Abstract: The communication terminals each includes a communication controller for identifying the communication terminal to be reconnected as a communication destination after an inter-terminal connection is disrupted. The communication controller includes a first table and a second table. The first table is configured to, while placing a highest priority on the communication terminal most recently connected before the inter-terminal connection is disrupted, place a first connection priority on the other communication terminals according as a connection order in a direction of going back in time. The second table is configured to place a second connection priority on the other communication terminals by each device function thereof. The communication controller identifies, as the communication terminal to be reconnected as the communication destination, a communication terminal with the first connection priority ranked highest among the other communication terminals with the second connection priority ranked highest.

Abstract: The data to be supposed to be processed by a microcontroller unit (MCU) of the near-field wireless communication module in a wireless device is processed by a digital signal processor (DSP) of the module instead of the MCU in order to expedite processing of commands.

Abstract: A wireless apparatus has a wireless device and a communication terminal. When an instruction associated with a first function of the wireless device is inputted, the communication terminal transmits the inputted instruction to the wireless device through near-field wireless communication. The wireless device performs data communication with the communication terminal. The wireless device, when the instruction is received through the near-field wireless communication, interprets the instruction as an instruction associated with a second function of the wireless device that differs from the first function, and accordingly controls the second function.

Abstract: A semiconductor device manufacturing method includes loading plural dry-etched wafers one by one in a container having a side door so as to be disposed substantially horizontally and in layers vertically therein; and blowing out a purge gas horizontally to those wafers loaded in the container for 30 sec or more after all the subject wafers are loaded in the container while the side door is open.

Abstract: A receiver according to the present invention has a reception unit which receives reception signals; a storage unit which stores a band table, in which a plurality of frequency bands serving as scanning targets are registered so that the frequency bands correspond to band identifiers, respectively, and a link table, in which any number of the band identifiers registered in the band table are registered so that the band identifiers correspond to a link identifier; a control unit which, when the link identifier is specified, refers to the band table and the link table, obtains the frequency bands corresponding to the link identifier, carries out scanning within the frequency band for each of the frequency bands, and sequentially sets reception frequencies of the reception signals; and a frequency synthesizer.
