Gate camouflaging is a technique for obfuscating the function of a circuit against reverse engineering attacks. However, if an adversary has pre-existing knowledge about the set of functions that are viable for an application, random camouflaging of gates will not obfuscate the function well. 1, record 1, English, - gate%20camouflaging

logical circuit elements have two output states, namely one or zero, and in modern high-gain circuits one of these outputs is achieved even if the input is not in either of these conditions. Thus, a loose connection or poor input gate will still cause the output of the following gate to be either one or zero. A failure in the logical network occurs when one or more outputs or inputs are always zero or always one under all network conditions.

Logical circuit elements have two output states, namely one or zero, and in modern high-gain circuits one of these outputs is achieved even if the input is not in either of these conditions. Thus, a loose connection or poor input gate will still cause the output of the following gate to be either one or zero. A failure in a logical network occurs when one or more outputs or inputs are always zero or always one under all network conditions. Thus, a logical element that fails is said to be either stuck at zero(s-a-0) or stuck at one(s-a-1). 1, record 16, English, - stuck%20at%20zero

A gate valve supervisory switch. [Sprinkler system supervisory device] The switch is attached to the two sides of the valve yoke by the hook bolts.... When the valve is wide open, the tip of the plunger enters a 1/8-in. deep depression drilled in the valve stem. The switch is adjusted so that in the open valve position the contact ring closes the electric circuit between the contact blades. 1, record 18, English, - gate%20valve%20supervisory%20switch
