Abstract: An exposure management system includes dosimeters, wireless relay devices that wirelessly communicate with the dosimeters, and a monitoring device. The dosimeters are carried by workers for measuring exposure doses in a radiation management facility. The wireless relay devices transmit a monitor indication message that requests the dosimeters to provide respective responses that include information of measured exposure doses. The wireless relay devices receive the responses from the dosimeters by using allocated respective communication channels that are different from each other. Each dosimeter receives the monitoring indication message and generates a designated number of response times for providing a response to the monitor indication message, and determines a communication channel corresponding to each of the generated response times. The monitoring device is connected to the wireless relay devices for monitoring an exposure state of each of the workers through the wireless relay devices and dosimeters.

Abstract: A base station apparatus acquires, when a handover from a first device in a base station apparatus to a second device in the base station apparatus occurs, handover source information related to data received by the first device after the handover. The base station apparatus calculates a time taken to transfer the data from the first device to the second device based on the acquired handover source information. The base station apparatus transfers the data during the calculated time.

Abstract: An inspection region of a mask is virtually divided by stripes, and a pattern on a position error correcting unit is also virtually divided by stripes. Then, a stage is moved such that all the stripes of both the mask and the position error correcting unit are continuously scanned, so that optical images of these stripes are acquired. Fluctuation values of position coordinates of the patterns formed on the position error correcting unit are acquired from the optical images of the position error correcting unit. Based upon the fluctuation values, fluctuation values of the position coordinates of the respective patterns in the inspection region of the mask are obtained so that the position coordinates are corrected. Thereafter, a map is generated from the fluctuation values of the position coordinates of the respective patterns in the inspection region of the mask.
