Overbuilding is the easiest form of IP [intellectual property] piracy. It takes place when a contract manufacturer builds more than the requested quantity of electronic devices. The extra devices can be then sold on the market. 1, record 1, English, - overbuilding

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 1, 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 1, French, - surproduction

Participate in a team oriented research project assessing the carbon dynamics of forest ecosystems at country to regional scales, including the effects of changes in land cover, land use, and land management. The current research focus is to quantify the carbon flux(either sink or source) from changes in land use and land cover for several major boreal, temperate, and tropical countries. The primary duties will be : 1) estimate errors and their propagation for all components of national-scale terrestrial C budgets; 2) design sampling strategies for data collection from field sites to remote sensing scenes; 3) perform statistical analysis of inventory data for estimating status and trend of forest biomass-carbon densities; 4) design a data management system, including quality control procedures, for keeping track of estimates of means and associated errors of carbon budget components that vary over time and space.... 2, record 10, English, - forest%20biometrician
