Abstract: A printing apparatus having high operability of initial installation work for a user, which takes the user's behavior at the time of initial installation of the printing apparatus into account. The printing apparatus is capable of detect start of paper loading operation, detect end of the paper loading operation, and display more detailed guide information than guide summary information when the start of the paper loading operation is detected at the time of the initial installation of the printing apparatus. The printing apparatus controls, after the display of the guide information is started, to start printing in a case where the end of the paper loading operation is detected, and not to start printing in a case where the end of the paper loading operation is not detected.

Abstract: A master node is connected to a communication apparatus together with a secondary node using dual connectivity. The master node comprises a controller having a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity and a first radio link control (RLC) entity, the PDCP entity outputting a PDCP protocol data unit (PDU) to the first RLC entity and outputting a duplication of the PDCP PDU to a second RLC entity of the secondary node. The PDCP entity deactivates the duplication of the PDCU PDU for the second RLC entity in a case where a secondary cell group associated with the secondary node is deactivated.

The user equipment comprises: a controller having a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity associated with a split bearer, a primary radio link control (RLC) entity associated with the PDCP entity, and a secondary RLC entity associated with the PDCP entity; and a receiver configured to receive, from the master node, an RRC message including information for configuring an ID of a cell group associated with the primary RLC entity as an ID of the MCG in a case where the SCG is deactivated. The PDCP entity outputs a PDCP protocol data unit (PDU) to the primary RLC entity in a case where a total volume of a PDCP data volume and an RLC data volume for which initial transmission is suspended is smaller than a threshold.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a mirror device, the method includes a first step of preparing a wafer having a support layer, a device layer, and an intermediate layer; a second step of forming a slit in the wafer such that the movable portion becomes movable with respect to the base portion by removing a part of each of the support layer, the device layer, and the intermediate layer from the wafer and forming a plurality of parts each corresponding to the structure in the wafer, after the first step; a third step of performing wet cleaning using a cleaning liquid after the second step; and a fourth step of cutting out each of the plurality of parts from the wafer after the third step. In the second step, a part of the intermediate layer is removed from the wafer by anisotropic etching.

Abstract: A gating camera divides a field of view in a depth direction into multiple slices, and generates multiple slice images that correspond to the multiple slices. An illumination apparatus emits illumination light. A camera controller controls a light emission timing of the illumination apparatus and an exposure timing of an image sensor so as to generate slice images from a near slice to a farther slice. An arithmetic processing device judges whether a road surface appears for each of the slice images generated in sequence. Processing for a row judged to include a road surface in a given slice is simplified at the time of sensing of a slice farther than the given slice.
