  • Publication number: 20080065305
    Abstract: The invention provides a traction control system and sensor unit thereof which easily and highly accurately senses accelerations generated vertically, longitudinally and laterally in a wheel to control the drive of the vehicle. A sensor unit provided with an acceleration sensor sensing accelerations generated in association with rotation in the X, Y and Z directions including the rotation direction is disposed in a body of rotation of a rotation mechanism section including each tire NO, and the sensing result, a digital value, is transmitted as digital data by use of radio wave. The digital data is received by a monitor apparatus disposed in each tire house and is subjected to arithmetic processing. The acceleration value thus obtained is outputted to a drive control unit.

  • Publication number: 20070219915
    Abstract: Disclosure of information is controlled selectively depending on users such that a plurality of users having different roles bearing no inclusive relation with one another can access the same area. Content is divided into a plurality of areas. For each of the areas obtained by division, secret keys (encryption/decryption keys in symmetric-key cryptography) are generated. The generated keys are encrypted using public keys in public-key cryptography, which are set in advance for the users depending on their respective roles. In the case where the content is to be disclosed to a plurality of users having different roles, the encryption of secret keys is performed separately for each user. These encrypted contents and encrypted secret keys are used to generate encrypted text.

  • Publication number: 20070205880
    Abstract: A transponder which does not require a power source used in an in-wheel motor system and a wheel therewith. The transponder comprises a data transmit/receive antenna, a data transmit/receive section, a sensor circuit, and a sensor power circuit. The sensor power circuit is constituted of a rectification circuit (energy converting means), a storage device and a charging coil and the input side of the rectification circuit is connected to a charging coil and the output side of the rectification circuit is connected to the storage device. The transponder is mounted on a motor rotor provided on an internal surface of a rim section in a tire constituting the wheel, and the charging coil is fixed so as to penetrate through a magnetic field produced by a motor stator.

  • Publication number: 20070205691
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a power generating device which makes it possible to easily generate electric power in a rotating system, such as a wheel including a tire, without impairing the performance and reliability of the rotating system. In the case where the power generating device 10 is mounted to a rotating body such as a tire, the direction of gravity applied to a weight 113 is changed with the rotation of the rotating body to cause beams 111 to be deflected, so that the positions of the deflected beams 111 and the weight 113 are fluctuated in synchronization with the period of the rotation to cause the position of a coil 121 to be displaced. Thereby, the weight 113 is vibrated in the vertical direction in synchronization with the period of the rotation of the rotating body to change the magnetic flux density crossing the coil 121. As a result, AC electromotive forces are generated in the coil 121 to enable electric power to be generated.

  • Publication number: 20070106908
    Abstract: A need exists for a technology for guaranteeing the authenticity of an electronic document, and an information disclosure system, which can guarantee the authenticity of a disclosed document and delete information regarded as inappropriate for disclosure. An electronic document is divided into components, and a random number generated from a seed value is concatenated to each of the components. A hash value is calculated for each of the components with which the random numbers have been concatenated. The calculated hash values are further concatenated using a hash function to generate data to which an digital signature is applied.

  • Publication number: 20060117183
    Abstract: An original signature can be verified even if a signed image data is properly altered in its portion. The digital image data is divided into a plurality of configurational elements, and each of the feature values of the elements are calculated, so that the signature is created by combining the feature values. In case the configurational elements are to be deleted, they are substituted by substitutive data, and only the feature values are stored. The verification is created by using the stored feature values as the substituted elements and by using the calculated feature values as the remaining elements, so that the signature is verified with the signature attached to the digital image data.

  • Publication number: 20050257069
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to allow cipher strength evaluation when available resources such as the complexity and the number of plaintext available for decryption have conditions, and to allow comparison of cipher strength under given conditions. The invention combines the exhaustive search with an algebraic method, sets conditions for resources such as the complexity and the number of plaintext available for decryption beforehand, and utilizes the linear dependency of a decryption equation for use in decryption to optimize a decryption method as the maximum number of available plaintext is secured. Thus, it reduces the complexity and allows efficient search of solutions for the decryption equation.
