  • Patent number: 11750424
    Abstract: An electronic control unit is mounted on a vehicle, and includes a reception unit that receives a data signal transmitted via a transmission path mounted on the vehicle; an environmental information acquisition unit that acquires environmental information of the vehicle; and a determination unit that determines the state of the transmission path, in which the reception unit includes an equalizer that compensates for the data signal, the equalizer calculates a compensation parameter for compensating for the data signal, and the determination unit determines the state of the transmission path based on the compensation parameter and the environmental information.

  • Publication number: 20230041819
    Abstract: A fuel cell system includes: a reformer which generates a reformed gas containing hydrogen by reacting hydrocarbon and moisture with each other; a fuel cell stack which generates electric energy through electrochemical reaction of the reformed gas and an oxidant; an ejector which, using steam as a drive fluid, sucks either a raw fuel containing the hydrocarbon or a recycled gas recovered from an anode exhaust gas, and supplies a resultant gas to the reformer; and a vaporizer which generates the steam by vaporizing water, wherein an operation temperature of the fuel cell stack is higher than a boiling point of water at an operation pressure, and the vaporizer generates the steam through heat exchange with the anode exhaust gas.

  • Publication number: 20230004184
    Abstract: An electronic control device is connected via a cable to each of a plurality of sensors which outputs a sensor output for each data acquisition cycle determined in advance in accordance with a clock signal. The electronic control device includes a power supply unit configured to supply power to the sensor via the cable, an acquisition unit configured to acquire a feature amount directly or indirectly indicating a magnitude of radiation noise from at least one sensor among the plurality of sensors, a phase difference decision unit configured to decide a phase difference of a data acquisition cycle for each of the plurality of sensors based on the feature amount, and a control unit configured to transmit the phase difference to each of the plurality of sensors.

  • Publication number: 20220405581
    Abstract: A neural network that can detect abnormality of itself while suppressing redundancy of a scale is realized. A neural network optimization system includes a definition data analysis unit configured to analyze learned neural network definition data, an internode dependence degree analysis unit configured to generate dependence degree information indicating an internode dependence degree in a learned neural network defined by the learned neural network definition data, based on an analysis result of the learned neural network definition data, and a sensitive node extraction unit configured to extract a sensitive node in the learned neural network based on the dependence degree information.
