Abstract: A judgment unit determines that a low-priority time period during which transmission of frames by a node is set to be of low priority has ended. Upon receiving a notification of the end of the low-priority time period, an initial value change unit changes an initial value of a range that a waiting time can take to a value larger than a value of a normal time. A range determination unit determines the range using the changed initial value. A waiting time determination unit determines the waiting time from the determined range. A transmission unit waits for the determined waiting time and then starts transmitting the frames.

Abstract: A three-dimensional image display method includes the following. A display device coordinate system is established.

Coordinates of a reference point of the first volume data are aligned with a reference point in the display device coordinate system, so that the multiple first coordinates of the multiple voxels of the first volume data are converted to the display device coordinate system to generate second volume data. A plurality of pieces of sampling data of a plurality of pixels corresponding to the display device are determined according to a plurality of light projection paths, so as to generate display data. An image is displayed according to the display data through the display device, and the image is viewed by human eyes as a 3D object image.

Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a support tray that is configured in such a manner that a residual liquid getting in between a lower surface of a substrate and a substrate facing surface of the support tray is trapped in a groove. The support tray further includes a discharge part through which the residual liquid trapped in the groove is discharged from the groove through a discharge part. As a result, backflow of the residual liquid is prevented effectively, thereby preventing re-adhesion of the residual liquid to the upper surface of the substrate.
