Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a communication method, a transceiver, a relay, a communication system, and a program capable of performing high-speed communication even in a case where there is an obstacle between two separated points in water. An object of the present invention is to provide a communication method, a transceiver, a relay, a communication system, and a program capable of performing high-speed communication even in a case where there is an obstacle between two separated points in water. In this communication method, two points each confirm the other's position by using sound wave communication which is likely to be diffracted as a wave due to a relatively small frequency and a large wavelength. Since the communication method uses optical wireless communication in which straightness is high but high-speed communication is possible, a relay capable of forming a path for communication while avoiding an obstacle is selected from a plurality of relays. In this communication method, signals are transmitted and received by using optical wireless communication using a relay on the path.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to technology for correcting a regular expression that is vulnerable to ReDoS attacks. The purpose of the present disclosure is to ensure that a correction result having, as a subject, a regular expression including real-world extensions is not vulnerable while minimizing memory consumption. For the aforementioned purpose, a correction device 30 carries out an iterative deepening depth-first search to thereby correct an inputted regular expression to a form that satisfies RWS1U (prohibits the same characters from appearing consecutively) by using the regular expression, a positive example, and a negative example, and then output the corrected regular expression. It is expected that this will make it possible to support development of a program that is safe against ReDoS in more scenarios.

Abstract

When a CRAM error detection unit (12c) detects a one-bit soft error of a CRAM (12b), a failure management unit (16) performs control for coping with a failure in a downstream side communication device (14) with an error notification (ER1) as a trigger. A failure detection sensitivity of a failure detection unit (15) is temporarily increased compared to a steady state. Or an upstream side communication device (11) retransmits an original communication signal (SG1). Or a known test signal is transmitted from the upstream side communication device (11) before retransmission, and the failure is diagnosed on the downstream side, and then the test signal is retransmitted. Alternatively, a signal is processed by two communication paths to select a signal without an error, and an erroneous signal is discarded. When a failure is detected, a device is restarted. It is possible to find a failure in an early stage to prevent a silent failure or to shorten a time until recovery of service or to suppress an occurrence of a failure by taking measures with the detection of a CRAM error as a trigger.
