  • Patent number: 11797421
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a debug system that accesses a semiconductor apparatus from the outside by a simple configuration at less overhead. The present invention relates to a semiconductor apparatus and a debug system.

  • Patent number: 11797362
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus (10) includes multiple data processors (300) that each perform a set subprocess of multiple sequential subprocesses included in a process sequence and a data distributor (210) that mediates data exchange between the multiple data processors (300) in accordance with a publish-subscribe model. An ID checker (330) determines, based on identification information assigned to received data received from the data distributor (210), whether received data is to be processed in the subprocess set to be performed by the data processor (300). A data processing executor (340) performs the set subprocess when the ID checker (330) determines that the received data is to be processed in the set subprocess. A data converter (310) assigns new identification information to data resulting from the set subprocess performed by the data processing executor (340) and transmits the data assigned with the new identification information to the data distributor (210).

  • Patent number: 11783947
    Abstract: A method of automatically diagnosing pneumonia in a patient includes using an input/output interface device to obtain values of two or more diagnostic parameters of the patient from a caregiver for the patient. The method includes using a processor coupled to the input/output interface to apply the two or more diagnostic parameters to an electronic memory storing precompiled pneumonia diagnostic models to identify an optimal diagnostic model for making a diagnosis. The values of the two or more diagnostic signs are applied to the identified optimal diagnostic model to generate a diagnosis output. The input/output interface device is operated in accordance with the diagnosis output to indicate the presence or absence of pneumonia in the patient to the caregiver. The caregiver may use the diagnosis to provide appropriate care to the patient. The pneumonia diagnostic models are derived from investigation of a population of pneumonia positive and non-pneumonia subjects.

  • Patent number: 11775678
    Abstract: Access to sensitive information in a database can be restricted to improve security and enable efficient auditing. A security engine receives a request from a requesting entity to access data in the database and determines that the requested data includes sensitive information. In response to the requesting entity being authorized to access the data, the security engine retrieves the requested data from the database and modifies the retrieved data by modifying metadata of the retrieved data to include a tag indicating that the retrieved data includes sensitive information. The security engine provides the modified data to the requesting entity and modifies a data access log to identify each attempted access to the modified data. When sensitive data is requested, an interface can include an obscuring element, requiring a user to manually select the element to view the data, enabling the logging of the explicit access request by the user.
