  • Publication number: 20240283817
    Abstract: A switch in a communication network comprises a controller for controlling a communication flow in the communication network. A suspected flow is a communication flow suspected of being related to a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack. A normal flow is a communication flow other than the suspected flow. The controller is configured to execute provisional handling when receiving a provisional handling instruction indicating identification information of the suspected flow from a network controller. The provisional handling includes processing of setting a priority of the suspected flow to a designated priority, and processing of setting a priority of the normal flow higher than the designated priority.

  • Patent number: 12040831
    Abstract: The present invention enables shortening the time required for resuming communication in a protection method that uses a backup path in an optical communication system that includes a master station device and multiple slave station devices. The slave station devices are connected to a loop path in parallel. The communication paths between the master station device and the slave station devices include a normal path and a backup path. First and second slave station devices are slave station devices that cannot perform communication via the normal path. The magnitude relationship between backup path RTTs is opposite to the magnitude relationship between normal path RTTs. If the second normal path RTT for the second slave station device is longer than the first normal path RTT for the first slave station device, the first backup path RTT is longer than the second backup path RTT, and the second backup path RTT is shorter than the first backup path RTT.

  • Patent number: 10741683
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a semiconductor layer and a substrate. The semiconductor layer constitutes at least a part of a current path, and is made of silicon carbide. The substrate has a first surface supporting the semiconductor layer, and a second surface opposite to the first surface. Further, the substrate is made of silicon carbide having a 4H type single-crystal structure. Further, the substrate has a physical property in which a ratio of a peak strength in a wavelength of around 500 nm to a peak strength in a wavelength of around 390 nm is 0.1 or smaller in photoluminescence measurement. In this way, the semiconductor device is obtained to have a low on-resistance.

  • Patent number: 10724151
    Abstract: A device of manufacturing a silicon carbide single crystal includes a crucible, a first resistive heater, a second resistive heater, and a first support portion. The crucible has a top surface, a bottom surface opposite to the top surface, and a tubular side surface located between the top surface and the bottom surface. The first resistive heater is disposed to face the bottom surface. The second resistive heater is provided to surround the side surface. The first support portion supports the crucible such that the bottom surface is separated from the first resistive heater, and the side surface is separated from the second resistive heater. The first support portion is in contact with at least one of the top surface and the side surface.
