  • Patent number: 10556292
    Abstract: An inexpensive bonding method is provided to bond materials constituted of an aluminum-based metal to each other at a low temperature and a low pressure while inhibiting deformation, without requiring the use of a flux and minimizing the influence on the base materials and the periphery. Also provided are various bonded parts obtained by the bonding method. An insert material comprising Zn as an element that undergoes a eutectic reaction with Al is interposed between two materials constituted of an aluminum-based metal. The two materials are heated, while being pressed against each other, to a temperature at which the eutectic reaction takes place, thereby generating, at the bonding interface between the two materials, a melt due to the eutectic reaction with some of the Al contained in the base materials and discharging the Al oxide films from the bonding interface together with the melt. Thus, the two materials are bonded.

  • Patent number: 10554623
    Abstract: Provided is an on-board communication system that can prevent a communication line from being occupied due to repetitive transmission of an unauthorized message. The on-board communication system includes a plurality of interconnected ECUs and a monitoring device including: a determination processing unit to determine whether a message is an authorized message; a discard processing unit to perform processing for discarding an unauthorized message; a storage unit to store the ID of the discarded message; and a notification processing unit to perform processing for outputting, an ACK signal indicating that the reception of the message is complete. The discard processing unit does not discard a message with the same ID as that stored in the storage unit. Each of the ECUs stores the ID added to a message subjected to the discard processing, and prohibits processing of a message with the same ID as that stored in the storage unit.

  • Publication number: 20190351844
    Abstract: An ECU compares a plurality of pieces of data that include the same identification information if they are received within a preset time range. If it is determined, as a result of the comparison, that there are one or more data groups each consisting of data having the same content, and the number of largest data groups with the largest number of pieces of data among the one or more data groups is one, the ECU selects data included in the largest data group as proper data. In the ECU, if it is determined that, as a result of comparison, that there is no data group, or the number of largest data groups is greater than one, the contents of the plurality of pieces of data received within the time range are ignored.

  • Patent number: 10462159
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for detecting a botnet in a network based on traffic flow, daisy chained mechanism and white-list generation mechanism. The system and method uses the known malicious components in a botnet such as IP address, domain name and URL, to be the root of a daisy chain and creates a network graph based on given traffic flow data such as NetFlow data, DNS cache data, DNS sinkhole data, DDoS data and Attack log data in threat sensors. The system and method iteratively detects new malicious factors by tracing that network graph. The system and method also introduces a technique to create a white list which is used in the daisy chain to reduce false positive.
