Ellis Patents are a leading voice in the campaign to have cable cleats reclassified as short-circuit protection devices. A move that would mean cable cleats would be placed on a parallel with fuses and circuit breakers. "This reclassification makes absolute sense. In the event of a cable fault, the forces between cables reach their peak in the first quarter cycle, which is the point that cable cleats earn their crust. In contrast, circuit breakers typically interrupt the fault after 3 or even 5 cycles by which time, if the cable cleats are underspecified, the cables will no longer be secure, but will be putting vital electrical installations and lives at unnecessary risk," says Paul Nolan UK Sales Manager, EP.

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!
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

In consultation with several of our customers we have developed a completely trefoil
cleat – the SmartCleat .
Despite it´s simple design, the SmartCleat meets the major standards of
strength, flexibility, protection and ease-of-installation.
The SmartCleat has been thoroughly tested at Norway’s Sintef Energy Research
Centre in Trondheim.
We are now proud to present a SmartCleat with all the characteristics you
would expect from a professional cable cleating system.
SmartCleat is a simple concept, easy to install and cost effective.
The SmartCleat design is patented.
Smart Cleat advantages for trefoil and single:
1. Saves space, both in height and width.
2. Plastic liners not required for trefoil installations due to the design of the clamp
providing a smooth surface.
3. Suitable for fixing to any preslotted rung design.
4. Fixing bolts are easy accessible from underneath the rung.
5. Low weight. Compact and light design.
6. The design fix the cables so close to the rungs, that rungs in
between cleats give full support for distribution of load.
6. Low product price and low installation cost.
Lo The SmartCleat cover cables from Ø 25 mm - Ø 99 mm in trefoil formation and
for single cables from Ø 39 mm - Ø 99 mm.
9. The SmartCleat is tested up to 160 kA-Peak at SINTEF Trondheim, Norway.

TREFOIL CABLE CLEAT
Trefoil Cable Cleats are mainly used for holding high
voltage single core cables in triangular form, but can
also be used for single cables and bundles of cables.
SmartCleat fits cables between 25-99 mm in diameter
and single cables or bundles of cables up to 99 mm in
diameter. SmartCleat are specially made to resist the
extreme dynamic energy which can occur with powerful
short circuits in electrical installations. The cleats are
tested with short circuits up to 160 kA-Peak.
As the photos show, the neatest and most functional solution is to cleat the cable with close
spacings - which also ensures that the cable is fully reusable.
Wider spacings do not usually result in greater loads on cleats, but the broad arch of the cable can
damage the surroundings and stretch the terminations. A non-heavy duty mantle may get damaged
from impact with the intermediate rung. Choice of cleat spacing should therefore be decided in
consultation with the cable supplier.
SmartCleat trefoil cable cleats
have been tested to meet the highest
customer standards for short circuit current.
Here are some of the test results from
Norwegian testing institute Sintef:
Cleat spacing: 150 mm
Short circuit current: 160 kA peak.
