What Is Bracing | Types of Bracing | What Does Brace Mean | Advantages & Disadvantages of Bracing systems

Bracing systems are essential for lateral load resistance in steel structures due to earthquake or wind forces.
Beams and columns are designed for vertical loads, while bracings reduce lateral deflection.
Two main types of bracing systems are horizontal and vertical bracing.
Horizontal bracing transfers horizontal loads from perimeter columns to planes of vertical bracing.
There are two major types of horizontal bracing: diaphragms and discrete triangulated bracing.
Vertical bracing is placed between column lines to transfer horizontal forces to ground level and withstand sway of overall building.
There are two subtypes of vertical bracing: cross bracing for tension and single diagonal bracing for both tension and compression.
Bracing reduces lateral displacement and helps resist buckling of main beams.
Bracing frames are more resistant to high-speed winds and seismic forces than non-braced buildings.
Disadvantages of bracing systems include restricted span length and required skilled workmanship.

Living With Kids: Trina McNeilly

Trina McNeilly's home is a splendid mix of beauty and beast where not one space is too precious or perfect for her four children and it looks utterly perfect and absolutely precious at the same time.
Trina tells the story of how she was apprehensive about moving back into the home she grew up in, but she couldn't resist the sentiment and persuasive powers of her husband.
She has made changes to the house over the years, trying to balance her own style and her family's opinions, but in the end, she decided to just decorate it with what she loves and not take things too seriously.
Trina's home is a fun, lived-in space that she hopes will create warm memories for her children, just as it did for her growing up.
Her biggest advice for decorating a home is to use what you love without taking your space too seriously and making it your favorite place to be.
As a mother of four, Trina admits that parenting is full of highs and lows, and all she can do is offer grace and accept it herself, while forgiving herself and providing the best for her children.
Trina finds her best design inspiration through travel and the colorful doors of England.
She has come to accept that balance is kind of a myth, and that surrendering to the idea of an imperfect life is the perfect thing.
Trina's greatest hope for her children is to know that there is no place like home, not in a way that they never want to leave or always feel they must return, but in a way that their tie to it would be strong because it was a place where they were equipped with courage and encouragement to go out into the world and become the very person they were made to be.
Her children and their friends are invited to come over and enjoy a fun, lived in, and imaginative home that is straight-out magical.

STMicroelectronics Unveils STM32N6 with Neural-ART Accelerator NPU for Edge AI

STMicroelectronics has unveiled the STM32N6 MCU series, having the proprietary Neural-ART Accelerator NPU for embedded inference.
AI tasks like computer vision, audio processing, and sound analysis, previously too complex for small systems, can now be handled by the new series, enabling developers to create smart, efficient products that perform advanced functions in real-time.
The STM32N6 exemplifies the vision that relies on three pillars: AI at the edge, enhanced security, and cloud integration, which aims to improve real-time applications, reduce data transmission, and enhance security, enabling new applications and business models.
For STM32N6 microcontrollers, three main application scenarios have been found: to improve current uses, shift tasks from microprocessors to the more energy-efficient MCUs, and develop new applications.
The device's ability to combine hardware acceleration with memory optimization makes it an important product in the highly competitive MCU market.
ST’s investment in software tools demonstrates its dedication to enabling artificial intelligence at the edge.
The STM32N6 is a sophisticated microcontroller that lets real-time artificial intelligence processing happen at the edge supporting usage in industrial, consumer, and automotive sectors.
Second-generation accelerators are currently under development to be four times quicker, and a third-generation accelerator is predicted to produce a ten-fold performance boost to mirror continuous hardware acceleration improvements.
The STM32N6 and the Qualcomm collaboration represent significant strides in advancing artificial intelligence at the edge.
The market for artificial intelligence at the edge is predicted to rise dramatically over the next ten years.
