  • Publication number: 20240138812
    Abstract: An ultrasonic wave generation device including: an ultrasonic wave generation source; an ultrasonic wave condensation part; and a waveguide. The ultrasonic wave condensation part has a first reflection surface opposed to the ultrasonic wave generation source and a second reflection surface opposed to the first reflection surface. The first reflection surface reflects the ultrasonic wave, generated from the ultrasonic wave generation source, toward the second reflection surface. The second reflection surface reflects the ultrasonic wave, which has been reflected by the first reflection surface, toward the waveguide so as to introduce the ultrasonic wave into the waveguide. The waveguide protrudes from the first reflection surface to a side opposite the second reflection surface. A recessed portion is formed from the first reflection surface to the second reflection surface side along an outer circumferential surface of the waveguide.

  • Publication number: 20240119866
    Abstract: To calculate PageRank with high accuracy using transaction data held by a plurality of data sources as input and keeping the transaction data of each data source secret. A data source apparatus (1) calculates a transaction rate for each combination of transaction entities (S12). The data source apparatus (1) encrypts the transaction rate and transmits the encrypted transaction rate to each secure computation apparatus (2) (S13). Each secure computation apparatus (2) receives a ciphertext of the transaction rate from a plurality of data source apparatuses (1) (S21). The secure computation apparatus (2) securely calculates a ciphertext which becomes, when decrypted, PageRank of the computational objective transaction entity by using the ciphertext of the transaction rate related to the computational objective transaction entity and the ciphertext of the PageRank of a transaction counterpart (S22).
