Abstract: An overcurrent protection device includes a first input terminal, a second input terminal, a first output terminal, a second output terminal, a breaker, a current sensor, and a comparator. A positive terminal and a negative terminal of a power source are connected to the first input terminal and the second input terminal. The second output terminal is connected to the second input terminal. The breaker includes a switch connected between the first input terminal and the first output terminal and opening upon reception of an interrupt command signal. The current sensor measures a difference between a current flowing between the first input terminal and the first output terminal, and a current flowing between the second input terminal and the second output terminal. The comparator sends the interrupt command signal to the breaker when a measurement value of the current sensor exceeds a first current threshold value.

Abstract: Provided is a tensor data calculation device that includes a matrix product calculation processor and decomposes N-th order (N is an integer of 2 or more) non-negative tensor data into N factor matrices by factorization. The tensor data calculation device includes: a factorization means that represents update formulae of the factor matrices for optimizing a prescribed objective function value in a format that includes a matrix product of a first matrix obtained by expanding other N?1 factor matrices other than the factor matrices by a Kronecker product and a second matrix defined by a tensor product of the non-negative tensor data and the N factor matrices and calculate the update formulae; and a matrix calculation means that calculates the matrix products included in the update formulae with the aid of the matrix product calculation processor. The factorization means calculates the update formulae using calculation results of the matrix products calculated by the matrix calculation means.

Abstract: It is possible to perform factorization at high speed while maintaining consistency. Based on each of the plurality of tensors, a graph is constructed in which a plurality of factor matrices obtained by decomposing the tensors are set as vertices, and the vertices of factor matrices obtained by decomposing a same tensor are connected by edges. Assigning a number to each vertex of the graph is assigning the number so that the same number is not assigned to the other vertex connected by an edge. An order of updating the factor matrices is determined in a manner that factor matrices assigned a same number are set as a set of factor matrices to be subjected to parallel processing. Updating the factor matrices, based on the plurality of tensors, in the order of updating is repeatedly updating the set of factor matrices to be subjected to parallel processing in parallel.
