Patent number: 11943243Abstract: In an anomaly detection method that determines whether each frame in observation data constituted by a collection of frames sent and received over a communication network system is anomalous, a difference between a data distribution of a feature amount extracted from the frame in the observation data and a data distribution for a collection of frames sent and received over the communication network system, obtained at a different timing from the observation data, is calculated. A frame having a feature amount for which the difference is predetermined value or higher is determined to be an anomalous frame. An anomaly contribution level of feature amounts extracted from the frame determined to be an anomalous frame is calculated, and an anomalous payload part, which is at least one part of the payload corresponding to the feature amount for which the anomaly contribution level is at least the predetermined value, is output.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CORPORATION OF AMERICAInventors: Takamitsu Sasaki, Tomoyuki Haga, Daiki Tanaka, Makoto Yamada, Hisashi Kashima, Takeshi Kishikawa

Patent number: 11891065Abstract: A vehicle gear-shifting control apparatus is equipped with an engine, a motor, an automatic transmission, a friction brake system, and a controller which executes, during deceleration of a vehicle during which the friction brake system is distributing a braking force to front and rear wheels, a regeneration control of imparting a regenerative braking torque to the rear wheels by causing the motor to perform a regeneration operation and a gear-shifting control of changing a shift stage of the automatic transmission by outputting a gear-shifting signal in accordance with the rotation speed of an input shaft to the automatic transmission. When the controller determines an oversteered state of the vehicle during the regeneration control, the controller increases an input torque of the input shaft so that the regenerative braking torque decreases while maintaining the regeneration operation of the motor and, at the same time, limits the gear-shifting control.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2023Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Makoto Yamada, Tooru Uematsu, Atsushi Yamasaki

Patent number: 11892077Abstract: A vehicle gear-shifting control apparatus is equipped with an engine, an automatic transmission, and a controller which changes a shift stage by outputting a gear-shifting signal in accordance with the rotation speed of an input shaft to the automatic transmission. The controller executes a torque-regulating control of temporarily increasing or decreasing an input torque input to the input shaft during a shift-change, and when executing the control, determines whether or not a target increase/decrease amount of the input torque can be realized based on calculation results of a target output torque and a target gear-shifting time, executes the control to realize the target amount when it is determined that the target amount can be realized, and executes the control based on an allowable gear-shifting time set in advance to be longer than the target gear-shifting time when it is determined that the target amount cannot be realized.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2023Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Makoto Yamada, Yasunari Nakayama, Yusuke Moriyama, Wataru Sakamoto

Publication number: 20230347749Abstract: A vehicle gear-shifting control apparatus is equipped with an engine, a motor, an automatic transmission, a friction brake system, and a controller which executes regeneration control and gear-shifting control during deceleration of the vehicle with a braking force to front and rear wheels. The controller increases an input torque of an input shaft according to a downshift so that an accompanying acceleration fluctuation equals a target acceleration fluctuation. When the controller determines an oversteered state during the regeneration control and during a downshift, the controller increases the input torque so that a regenerative braking torque decreases while maintaining a regeneration operation of the motor and, at the same time, the controller causes the automatic transmission to perform the downshift in a state where an amount of increase of the input torque in accordance with the downshift has been increased compared to during a non-determination of the oversteered state.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Makoto Yamada, Tooru Uematsu, Atsushi Yamasaki
