Patent number: 7956800Abstract: A mobile communication terminal 10A, in a process of acquiring assistance information in advance for using for a GPS position measuring at step S10, makes a judgment of whether or not the assistance information is to be acquired, prior to the GPS position measuring command by a user. When a result of this judgment is affirmative, the terminal 10A transmits an assistance information request to a position measuring assistance server 50. When the assistance information is returned from the position measuring assistance server 50 in response to this the assistance information request, in the cellular phone 10A, the assistance information is received and stored, and then prepared for a command for position measuring by the user, for which possibility of being made is higher in a short period. As a result, it is possible to perform quickly the position measuring of a current location of the mobile communication terminal.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2007Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Vodafone Group PLCInventors: Masanori Fujiwara, Satoshi Miyata, Seiichi Kawakami, Jun Sakamoto, Kazuya Kawakami, Atsushi Wada

Publication number: 20020127852Abstract: Disclosed is a technique capable of suppressing the damage of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus due to the breakage or the crack to the minimum by surely detecting the breakage or the crack on a part of a wafer in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus of a multi-chamber system. An entire image of a wafer is photographed by a camera in each time when the wafer is processed, and the photographed image is processed by a discrimination unit, thereby determining the presence of the breakage or the crack on the wafer. When the breakage or the crack is detected, an error signal is transmitted from the discrimination unit to a computer that controls the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, and the operations of the process chamber and the transport chamber used immediately before the detection of the breakage or the crack on the wafer are stopped.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2002Publication date: September 12, 2002Inventors: Kazuya Kawakami, Yukihiro Suzuki, Ken Okutani, Susumu Kajita, Takeshi Hashimoto
