  • Publication number: 20240089097
    Abstract: When the external storage itself is replaced by a legitimate old key by a malicious third party, the security IP cannot recognize that it is the old key and can be easily rolled back, that is, the old key is regarded as the legitimate key and operates. An OTP is provided in the SoC, and the version of the key ring is managed in one control table area. Specifically, predetermined information that is updated in synchronization with the key update is written in the management table area of the OTP, and an authentication value is calculated by associating the predetermined information with a key ring including the update key. The calculated authentication value is added and registered when registering the key ring.

  • Patent number: 11180405
    Abstract: Provided is a sheet glass production process for properly producing sheet glass having a convex shape in section in a width direction orthogonal to the advancing direction of a glass ribbon. A glass ribbon G2 advancing on molten metal 22 is heated so as to have both edge portions G2B heated more intensely than a central portion G2A in a width direction thereof in an upstream zone of the molten metal bath, and a plurality of rolls 23 are rotated in contact with both edge portions G2B of the glass ribbon G2 such that upstream rolls 23A in an advancing direction F1 have a lower peripheral speed than downstream rolls 23B in the advancing direction.

  • Patent number: 10059616
    Abstract: A shape measuring device includes: a predetermined pattern; an image pick-up section that captures reflected images of the predetermined pattern on the front face and back face of a transparent measurement object; a calculating section that calculates an inclination angle of at least the front face or the back face from the reflected images; and a determining section that determines a shape of at least the front face or the back face. The predetermined pattern includes a plurality of elements, and one end and the other end of each element of the plurality of elements, which are formed in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction, are deviated from each other in the extension direction.

  • Patent number: 8607589
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for annealing a glass sheet, which can sufficiently reduce I/T formed in the glass sheet, are provided. In the method for annealing a glass sheet G of the present invention, in a state that a heated and bent glass sheet G is placed on a forming mold 16, first, a region of the glass sheet G to be lifted up is cooled by cooling devices 20, 22, to make the temperature of the region to be lifted up to be a temperature of at most the strain point. Next, in this state, a lift-up member 36 is operated to lift up the region of the glass sheet G to be lifted up, by rods 38, to separate the glass sheet G from the forming mold 16.
