  • Patent number: 12143357
    Abstract: Conventional security measures are generally intended for an IT system, and it has been difficult to satisfy a real-time property and availability requested to a control system. Furthermore, since a time-division type time slot communication method is not taken into consideration, such time slot communication has problems in efficient utilization of computer resources and decrease in availability. In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention specifies a time slot from characteristics of a communication packet received by a reception unit 133 by using a time slot characteristic storage unit 130, and selects, in accordance with the specified time slot, an inspection pattern stored in an inspection pattern storage unit 136 by using an inspection pattern selection unit 131.

  • Publication number: 20240318734
    Abstract: A rotor is placed on one axial side relative to a passage hole forming portion at an inside of a housing. A differential pressure device is placed on the one axial side relative to the rotor and has a pressure chamber. The housing has: a one-side space that is placed on the one axial side relative to the rotor; and at least one other-side space that is placed on another axial side, which is opposite to the one axial side, relative to the passage hole forming portion. The differential pressure device generates an urging force that urges the rotor against the passage hole forming portion by a differential pressure between a pressure in the pressure chamber and a pressure in the one-side space in a case where a pressure in the at least one other-side space is higher than the pressure in the one-side space.

  • Publication number: 20240322603
    Abstract: A power transmitting and receiving system includes a power receiving device including a power receiving coil, and a power transmission device including power transmission coils arranged in a line, a power transmission circuit, and control circuitry. The control circuitry switches an electrical connection between the power transmission circuit and each power transmission coil, detects a relative position between the power receiving coil and each power transmission coil, selects adjacent power transmission coils based on the relative position, and causes the power transmission circuit to supply AC power to the selected power transmission coils. In an array direction of the power transmission coils, width Dwt of each power transmission coil is shorter than width Dwr of the power receiving coil. In a direction perpendicular to the array direction, width Dlt of each power transmission coil is equal to or longer than width Dlr of the power receiving coil.
