The manufacturing industry has gone through significant changes in the last decade. Competition has increased dramatically. Customers focus on product quality, product delivery time and cost of product. Because of these, the organization should introduce a maintenance system to improve and increase both quality and productivity continuously. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a methodology t...

This paper will review all the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Pillars, TPM Implementation methodology and the contribution of TPM towards improving manufacturing performance.. It will also focus on calculating the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in one of the two wheeler automobile Industry in India. The relationship between various TPM implementation dimensions and manufacturing perf...

Automated verification of security protocols based on dynamic root of trust, typically relying on protected hardware such as TPM, involves several challenges that we address in this paper. We model the semantics of trusted computing platforms (including CPU, TPM, OS, and other essential components) and of associated protocols in a classical process calculus accepted by ProVerif. As part of the ...

Tropomyosin (Tpm) isoforms are the master regulators of the functions of individual actin filaments in fungi and metazoans. Tpms are coiled-coil parallel dimers that form a head-to-tail polymer along the length of actin filaments. Yeast only has two Tpm isoforms, whereas mammals have over 40. Each cytoskeletal actin filament contains a homopolymer of Tpm homodimers, resulting in a filament of u...

The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a hardware chip designed to enable commodity computers to achieve greater levels of security than is possible in software alone. To this end, the TPM provides a way to store cryptographic keys and other sensitive data in its shielded memory. Through its API, one can use those keys to achieve some security goals. There are 300 million TPMs currently in existe...

We describe a possible clinical interaction between topiramate (TPM) and carbamazepine modified release (CBZ-MR) in patients taking maximum tolerated doses of carbamazepine. Data are presented on 25 patients who contacted the epilepsy nurse specialist telephone helpline for advice after starting treatment with TPM. Thirteen male and 12 female patients, mean age 41 years (range 25-69 years), wit...

Drug delivery across the skin is used for several millennia to ease gastrointestinal (GI) ailments in Traditional Persian Medicine (TPM). TPM topical remedies are generally being applied on the stomach, lower abdomen, lower back and liver to alleviate GI illnesses such as dyspepsia, gastritis, GI ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal worms and infections. The aim of the present study i...

We present the architecture of a mobile Trusted Platform Module (mTPM). Current implementations of TPM architectures assume physical bindings between the TPM and a single hardware platform. In this paper we introduce an alternative where a TPM is bound to a single virtual machine (VM) on a portable device, following the specifications provided by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). By communicat...

The semiconductor industry has gone through significant changes in the last decade. Competition has increased dramatically. Customers focus on product quality, product delivery time and cost of product. Because of these, a company should introduce a quality system to improve and increase both quality and productivity continuously. Total productive maintenance (TPM) is a methodology that aims to...

Intravital microscopy has been recognized for its ability to make physiological measurements at cellular and subcellular levels while maintaining the complex natural microenvironment. Two-photon microscopy (TPM), using longer wavelengths than single-photon excitation, has extended intravital imaging deeper into tissues, with minimal phototoxicity. However, due to a relatively slow acquisition r...
