Current sensors are widely used in power grid for power metering, automation and power equipment monitoring. Since the tradeoff between the sensitivity and the measurement range needs to be made to design a current sensor, it is difficult to deploy one sensor to measure both the small-magnitude and the large-magnitude current. In this research, we design a surface-mount current sensor by using the tunneling magneto-resistance (TMR) devices and show that the tradeoff between the sensitivity and the detection range can be broken. Two TMR devices of different sensitivity degrees were integrated into one current sensor module, and a signal processing algorithm was implemented to fusion the outputs of the two TMR devices. Then, a platform was setup to test the performance of the surface-mount current sensor. The results showed that the designed current sensor could measure the current from 2 mA to 100 A with an approximate 93 dB dynamic range. Besides, the nonintrusive feature of the surface-mount current sensor could make it convenient to be deployed on-site.

Return-oriented programming (ROP)is a technique used to break data execution protection(DEP). Existing ROP chain automatic construction technology cannot effectively use program controllable memory area. In order to improve the utilization of memory space, this paper proposes a method of ROP chain fragmentation layout. By searching the controllable memory area of the program, a set of layoutable space is formed, and the overall ROP chain is segmented to add jump instructions at the end of each segment, thereby achieving a fragmented layout of the ROP chain. The prototype system ROP-chip based on S2E proved the effectiveness of the fragmented layout of the ROP chain.
