  • Publication number: 20240290142
    Abstract: A method creates determination spaces for determining a road surface state of a road surface on which a vehicle is running from output waveform data obtained by measuring changes in a physical quantity of a tire of the vehicle during the running using information regarding road surfaces and the output waveform data. The method includes obtaining the output waveform data in a plurality of different road surface states and a running condition at times of measurement of the output waveform data, classifying the output waveform data into a plurality of groups on a basis of the running condition, performing, for each group, machine learning using training data where the output waveform data is associated with information regarding the road surface states, and creating the determination space corresponding to the group.

  • Patent number: 8126444
    Abstract: In a TCP/UDP communication system, a communication process begins with a receipt of a communication request from an application program that does not specify a predetermined communication parameter such as source port number. A port number is dynamically assigned to the communication request. The communication process is then suspended and communication control data associated with the application program is supplemented with the assigned source port number to generate supplemented communication control data. The communication process is then resumed to establish communication over a communications network, and the established communication is controlled according to the supplemented communication control data.

  • Publication number: 20100325077
    Abstract: Provided is an operating system enabling, in an application formed of a plurality of programs including a library program, a rule to be applied that enables determination whether to allow processing of a system call called by the application. An address on a memory into which a program is loaded is stored so as to be correlated with the program as an address range set, each program is loaded into a memory in the processing of starting an application to store an address range set in an address range set storing unit, upon receiving a call-up of a system call from the application, various kinds of processing are executed, and an operation rule which describes allowance/non-allowance of use of a system call by a program forming the application is stored to determine, based on an operation rule corresponding to a program of a calling source of the system call, whether to execute processing called by a system call processing unit.

  • Patent number: 7762460
    Abstract: The service terminal 1 which contains bar code reader 2, RF-ID reader 3 and information processing block is moved to a medium containing the bar code and RF-ID tag. Both of the bar code reader 2 and RF-ID reader 3 are set to the positions that information can be read from the bar code and RF-ID tag. In this case, the information processing block controls the bar code reader 2 and RF-ID reader 3 to read information from the bar code and RF-ID tag.

  • Patent number: 7610632
    Abstract: Before providing a software body I, a determination program I is prepared to determine whether a software body II should be authenticated for combination and use with the software body I, and is provided with the software body I. A platform executes the determination program I before the platform employs the software body I with the software body II, and only when the determination results represent the permission for combination and use, the platform permits the software II to be combined and used with the software body I.

  • Publication number: 20080232402
    Abstract: Suspendable candidate link group determining device 204 determines a suspendable candidate link group consisting of communication links whose communication in an upper layer is suspended, and outputs it. Link-incapable-of-handling-suspension excluding device 205 removes a communication link to an adjacent relay apparatus incapable of handling a suspended status from the communication link group of suspendable candidates output by the suspendable candidate link group determining device 204 based on information stored in link suspension manager 203, to obtain a communication link group to be suspended, and outputs information indicating the communication link group to be suspended. Suspension device 206 releases communication resources for a lower layer for each communication link for the communication link group to be suspended, which is indicated by information output from the link-incapable-of-handling-suspension excluding device 205.
