Patent number: 11952651Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: PROTERIAL, LTD.Inventors: Hajime Itagaki, Morifumi Kuroki, Makoto Sasaki, Shin Nakajima

Patent number: 11943243Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CORPORATION OF AMERICAInventors: Takamitsu Sasaki, Tomoyuki Haga, Daiki Tanaka, Makoto Yamada, Hisashi Kashima, Takeshi Kishikawa
