Abstract: If an enclosure of a metering device is opened or vandalized, application software must determine when the metering history information became unreliable, and further notification to the utility may be desirable. Likewise, a shipping container or suitcase that has been opened or mishandled during shipping transient may be attributed to a particular location and/or handling person(s) when the time and date of the mishandling occurrence are known. A transition on a special device input from a tamper or mishandling sensor captures real-time clock/calendar (RTCC) information that provides to a software application the time and date of the detected tampering or mishandling event. This transition may also cause memory storage of the RTCC information related to the event. Thus, an integrated circuit device, for example a microcontroller or any other integrated circuit device may comprise such an RTCC and external input, and, optionally, memory storage of the RTCC event occurrence.

Abstract translation: 如果计量设备的外壳打开或破坏，则应用软件必须确定测量历史信息何时变得不可靠，并且可能需要进一步通知公用程序。 同样地，在运输过程中已经打开或处理不当的运输集装箱或手提箱可能会在处理不当的时间和日期已知时归属于特定的位置和/或处理人员。 来自篡改或误操作传感器的特殊设备输入的转换捕获实时时钟/日历（RTCC）信息，向软件应用程序提供检测到的篡改或误操作事件的时间和日期。 这种转换也可能导致存储与事件相关的RTCC信息。 因此，诸如微控制器或任何其他集成电路设备的集成电路器件可以包括这样的RTCC和外部输入，以及可选地，RTCC事件发生的存储器存储。

Abstract: A method for hot swapping program code includes defining a predetermined range of new code from which to execute; identifying from the new code one or more system components which require a reinitialization or reset; reinitializing or resetting the one or more system components; and executing the new code.
