Patent number: 11927521Abstract: An analysis threshold determination device includes a threshold determination unit for determining a pair of or plural pairs of thresholds used for analysis in accordance with a pair of thresholds generated by a calculation unit and a count value output from a pulse count unit. The calculation unit repeatedly generates a new pair of thresholds in which at least one of the pair of thresholds is changed every time the pulse count unit counts the pulse until reaching a predetermined value. The threshold determination unit chooses a class of a measure of central tendency according to a frequency distribution defining each pair of thresholds generated as a class and the count value output from the pulse count unit as a frequency. The threshold determination unit determines a pair of or plural pairs of thresholds corresponding to a class of a predetermined range from the class of measure of central tendency.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: JVCKENWOOD CORPORATIONInventors: Atsushi Saito, Shigehiko Iwama, Masahiro Yamamoto

Patent number: 9054699Abstract: Each of a plurality of redundantly formed semiconductor circuits integrally has a monitor transistor and is energized by being supplied with an enable signal. A monitor circuit associated with each semiconductor circuit detects a collector current of the monitor transistor and, when the collector current is less than a predetermined threshold value, outputs an alarm signal. A variation predicting circuit calculates the rate of change per unit time with respect to the collector current. An order determining circuit stores the identification numbers of the semiconductor circuits into an order determination register in descending order of the rate of change. The order determination register initially outputs the front identification number, and thereafter outputs the respective following identification number each time a respective one of the monitor circuits outputs an alarm signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2013Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventor: Masahiro Iwama
