20090017767 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD - This invention is characterized by a communication system comprising a station with a diversity function and an access point. The station notifies the access point that the station is in a power saving mode during antenna evaluation and, when the antenna evaluation is complete, notifies the access point of the end of the power saving mode. When recognizing that the station is in the power saving mode, the access point stops transmitting the data packet. Thus, the situation in which when a diversity function executes an antenna evaluation process, repetition of retransmission of a data packet, thereby disconnecting communication, is avoided. | 01-15-2009 |

20110188421 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION METHOD - Power saving cannot be implemented in the adhoc mode by only the IEEE 802.11 standard. This is because communication partners mutually utilize the power save mode in the adhoc mode, and their states must always be managed. In the adhoc mode, the number of communication partners is not always one, and all stations which join a network are candidates, increasing the load of implementation. To solve this problem, a communication apparatus notifies a change to power save mode by an ATIM packet, RTS packet, or null packet. When the ATIM packet or RTS packet is transmitted, the communication apparatus can notify the partner of a change in mode regardless of whether the partner is in the power save mode. When the null packet is transmitted, the communication apparatus can rapidly notify the partner without waiting for any beacon. | 08-04-2011 |

20100221895 | SURFACE TREATMENT APPARATUS AND SURFACE TREATMENT METHOD - HF-originated radicals generated in a plasma-forming chamber are fed to a treatment chamber via feed holes, while HF gas molecules as the treatment gas are supplied to the treatment chamber from near the radical feed holes to suppress the excitation energy, thereby increasing the selectivity to Si to remove a native oxide film. Even with the dry-treatment, the surface treatment provides good surface flatness equivalent to that obtained by the wet-cleaning which requires high-temperature treatment, and further attains growth of Si single crystal film on the substrate after the surface treatment. The surface of formed Si single crystal film has small quantity of impurities of oxygen, carbon, and the like. After sputtering Hf and the like onto the surface of the grown Si single crystal film, oxidation and nitrification are applied thereto to form a dielectric insulation film such as HfO thereon, thus forming a metal electrode film. All through the above steps, the substrate is not exposed to atmospheric air, thereby suppressing the adsorption of impurities onto the interface, and thus obtaining a C-V curve with small hysteresis. As a result, good device characteristics are obtained in MOS-FET. | 09-02-2010 |
