  • Publication number: 20250036766
    Abstract: A data acquisition unit (21) acquires operation data including an influence-source object being an object which has performed an operation to influence another object, an influence-destination object being an object influenced by the operation performed by the influence-source object, and an attack probability representing a probability of the operation being an attack. A relation construction unit (22) constructs relation data when the attack probability is equal to or higher than a threshold value A, by adding a relation between the influence-source object and the influence-destination object to relation data. When an attack is detected, a specification unit (23) specifies at least either of an infected range supposed to be affected by the attack, and an intrusion route of the attack, based on the relation data.

  • Publication number: 20240186101
    Abstract: An vaporizer includes a crucible, a heater that heats the crucible, a support member that supports the crucible and includes an internal space in which a pressure in the internal space can be changed, and a control device. The control device increases the pressure of the internal space when the heating of the crucible by the heater is stopped, compared to the pressure when the crucible is heated by the heater.

  • Publication number: 20240038499
    Abstract: An ion source includes a vaporizer, a plasma chamber, and a controller. The vaporizer produces a reaction product by supplying, through a first gas supply line to a crucible in which a solid material is installed, a reactive gas that reacts with the solid material, and vaporizes the reaction product by heating the crucible with a heater. The plasma chamber is supplied with a vapor from the vaporizer through a vapor supply line, and has a second gas supply line connected to the plasma chamber separately from the vapor supply line. The controller controls the heater to heat the crucible while a gas is being supplied from the second gas supply line to the plasma chamber and stops a supply of the reactive gas through the first gas supply line to the crucible.
