  • Patent number: 11952651
    Abstract: An Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon reduced in iron loss, less deformed, and highly productive in a condition of a magnetic flux density of 1.45 T is provided. One aspect of the present disclosure provides an Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon having first and second surfaces, and is provided with continuous linear laser irradiation marks on at least the first surface. Each linear laser irradiation mark is formed along a direction orthogonal to a casting direction of the Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon, and has unevenness on its surface. When the unevenness is evaluated in the casting direction, a height difference HL×width WA calculated from the height difference between a highest point and a lowest point in a thickness direction of the Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon and the width WA which is a length of the linear irradiation mark on the first surface is 6.0 to 180 ?m2.

  • Patent number: 11943243
    Abstract: In an anomaly detection method that determines whether each frame in observation data constituted by a collection of frames sent and received over a communication network system is anomalous, a difference between a data distribution of a feature amount extracted from the frame in the observation data and a data distribution for a collection of frames sent and received over the communication network system, obtained at a different timing from the observation data, is calculated. A frame having a feature amount for which the difference is predetermined value or higher is determined to be an anomalous frame. An anomaly contribution level of feature amounts extracted from the frame determined to be an anomalous frame is calculated, and an anomalous payload part, which is at least one part of the payload corresponding to the feature amount for which the anomaly contribution level is at least the predetermined value, is output.

  • Publication number: 20230369411
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor device includes the following steps. In a silicon carbide substrate including a silicon carbide single-crystal substrate and a silicon carbide epitaxial film provided on the silicon carbide single-crystal substrate, a reference mark serving as a reference of two dimensional position coordinates is formed. After forming the reference mark, at least one of polishing or cleaning is performed on a reference mark formation surface of the silicon carbide substrate. Position coordinates of a defect present in the silicon carbide substrate are specified based on the reference mark. A device active region is formed in the silicon carbide substrate. Position coordinates of the device active region are specified based on the reference mark. A pass/fail judgement of the device active region is made by associating the position coordinates of the defect with the position of the device active region.

    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to tracking of user behavioral data in various environments where a user performs various activities. In some implementations, a method includes tracking, using capture devices, user behavior of a user, wherein the capture devices capture the user behavior performed by the user in environments associated with the user. The method further includes identifying target behaviors from the user behavior. The method further includes computing behavior scores for each target behavior of the target behaviors based on predetermined scoring criteria. The method further includes converting the behavior scores into behavior credits based on predetermined credit criteria. The method further includes displaying a summary of the user behavior to the user, wherein the summary comprises information associated with the target behaviors, the behavior scores, and the behavior credits enabling the user to redeem the behavior credits.
