  • Publication number: 20220038650
    Abstract: Power consumption of an imaging element which outputs only a region of interest (ROI) at high resolution is reduced. In a two-dimensional pixel array in which pixel rows arranged in a predetermined direction are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction, the imaging element performs imaging at high resolution for a first pixel row including a predetermined region and performs imaging at low resolution for a second pixel row other than this. The first image processing unit generates an image of a predetermined region on the basis of an imaging signal of the first pixel row. A pixel adding unit performs an adding process between pixels on the imaging signal of the first pixel row to make resolution the same as resolution of the imaging signal of the second pixel row. The second image processing unit generates an image of an entire region on the basis of the imaging signal of the second pixel row and the imaging signal of the first pixel row subjected to the adding process.

  • Patent number: 9065728
    Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for failure analysis are provided. Using aggregation flow mining (AFM) or a similar method, an integrated mining of flow (IMF) acquires, from each router to be tested, information relating to each flow. The IMF, in relation to each of the routers, obtains distributions of statistical information such as throughput or difference for each flow; calculates, in relation to each of the distributions, a Mahalanobis distance in relation to the expected value of a reference distribution; and makes a comprehensive assessment of the distributions to perform a fault determination. When the fault determination is performed, a normal value of the distribution used for comparison is acquired from AFM and updated through feedback as needed. After the results of fault determination relating to other routers are assessed, the expected value of the standard deviation and the average value of the reference distribution used for comparison are updated.

  • Publication number: 20130329571
    Abstract: Conventional network tomography techniques do not allow the location or cause of a failure to be specified, and false positives are common due to lack of information. Using aggregation flow mining (AFM) or a similar method, an IMF (102) acquires, from each router (105) to be tested, information in relation to each flow. The IMF, in relation to each of the routers, obtains distributions of statistical information such as throughput or difference for each flow; calculates, in relation to each of the distributions, a Mahalanobis distance in relation to the expected value of a reference distribution; and makes a comprehensive assessment of the distributions to perform a fault determination. When the fault determination is performed, a normal value of the distribution used for comparison is acquired from AFM and updated through feedback as needed.

  • Patent number: 7379454
    Abstract: A packet routing apparatus has a routing information table comprised of a plurality of sub-tables. Each sub-table includes an entry of a first format indicative of routing information, and at least one of the sub-tables includes, in addition to the entry of the first format, an entry of a second format for designating another sub-table to be referred to. A routing processor of the packet routing apparatus refers to a sub-table designated by an input line interface. As a result, when the entry of the second format is retrieved, the routing processor executes routing of an input packet and header conversion by referring to another sub-table designated by the entry.
