Patent number: 7814223Abstract: A transmit packet generated by a CPU 1 is held in a buffer 100a (100b). From among packets received from Ethernet 820a (820b), a packet, a destination of which is a communication device 800, is held in the buffer 100a (100b). A packet which should be transmitted is transmitted from a transfer judging circuit 200 to Ethernet 820a or 820b through a MAC unit 300a or 300b. If a transfer judging circuit 200 judges a packet from the Ethernet 820a to be a packet, a destination of which is another communication device, with reference to a destination MAC address, this packet is transferred to the Ethernet 820b through MAC 300b. If a usage rate of a transferring FIFO buffer 130a (130b) exceeds a threshold value in the process of transmitting a packet held in a transmitting FIFO buffer 120a (130b) on a priority basis, the priority order of a transfer packet is made higher than that of a transmit packet so that the transfer packet is transferred to the Ethernet 820a or 820b in preference to the transmit packet.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2008Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignees: Renesas Technology Corporation, Hitachi Engineering Co., Ltd., Hitachi Information & Control Systems, Inc.Inventors: Hiroshi Arita, Yasuhiro Nakatsuka, Yasuwo Watanabe, Kei Ouchi, Yoshihiro Tanaka, Toshinobu Kanai, Masanobu Tanaka, Kenji Furuhashi, Tomoaki Aoki

Patent number: 7641867Abstract: An exhaust gas containing a perfluoride component (PFC) and SiIF4 is conducted into a silicon remover and brought into contact with water. A reaction water supplied from a water supplying piping and air supplied from an air supplying piping are mixed with the exhaust gas exhausted from the silicon remover. The exhaust gas containing water, air, and CF4 is heated at 700° C. by a heater. The exhaust gas containing PFC is conducted to a catalyst layer filled with an alumina group catalyst. The PFC is decomposed to HF and CO2 at a high temperature exhausted from the catalyst layer is cooled in a cooling apparatus. Subsequently, the exhaust gas is conducted to an acidic gas removing apparatus to remove HF. In this way, the silicon component is removed from the exhaust gas before introducing the exhaust gas into the catalyst layer. Therefore, the surface of the catalyst can be utilized effectively, and the decomposition reaction of the perfluoride compound can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2006Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Engineering Co., Ltd., Hitachi Kyowa Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuyoshi Irie, Toshihiro Mori, Hisao Yokoyama, Takayuki Tomiyama, Toshihide Takano, Shin Tamata, Shuichi Kanno
