  • Patent number: 12103031
    Abstract: Among arbitrary positions on the course of a sealing gun, a position ahead of and separated from the arbitrary position in the moving direction of the sealing gun by a given distance, where an application part falls within a given allowable size in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction on the basis of the sealing gun, is a first position, and a position where the application part is deviated from the allowable size is a second position. A control device corrects the course of the sealing gun that is defined by an operation plan, based on the shape of the application part measured in a measurement point located at the first position.

  • Publication number: 20190260715
    Abstract: A computer system includes a plurality of processing nodes constituting a blockchain network and a connection apparatus connecting to the blockchain network. The processing node holds information. The connection apparatus includes a connection processing unit that transmits a transaction to the processing node. The connection processing unit includes an encryption processing unit that generates searchable ciphertext from a keyword based on a probabilistic encryption method. The encryption processing unit generates, from the keyword, the searchable ciphertext to be used as an address indicating a transmission source or a transmission destination of the transaction, and generates the transaction including the searchable ciphertext.

  • Patent number: 8548654
    Abstract: A message that contains train on-track information and reservation information of a train detection section and direction information and reservation information of a switch is circulated among a train detector, switch machine, signal device controller and a route indicating device. Via a signaling message, the train detector transmits the train detection result to the signal device controller and the route indicating device, the switch machine can transmit switch condition to the signal device controller, the route indicating device transmits route reservation to the switch machine and the signal device controller. Based on the transmitted train detection result, switch condition and route reservation condition, the signal device controller transmits travel permission or travel non-permission for the assigned route to a train.

  • Patent number: 8122075
    Abstract: A pseudorandom number generator reduced in size while maintaining high security is disclosed. The generator has a state storage unit of 2 blocks (n bits per block) and a buffer of plurality of blocks, and mixes their contents to obtain a random number sequence. The mixing is done by a nonlinear transformation unit for inputting the stored content of the buffer to output data of the same size as the input data, a first linear transformation unit for inputting the content of the state storage unit and the output of the nonlinear transformation unit to store an output into the state storage unit, and a second linear transformation unit for inputting the stored content of the buffer and the stored content of the state storage unit to store an output into the buffer. The mixed content of the state storage unit is output as a random number sequence.

  • Patent number: 8108682
    Abstract: To achieve high safety, large-sized nonlinear permutation is employed; however, the larger permutation processing is, the more the period of time required for the processing is, which hence is not efficient. There is provided a hash value generation method or a hash value generator which has the following aspects and which is highly safe and is capable of executing processing at a high speed. 1. As a message insertion method, there is employed a linear conversion in which the insertion message affects all subblocks. 2. An internal state is divided into a plurality of subblocks, and nonlinear permutation is conducted in each subblock unit. 3. Additionally, the linear conversion of item 1 above may be configured such that each subblock of the internal state affects the subblocks of the output.

  • Patent number: 7756613
    Abstract: Trains and points are patrolled by a telegram containing the block occupancy information as a section that only one train is permitted to occupy, the information for giving lock position instructions to a point, and the point position information. This telegram is updated in order to get the right of block occupancy that is not held by other trains, and to give lock position instruction to the point. The train checks the block which this train is allowed to occupy, confirms that the point in this block has been set to the lock position specified by this train. Reading the aforementioned telegram, the point checks the lock position instruction given to itself and controls its lock position. A signaling system characterized by reduced designing and manufacturing costs is provided.
