This chapter provides the first comprehensive overview of hardware integrated circuits (IC) protection by metering. Hardware metering, or IC metering refers to mechanisms, methods, and protocols that enable tracking of the ICs post-fabrication. Metering is particularly needed in the horizontal semiconductor business model where the design houses outsource their fabrication to (mostly offshore) ...

The purpose of this paper is to review the essential definitions, roles and characteristics of communication on metering system. We discuss measurement, data acquisition and metrological control of a signal sensor from dynamic metering system. After that, we present instruments of sensor communication with more detailed discussions to the reference standards and the important fundamental parame...

Many factors influence the quality of turbine meter flow measurement. Recognizing these factors allows a user to optimize the flow measurement performance of a turbine metering system. In order to ensure that turbine meters in the field are operating at their best, turbine metering stations must be properly designed, calibrated, installed, and maintained on a regular basis. This paper explains ...

In this paper, we will design a set of standard communication protocols that can be used in different electric energy metering device environments by analyzing the most devices context IoT smart laboratory construction, so automatically detect inspected equipment. It achieves purpose promoting construction laboratory, enhancing management devices, and improving efficiency activities. provides s...

In view of the problems inability to continuously adjust seeding rate, small adjustment range, and low precision rice direct seed-metering device, a variable capacity roller-wheel device was designed, fabricated, verified. With method, rate could be adjusted steplessly with high through adjusting mechanism. Meanwhile, theoretical analysis parametric design critical components, such as wheel mec...

A secondary seeding precision double-seed peanut hole seed metering device was designed to improve the performance of planting equipment and provide a solution for problems on high charge that can cause poor cavitation uniformity easily. The main structure operation parameters in terms groove length, height, seed-bed belt speed, rotation speed wheel were determined through theoretical analysis....

Pakistan is a gas rich but power poor country. It consumes approximately 1, 559 Billion cubic feet of natural gas annually. Gas is transported around the country in a system of pressurized transmission pipelines under a pressure range of 600-1000 psig exclusively operated by two state owned companies i.e. SNGPL (Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited) and SSGCL (Sui Southern Gas Company Limited). T...

A metering scheme is a method by which an audit agency is able to measure the interaction between clients and servers on the web during a certain number of time frames. Naor and Pinkas 7] considered metering schemes in which any server is able to construct a proof to be sent to the audit agency if and only if it has been visited by at least a number, say h, of clients in a given time frame. In ...

different conservation tillage practices are nowadays suggested as the best solution for prevention of soil from erosion. this could be done by leaving the previous crop residue on the soil surface. a new idea to plant in the conservation tillage system is the use of punch planters by which one can plant through a heavy depth of previous crop surface residue. the study was conducted using a 2?3...

This paper presents an unconventional approach for work-zone bottleneck traffic control through integrating the dynamic late merge with a merge metering via wireless communication at the downstream taper area of a work zone, termed as Dynamic Merge Metering Traffic Control System (DMM-Tracs). The architecture and communication system for the DMM-Tracs, including system components, communication...
