Patent number: 10484184Abstract: A vehicle system includes a master ECU and a general ECU. The general ECU attaches a digital signature to transmission data including data (for example, a digest value of a program) and transmits the transmission data to the master ECU. The master ECU verifies the digital signature and the data and, when both the digital signature and the data are valid, determines that the general ECU is valid. The master ECU attaches a digital signature to transmission data including data of the master ECU and a session key and transmits the transmission data to the general ECU. The general ECU verifies the digital signature and the data and, when both the digital signature and the data are valid, the general ECU uses the session key included in the transmission data as a common key when performing subsequent communications.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2016Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hisashi Oguma, Tsuyoshi Toyama

Patent number: 5262984Abstract: The input data comprising binary data to be stored are converted into multi-state data. A voltage of a level based on the converted multi-state data is applied to a source region to perform write operation to a memory transistor. As a result, the threshold voltage of the transistor is set to a value corresponding to the potential of the source region. In read operation a drain current generated in the memory transistor is detected and the multi-state data corresponding to the current are obtained. These multi-state data are converted into binary data to be outputted as output data.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 1989Date of Patent: November 16, 1993Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kenji Noguchi, Shinichi Kobayashi, Tsuyoshi Toyama

Patent number: 4827452Abstract: A semiconductor memory device comprises a main memory 101 and a spare memory 102. When a part of the memory cells of the main memory 101 are defective, these defective memory cells are replaced by memory cells in the spare memory 102. The space memory 102 is decoded by the decoder circuit 104. The decoder circuit 104 is capable of decoding the spare memory 102 using a signal of an instruction memory 107. The instruction memory 107 is selectively enabled or disabled by an instruction control circuit 108. Consequently, in a state in which the instruction memory 107 is disabled by the control circuit 108, a spare memory selection signal is not provided from the instruction memory 107 to the decoder circuit 104 and the semiconductor memory device normally decodes the main memory including defective memory cells. As a result, the addresses and the like of the defective memory cells can be determined.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1986Date of Patent: May 2, 1989Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tsuyoshi Toyama, Kenji Kohda, Toshihiro Koyama
