    Abstract: The present invention provides a program, an information processing apparatus, and an information processing method which can effectively prevent malware attacks. A predetermined process is judged as a ransomware, when a first condition that a file read function for reading a file included in a same file path as a file path written by a file write function called from the predetermined process has been already called from the predetermined process; and a second condition that the file write function rewrites a header of a file of the file path: are satisfied. A predetermined process is judged as a ransomware, when a first condition that an actual file on a disk is mapped as a virtual file on a memory by the predetermined process; a second condition that the virtual file is unmapped by the predetermined process; and a third condition that a file structure of the actual file or the virtual file when unmapping is rewritten to inappropriate status: are satisfied.

  • Patent number: 7762083
    Abstract: In a gas turbine plant and a gas turbine power generator plant, as a device of reducing the heat transfer from the gas turbine to the compressor, for instance, an air flow path for circulating part of compressed air from the compressor toward the gas turbine is formed between the gas turbine and the compressor. With the air flow path, which is a heat transfer reducing device, the heat conducted from the gas turbine to the compressor can be reduced by cooling or interception, and accordingly the temperature on the compressor side does not rise high, making it possible to prevent the performance of the compressor from deteriorating.

  • Patent number: 7334993
    Abstract: A gas turbine rotor blade capable of effectively reducing creep damage by forming a cooling through hole to cool a target area in which significant creep damage of a shroud cover is predicted based on analysis of stress and temperature acting on the gas turbine rotor blade. A gas turbine using the rotor blade, and a power plant using the gas turbine are also provided. The gas turbine rotor blade includes a blade section provided with a shroud cover at an outer peripheral end thereof, and a platform, a shank and a dovetail which are formed in integral structure to successively continue from the blade section. An inner cooling hole is formed to penetrate through the gas turbine rotor blade from the dovetail to the shroud cover. The shroud cover has a cooling through hole formed to open in an outer surface of the shroud cover and extend in communication with the inner cooling hole.
