  • Publication number: 20240399999
    Abstract: A control device to detect abnormality of a control target, even when there is a cyber-security attack, and to control it safely. The control device includes a monitoring determination unit for determining whether the list is changed or not changed when communications data is received earlier before a predetermined time when a state of the control target is changed over, in accordance with a relationship between state transition information of a control target acquired by a state acquisition unit and a list of communications data at a normal time stored in a storage unit; a communications monitoring unit—for monitoring communications data corresponding to the list of a control target determined by the monitoring determination unit; and an abnormality determination unit for comparing a monitoring result of the communications monitoring unit with the list, and determining whether unauthorized data is caused or not.

  • Publication number: 20230302701
    Abstract: There is provided a method for controlling a fluidity index of a molten resin, which can detect the fluidity of a molten resin even during successive molding operations and, in addition, can control the fluidity within a target range. The method includes: assuming that a narrow flow path, formed in a flow path for the molten resin, is a capillary or an orifice, and measuring, based on the amount of a metered molten resin and the back pressure applied to the screw during a metering step, a fluidity index which indicates the fluidity of the metered molten resin; and feeding back the measured fluidity index value and comparing it with a target value, and controlling the back pressure or the rotating speed of the screw so as to eliminate a deviation between the target value and the measured value.

  • Patent number: 11126730
    Abstract: Provided is an inspection system capable of inspecting whether or not a control device mounted to a vehicle normally operates also during usage. An inspection information generation unit of a server generates security inspection information for use in inspection of a function of an ECU on the basis of ECU design information and security information, and the security inspection information is transmitted to an ECU_GW. In the ECU_GW having received the security inspection information, an ECU_GW control unit performs a conversion process, and transmits information obtained by the conversion process to an ECU_A and an ECU_B. When receiving the information, each of the ECU_A and the ECU_B determines, with use of a determination reference held in advance, whether the received information is normal or abnormal.

  • Publication number: 20190340112
    Abstract: In a test device, a communication unit sequentially receives messages partially including a test target signal of a plurality of bits transmitted from an ECU. A judgment unit checks the value of the test target signal included in a message received by the communication unit in a first duration against a first expected value, checks the value of the test target signal included in a message received by the communication unit in a second duration different from the first duration against a second expected value acquired by inverting each bit of the first expected value, and judges a test on the ECU as pass or fail based on both of the check results.

  • Patent number: 9493167
    Abstract: Before a communication control device ECU falls into a sleep state or a power-off state, a substitution request is transmitted to an ECU, among substitute candidate devices ECU to ECU, that is determined by a substitute transmission acceptability determining unit as being capable of taking over the communication control device. A substitution-capable processing load quantity, a substitution-capable process importance level, or a failure determination result of each of the ECUs is used as determination criteria when the substitute transmission acceptability determining unit of the ECU determines a substitute device, and the determination is carried out in an order that takes into consideration the process importance level of each of the ECUs during travelling or at a standstill, to prevent failures in a network or abnormal behaviors of a vehicle.
