Abstract:
During manufacturing a unique encrypted authentication code is created for each product based upon device specific information relating to that product. The unique encrypted authentication code together with the device specific information is stored in a database, and a representation of the unique encrypted authentication code is stored on the product. To determine whether a product in question is authentic, the readable representation of the unique encrypted authentication code is read and sent to a server along with a request for product authentication. The server provides an indication of authenticity of the product in question based upon the unique encrypted authentication code received and the device specific information associated with that unique encrypted authentication code in the database.
Abstract:
In a process variable transmitter, a sensor signal is sampled, using a clock signal, at a sensor sampling frequency. Interference is also sampled at the sensor sampling frequency. A comparison is made to determine whether the interference at the sensor sampling frequency or harmonics of the sensor sampling frequency exceed a threshold level. If so, the clock signal is changed to adjust the sensor sampling frequency away from the frequency of the interference.
