RDRAND is an instruction to return random number from new Intel CPUs. This is NIST SP 800-90A compliant random number generator and now this instruction is a part of IA-32/IA-64 instruction sets. RdRand instruction is available from 3 rd generation Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors. RdRandLib is lightweight DLL to generate random numbers based on RdRand instruction. This library contain signal function to generate one or many random numbers and sample codes are available for C/C++, Delphi, Lazarus and C# languages.  RdRandLib source codes and sample codes are available at http://github.com/dilshan/rdrandlib . Compiled version of DLL is available at http://github.com/dilshan/rdrandlib/releases page.

Analog AC line monitoring box This is a quick post about our newly constructed AC line monitoring unit. This unit consists with analog AC voltmeter, frequency meter and ammeter. Both voltmeter and frequency meter are 2.5 × 2.5 inch in size and ammeter is 3.5 × 3.5 inch in size. All these panel meters are commonly available in market. Ammeter in this assembly is connected to the mains line through 60A – 5A current transformer and all the other panel meters are coupled to the mains line through 100mA quick blow fuses. Wiring diagram of this unit is illustrated in below. Wiring diagram of analog AC line monitoring box Enclosure of this assembly is made with medium density plywood sheets. All the internal mains line of this unit is wired using 2 × 12 SWG copper wires. We construct this unit to monitor the AC line status continuously and also to get some line measurements accurately (from known reference level). In our version of line monitor all the AC line connectors c...
