  • Patent number: 11959899
    Abstract: Disclosed is a 4-method for preparing original data of an odor image includes a measurement result acquiring step of acquiring each measurement result measured with respect to the odor substance included in the sample in each of a plurality of sensor elements of an odor sensor, and a data processing step of generating the original data for representing the odor of the sample in the image by processing each of the acquired measurement results. Each of the sensor elements has different detection properties with respect to the odor substance. In a case where each of the original data items is represented in a small image, the odor of the sample is represented in an odor image in a predetermined display mode in which small images are assembled, and each of the small images is varied in accordance with the magnitude of the value of each original data item.

  • Patent number: 11936675
    Abstract: An estimation device (10) receives a device ID for identifying a device in a network and an observation event that has occurred in the device from a user terminal (20) as an input. The estimation device (10) acquires attribute information of the device corresponding to the received device ID from a device information storage unit (13c), estimates a risk that the device in the network is subject to an attack on the basis of the acquired attribute information and the received observation event, and outputs the estimated attack risk to the user terminal (20).

  • Patent number: 11892436
    Abstract: The odor exploration method explores an odor based on odor information generated using a plurality of sensor elements each outputting a detection signal according to the state of adsorption by indicating an adsorption reaction unique to each odor substance, and an arithmetic unit generating the odor information by quantifying each detection signal from the sensor elements. The method includes a detection step detecting a first gas containing odor substances, a generation step generating a first odor information group generated based on a detection result of the first gas, a preparation step preparing a second odor information group generated based on a detection of a second gas, and a calculation step calculating a sum of or a difference between the second odor information group and the first odor information group based on a sum of or difference between the odor information generated for the first gas and for the second gas using the same sensor element.
