  • Publication number: 20230420244
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for the preparation of a silicon nitrogeneous film. Polysilazane film is exposed to an electron beam irradiation and subsequently to at least one process selected from the group consisting of a vacuum ultra-violet light irradiation and a plasma processing. The treated film is heated under a non-oxidizing atmosphere to manufacture a silicon nitrogeneous film. The silicon nitrogeneous film is able to be formed at low process temperature. Further, the silicon nitrogeneous film has a high refractive index and low oxygen content.

  • Patent number: 8094601
    Abstract: Problems can be solved by a base station to which a location of a mobile station is registered and which performs a radio communication with the MS, and when receiving distribution information, divides the distribution information into N pieces, and incorporates the divided distribution information in N pieces of reception channels to successively transmit them to the MS. It can be achieved by a MS which is in a waiting state of a BS and which performs a radio communication with the BS, and when receiving distribution information which is incorporated in reception channels and divided, stores the distribution information, and when determining completion of the distribution of the distribution information, constructs the N pieces of divided information and displays it.

  • Patent number: 8040854
    Abstract: In a wireless communication system wherein at least two communication units employ the TDD wireless communication method based on OFDMA, an OFDM wireless communication method and a wireless communication apparatus are disclosed. The first communication unit transmits a pilot signal over the whole subband zone configured of divisions of a predetermined system band. The second communication unit having a plurality of antennas estimates a propagation path of the subchannels constituting continuous frequency blocks making up a subband from the pilot signal received. The second communication unit determines the array weight used at the time of signal transmission to the first communication unit using the estimation result.

  • Publication number: 20110091694
    Abstract: The present invention is an electrode of an electric device, having a portion at which a pattern is formed using a photosensitive paste, and a portion at which a pattern is formed using a transfer method. Described is a method in which migration at an electrode portion is curtailed by using a photosensitive paste to form a pattern at areas where electrode width is comparatively large, and by forming a pattern using a transfer method at areas where electrode width becomes narrower.
