After manufacturing, the foundry scans the unique ID [identification] from each IC [integrated circuit] and sends it back to the design house. The design house then sends the unlock key to the foundry to unlock the IC. In this process, the design house keeps track of the number of activated ICs, which helps to prevent overproduction. 3, record 2, English, - overbuilding

Une autre méthode très utilisée pour voler des puces électroniques est la surproduction. En effet, celle-ci est très difficile à détecter par le concepteur du circuit, qui n'a aucun moyen pour contrôler le nombre d'entités produites une fois qu'il a fourni la description complète du circuit intégré. Ainsi, le contrefacteur obtient une puce strictement identique au circuit qui est produit et peut alors le vendre, en son propre nom, à des prix beaucoup moins importants que le véritable propriétaire du circuit produit. 3, record 2, French, - surproduction

RAGA January 1981, 61. Track Circuit Conductor Retainer Clip : Bootleg and crossbonds often become damaged due to the track circuit conductor becoming dislodged from the rail and moving into the path of passing trains. To prevent this, a retaining clip has been developed which holds the track circuit conductor against the contour of the rail. Called a track circuit retainer, the clip will fit most sizes of rail and will accommodate either 4-76 mm bare or insulated strand, or 7-94 mm bare bond strand. It can be used with welded and plug bonds attached to the rail heads or webs. The clip comprises two strips of metal joined by two semi-circular holders through which the conductor passes. The clip is located under the rail and bent round to the opposite side, so that there is a holder above and below the rail bottom, so keeping the conductor in place. 1, record 18, English, - track%20circuit%20retainer

The Canadian Grand Prix is usually a race of attrition where it is rare to see half of the grid finishing the race so a strong car is vital... "Montreal is a great place to go as everyone enjoys the circuit there and the city itself... This is a strange place, "said Irvine; "Being neither a street circuit nor a permanent race track. With some fast sections, short corners and a hairpin it can be very tough on the car, especially brakes. The surface is usually very dirty on the first day of practice and gets better as more rubber goes down. " 1, record 19, English, - permanent%20race%20track
