  • Publication number: 20240114028
    Abstract: A detection device includes: a monitoring unit configured to monitor a periodic message and an event message as messages in an in-vehicle network, each message having, assigned thereto, identification information of a transmission source and a sequence number; a counter unit configured to change a counter value corresponding to the identification information, when the detection device has received the event message from the in-vehicle network; and a detection unit configured to compare the sequence number with the counter value, based on a result of monitoring, and perform provisional determination for detection of an unauthorized message, based on a result of the comparison. The detection unit performs conclusive determination for detection of the unauthorized message, based on an interval of messages that satisfy a predetermined condition regarding the sequence number, among messages to which the same identification information is assigned, and on a predetermined transmission cycle of the periodic message.

  • Patent number: 10848897
    Abstract: An acoustic processing device performs acoustic processing in a space having a first listening position and a second listening position apart from the first listening position. The acoustic processing device includes a first input unit, a first output unit, and a signal processing circuit. The first input unit receives a first sound source signal to be reproduced at the first listening position. The first sound source signal includes a first left-channel signal and a first right-channel signal. The first output unit outputs the first sound source signal to a first speaker group including a first speaker disposed near a place of a head of a listener at the first listening position. The signal processing circuit draws out a first common signal common to both the first left-channel signal and the first right-channel signal and outputs the first common signal to the first speaker.

  • Patent number: 9704805
    Abstract: To provide a semiconductor device having improved reliability by improving a coupling property between a semiconductor chip and a bonding wire. A redistribution layer is comprised of a Cu film, an Ni film, and a Pd film which have been formed successively from the side of a semiconductor substrate. The Pd film on the uppermost surface is used as an electrode pad and a bonding wire made of Cu is coupled to the upper surface of the Pd film. The thickness of the Pd film is made smaller than that of the Ni film and the thickness of the Ni film is made smaller than that of the Cu film. The Cu film, the Ni film, and the Pd film have the same pattern shape in a plan view.

  • Patent number: 9466559
    Abstract: In semiconductor integrated circuit devices for vehicle use, an aluminum pad on a semiconductor chip and an external device are coupled to each other by wire bonding using a gold wire for the convenience of mounting. Such a semiconductor integrated circuit device, however, causes a connection failure due to the interaction between aluminum and gold in use for a long time at a relatively high temperature (about 150 degrees C.). A semiconductor integrated circuit device can include a semiconductor chip as a part of the device, an electrolytic gold plated surface film (gold-based metal plated film) provided over an aluminum-based bonding pad on a semiconductor chip via a barrier metal film, and a gold bonding wire (gold-based bonding wire) for interconnection between the plated surface film and an external lead provided over a wiring board (wiring substrate).

  • Patent number: 8592984
    Abstract: To suppress peeling of an Au pad for external coupling provided in a rewiring containing Cu as a main component. On the surface of a rewiring including a two-layer film in which a first Ni film is laminated on the top of a Cu film, a pad to which a wire is coupled is formed. The pad includes a two-layer film in which an Au film is laminated on the top of a second Ni film and formed integrally so as to cover the top surface and the side surface of the rewiring. Due to this, the area of contact between the rewiring and the pad increases, and therefore, the pad becomes difficult to be peeled off from the rewiring.
