Patent number: 11945147Abstract: A vehicle interior and exterior member comprises a fiber molded body and a synthetic resin member fixed to a surface of the fiber molded body. The fiber molded body has a fiber layer including thermoplastic synthetic resin as a base material layer. The base material layer has fiber layer surfaces on its both surfaces or, the base material layer has another fiber layer including the other type of thermoplastic synthetic resin on one of the fiber layer surface to form a fiber laminated body. The fiber molded body is formed by molding the fiber laminated body into a three-dimensional face shape. The synthetic resin member has a fixed portion which is fixed to the fiber molded body by solidifying it in a state that molten synthetic resin has seeped into the fiber layer of the fiber laminated body.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Howa Co.

Patent number: 9224011Abstract: An embedded system includes a nonvolatile memory, a control section, and a firmware update section. The nonvolatile memory stores firmware and a public key in a normal area, and stores a hash value concerning the public key in an access restricted area. The control section reads and executes the firmware from the nonvolatile memory. The firmware update section receives new firmware in which the hash value is encrypted and given as an electronic signature, and updates the firmware to the new firmware. The firmware update section is configured to: read the public key from the nonvolatile memory to calculate the hash value concerning the public key; when the hash value is identical to the hash value stored in the nonvolatile memory, calculate a hash value of the new firmware; decrypt the electronic signature with the public key to restore the hash value; and when these hash values are identical to each other, update the firmware.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2014Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Masaki Sone
