradiation cross-linked
conductive polymer core material is
extruded over the multi-stranded, tin-plated,
1.0 mm2 copper bus wires. The
conductive core material increases or
decreases its heat output in response
to temperature changes. Two jackets
provide extra dielectric strength,
moisture resistance, and protection
from impact and abrasion damage. The
inner thermoplastic jacket is extruded
over and bonded to the core material.
A thermoplastic elastomer outer jacket
is then extruded over the inner jacket. A
stranded copper metal braid and
thermoplastic elastomer overjacket is
supplied on all heaters.
Operating Principle:
The parallel bus wires apply
voltage along the entire length of the
heater cable. The conductive core
provides a continuous parallel heating
element permitting the cable to be cut
to any length in the field with no dead
or cold zones developing. The heater
cable derives its self-regulating
characteristic from the inherent
properties of the conductive core
material. As the core material
temperature increases, the number of
conductive paths in the core material
decreases, automatically decreasing
the heat output. As the temperature
decreases, the number of conductive
paths increases, causing the heat
output to increase. This occurs at every
point along the length of the cable,
adjusting the power output to the
varying conditions along the pipe.
The self-regulating effect allows
the cable to be overlapped without
creating hot spots or burnout. As the
cable self-regulates its heat output, it
provides for the efficient use of electric
power, producing heat only when and
where it is needed.
Specifications:
Maintain Temperature 65°C
Maximum Continuous Exposure Temperature 65°C (continuous power on)
Maximum Intermittent Exposure Temperature 85°C (1000 hours cumulative exposure)
Bus Wire Size 1.0 mm2 Copper Conductors

Product Dimensions (Nominal) 6.7mm x 11.0mm
Product Weight 106.0 g/m
Minimum Installation Temperature -40°C
Minimum Bend Radius 12.0 mm at –40°C
Application:
Nelson's Type CLT self-regulating
heater cable is ideal for use in
maintaining fluid flow under low
ambient conditions. Freeze protection
and low watt density process
temperature systems such as product
pipelines, fire protection, process water,
dust suppression systems and
structure anti-icing are typical
applications for this product.

decreasing the heat output. As the
temperature decreases, the number of
conductive paths increases, causing the
heat output to increase. This occurs at
every point along the length of the cable,
adjusting the power output to the varying
conditions along the pipe. As the cable
self- regulates its heat output, it limits the
maximum sheath temperature, while also
providing useful power for process
temperature maintenance.

Description:
Nelson Type LT self-regulating
heater cable is a parallel circuit
electric heater strip. An irradiation
cross-linked conductive polymer
core material is extruded over the
multi-stranded, tin-plated, 16-
gauge copper bus wires. The
conductive core material
increases or decreases its heat
output in response to
temperature changes. Two
jackets provide extra dielectric
strength, moisture resistance,
and protection from impact and
abrasion damage. The inner
thermoplastic jacket is extruded
over and bonded to the core
material. A thermoplastic
elastomer outer jacket is then
extruded over the inner jacket. A
stranded tinned copper metal
braid is supplied on all heaters. A
color-coded modified polyolefin
overjacket is supplied for positive
identification during installation.
Principle of Operation:
The parallel bus wires apply
voltage along the entire length of
the heater cable. The conductive
core provides an infinite number
of parallel conductive paths
permitting the cable to be cut to
• Stranded Plated Copper Conductors
• Self-Regulating Conductive Core
• Bonded Inner Thermoplastic Jacket
• Outer Thermoplastic Elastomer Jacket
any length in the field with no
dead or cold zones developing.
The heater cable derives its self-regulating
characteristic from the
inherent properties of the
conductive core material. As the
core material temperature
increases, the number of
conductive paths in the core
material decrease, automatically
decreasing the heat output. As
the temperature decreases, the
number of conductive paths
increase, causing the heat output
to increase. This occurs at every
point along the length of the
cable, adjusting the power output
to the varying conditions along
the pipe. The self-regulating
effect allows the cable to be
overlapped without creating hot
spots or burnout. As the cable
self-regulates its heat output, it
provides for the efficient use of
electric power, producing heat
only when and where it is
needed.
Application:
Nelson's Type LT domestic
hot water heating cable is an
energy-efficient and economical
alternative to common
recirculation systems. The
heating cable is used to
maintain water temperature in
the supply piping system,
reducing or eliminating the delay
in obtaining hot water at each
fixture. This cable system
eliminates the need for return
piping, pumps, check valves and
pressure balancing valves found
in recirculating systems. In
addition, maintenance
requirements are greatly
reduced through the elimination
of all devices with moving parts
connected to the recirculating
portion of the hot water supply
system. The standard product
offering has been designed to
maintain nominal domestic
water temperatures of 40ºC,
45ºC, 50ºC and 60ºC. These
representative hot water
temperatures are in accordance
with the 1999 ASHRAE
Applications Handbook, Service
Water Heating. The heating
cables are UL Listed and CSA
Certified for domestic hot water
temperature maintenance and
meet all requirements of IEEE
Standard 515.1, Recommended
Practice for the Testing, Design,
Installation, and Maintenance of
Electrical Resistance Heat
Tracing for Commercial
Applications.
