  • Publication number: 20160217023
    Abstract: In an in-vehicle network system (100), a parent control unit (10) and a child control unit (20) constitute a control unit. In the in-vehicle network system (100), a monitoring unit (70) acquires communication data being communicated between the parent control unit (10) and the child control unit (20) and flowing in an in-vehicle network (30) which connects the parent control unit (10) and the child control unit (20) to each other. The monitoring unit (70) diagnoses an abnormality in the parent control unit (10) based on the communication data acquired by the monitoring unit (70) and diagnostic data stored by a memory unit.

  • Publication number: 20160055074
    Abstract: An application list reading part 220 reads an application list 122. An application collecting part 230 acquires a source code 111 of an installed application indicated by the application list 122. The application collecting part 230 also acquires a source code 111 of an additional application. A program analyzing part 240 performs program analysis concerning a new execution program 123 using the source codes 111. If a bug will not occur in the new execution program 123, a program creating part 250 creates a new execution program 123. Then, a program updating part 260 writes the new execution program 123 to an electronic control device 121 and adds an additional application name to the application list 122.

  • Publication number: 20150372837
    Abstract: Control information from a plurality of applications 1000 is written into a shared memory 101 as needed. A communication part 105 transmits the control information written in the shared memory 101 to a DHM 200 in each transmission cycle which is constant. In a management table, a plurality of allowable delay times is defined, the allowable delay time being a delay time allowable at an urgent transmission of the control information. A transmission timing notification part 106 divides a transmission cycle into time slots each of which is equal to or shorter than the shortest allowable delay time defined in the management table. The communication part 105 transmits the control information in the shared memory 101 to the DHM 200 before arrival of the transmission cycle, in a unit of time slot.

  • Publication number: 20150355917
    Abstract: A communication unit receives from a BCM output data which is data to I/O devices from the BCM. A shared memory stores the output data received by the communication unit. An anomaly detection communication processing unit and the communication unit generate a communication frame for anomaly detection to request sending the output data held in the BCM. The communication unit sends the communication frame for the anomaly detection to the BCM, and receives the output data held in the BCM from the BCM as a response to the communication frame for the anomaly detection. The anomaly detection checking unit compares the output data received from the BCM with the output data stored in the shared memory.

  • Patent number: 7923929
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a photomultiplier having a structure that enables to perform high gain and satisfy higher required characteristics. In the photomultiplier, an electron-multiplying unit accommodated in a sealed container comprises a focusing electrode, an accelerating electrode, a dynode unit, and an anode. Particularly, at least the accelerating electrode and dynode unit are held unitedly in a state that at least a first-stage dynode and a second-stage included in the dynode unit are opposite directly to the accelerating electrode not through a conductive material. A conventional metal disk for supporting directly dynodes which are set to the same potential as that of the first-stage dynode is not placed between the accelerating electrode and dynode unit; thus, variations of the transit time of electrons may be drastically reduced while the electrons reach from the cathode to the second-stage dynode via the first-stage dynode.

  • Patent number: 7855510
    Abstract: A photomultiplier tube includes: a cathode, a plurality of dynodes, and an electron lens forming electrode. The cathode emits electrons in response to incident light. The plurality of dynodes multiplies electrons emitted from the cathode. The electron lens forming the electrode is disposed in a prescribed position in relation to an edge of a first dynode positioned in a first stage from the cathode and an edge of a second dynode positioned in a second stage from the cathode, and smoothes an equipotential surface in a space between the first dynode and the second dynode along a longitudinal direction of the first dynode. This structure improves time resolution in response to incident light.

  • Patent number: 7821203
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a photomultiplier that realizes significant improvement of response time properties with a structure enabling mass production. The photomultiplier comprises a sealed container, and the sealed container includes a hollow body section, extending along a tube axis, and a faceplate. The faceplate has a light incidence surface and a light emission surface on which a photocathode is formed. In particular, the light emission surface is constituted by a flat region, and a curved-surface processed region that is positioned at a periphery of the flat region and that includes edges of the light emission surface. A surface shape of the peripheral region of the light emission surface of the faceplate is thus intentionally changed in order to adjust the angles of emission of photoelectrons from the photocathode positioned at the peripheral region.
