Abstract: A motor control device with which both high-accuracy current detection and improvement in voltage utilization factor are achieved is provided. When an ON time of any one of low potential side switching elements corresponding to respective phases in a driving circuit is shorter than a detection time of a current value, a microcomputer estimates a phase current value of a current undetectable phase based on current values of two phases other than the current undetectable phase corresponding to the said FET. Then, at the time of current detection using the blind correction, during current detection for two phases, other than the current undetectable phase, based on which the blind correction is performed, motor control signals for maintaining switching states of a switching arm corresponding to the current undetectable phase are output.

Abstract: Each of ECUs counts the number of messages transmitted for each of CAN IDs. A transmission node that has transmitted a main message produces an MAC from a data field and the CAN ID in the main message and a counter value corresponding to the CAN ID, and transmits the MAC as an MAC message. A reception node that has received the main message produces an MAC from the data field and the CAN ID contained in the main message and the counter value corresponding to the CAN ID, and determines whether the MAC matches the MAC contained in the MAC message. By so doing, verification whether the main message is valid or not can be made. According to this configuration, message authentication by the MAC can be made without changing a CAN protocol.

Abstract: A rotation angle sensor outputs detection signals based on a rotation angle of a rotary shaft. The detection signals that are output from the rotation angle sensor include first to fourth detection signals that sinusoidally change with the rotation angle of the rotary shaft and that are different in phase from one another. Here, a phase difference between the first detection signal and the second detection signal and a phase difference between the third detection signal and the fourth detection signal are each set to 90°. In addition, a phase difference between the first detection signal and the third detection signal and a phase difference between the second detection signal and the fourth detection signal are each set to 45°.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, when sending a transmission target main data 21, an authentication-tag generator unit 13 generates an authentication tag 23 by using a main data 21 and a key data 22 stored in a key-data storage unit 12. A transmitter/receiver unit 14 adds the authentication tag 23 to the main data 32 sends as a transmission data. When receiving the received data 24a, the transmitter/receiver unit 14 divides the received data into a main data 21a and an authentication tag 23a. The authentication-tag generator unit 13 generates an authentication tag 23b for comparison. A received-data authentication unit 15 determines whether or not those the received authentication tag 23a and the authentication tag for comparison 23b match with each other. A different key data is used every time upon the authentication-tag generation and use time of each key data during a set period is restricted.

Abstract: Each of a plurality of contents supply systems connected to a single user apparatus uses a group management method that employs flexible and unique tree structures. A manager in each contents supply system uses a system apparatus key distributed by a key management organization to generate a public list that corresponds to a unique tree structure, and releases the public list when the contents supply system is constructed. The user apparatus stores only an apparatus key corresponding to a leaf of the tree structure. Using the public list, which is released via a web page, package media or the like, the user apparatus reconstructs the tree sequentially from the leaf up, and derives a node key corresponding to the user apparatus. The user apparatus then decrypts an encrypted content using the derived node key.
