This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to vehicle security enhancement. For example, a vehicle may receive a plurality of data values from an onboard diagnostic system (OBD) of a vehicle, wherein a first data value is received from a first sensor of the vehicle and a second data value is received from a second sensor of the vehicle. The vehicle may determine a third data value received from a controller area network (CAN) bus of the vehicle. The vehicle may determine the third data value is associated with a false message originating from a device external to the vehicle based on performing a correlation analysis between the first value, the second value and the third value. The vehicle may discard the third data value based on the correlation analysis.

20210119406 · 2021-04-22 ·

A multi-module fiber laser capable of monitoring abnormalities of optical modules in real time. In the multi-module fiber laser, the CAN bus is employed to directly obtain whether each of the slave control modules or the master control module is in normal working condition, so that the CAN bus is at the status level corresponding to whether all modules are in normal working state, namely, the CAN bus that is configured to transmit the light control signal issued by the master control module. The status level of the slave control module or the combiner module is also transmitted via the CAN bus, so that all the slave control modules can quickly put themselves in the corresponding working state according to the status level of the CAN bus.
