Abstract: An acquisition unit (15a) acquires packets passing through an active system path and packets passing through a standby system path. An aggregation unit (15b) aggregates information on the packets using the acquired packets. A determination unit (15c) compares the aggregated information on the packets between the active system path and the standby system path to determine whether there is a difference in state information indicating an operational state in an NF. In a case where it is determined that there is the difference, an instruction unit (15d) instructs an NF of the active system path and an NF of the standby system path facing the NF of the active system path to synchronize the state information.

Abstract: The on-state malfunction detection device detects an on-state malfunction, for instance, in an IGBT that is provided to correspond to a PTC element whose electrical resistance value varies according to temperature and that controls the electrification of the PTC element. In a state in which a turn-off instruction has been outputted from a control device to the IGBT, the on-state malfunction detection device determines through calculation an electric potential difference following voltage division of the voltage between the both ends of the PTC element, and detects an on-state malfunction of the IGBT when this electric potential difference is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. This allows for the detection of an on-state malfunction in a switching element that performs an electrical conduction control for an element whose electrical resistance value varies according to temperature.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to improve responsiveness to short-circuit detection and rapidly cut off power supply to a load when a short circuit occurs. When a short circuit occurs, voltage exceeding the reference voltage of a comparison circuit is inputted as an input signal from a voltage output circuit, and a high signal is outputted from the comparison circuit. An FET is turned on by the output of the comparison circuit changing to the high signal. Consequently, an electric charge stored between the gate and emitter of an IGBT is discharged through a resistor, gate voltage decreases, and thereby the IGBT is turned off. The high signal of the comparison signal is held for a predetermined period by a holding circuit, and the IGBT is maintained in the off state over this period.
