  • Patent number: 11949705
    Abstract: An anomaly detection server is provided. The anomaly detection server is a server for counteracting an anomalous frame transmitted on an on-board network of a single vehicle. The anomaly detection server acquires information about multiple frames received on one or multiple on-board networks of one or multiple vehicles, including the single vehicle. The anomaly detection server, acting as an assessment unit that, based on the information about the multiple frames and information about a frame received on the on-board network of the single vehicle after the acquisition of the information about the multiple frames, assesses an anomaly level of the frame received on the on-board network of the single vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11912217
    Abstract: A vehicle is positively charged with static electricity due to an external factor. The vehicle includes a battery, a static eliminator sheet, and a holding member. The battery includes at least one cell, an electrolyte, a resin case, and negative and positive terminals. The resin case accommodates the components and electrolyte of each cell. The negative terminal is grounded to the vehicle body. The positive terminal is supplied with electric power from a charger. The static eliminator sheet is made of a material on a positive side of a triboelectric series with respect to a material of the resin case. The holding member holds the static eliminator sheet and the resin case in contact with each other. The holding member holds the battery at a predetermined location of the vehicle body in a state where the resin case and the static eliminator sheet are slidable due to vehicle body vibrations.

  • Patent number: 10180675
    Abstract: A machine tool for machining a workpiece includes a control device for moving a rotating tool relative to the workpiece. The device includes an input information-reading unit and a path-setting unit. The input information-reading unit reads input information, which relates to a path along the contour of the workpiece or the tool path of a first rotating tool that follows the external form of the workpiece. The path-setting unit converts the input information read by the input information-reading unit to generate a tool path for performing the machining using the end cutting edge of a second rotating tool.

  • Patent number: 9663084
    Abstract: A rotating pumping apparatus is provided which may be employed in an automotive brake system. The rotating pumping apparatus includes a sealing member and a pressure member. The sealing member is disposed around a pump drive shaft. The pressure member includes a plate spring, a first rotation stopper, and a second rotation stopper. The first rotation stopper serves to stop the pressure member from rotating following rotation of the pump drive shaft. The second rotation stopper engages the seal ring to stop the sealing member from rotating following the rotation of the pump drive shaft. The plate spring works to elastically press the sealing member against a stopper wall of a pump casing to stop the sealing member from moving in an axial direction of the pump drive shaft.
