  • Patent number: 9299852
    Abstract: A miniaturized semiconductor device in which an increase in power consumption is suppressed and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device are provided. A highly reliable semiconductor device having stable electric characteristics and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device are provided. An oxide semiconductor film is irradiated with ions accelerated by an electric field in order to reduce the average surface roughness of a surface of the oxide semiconductor film. Consequently, an increase in the leakage current and power consumption of a transistor can be suppressed. Moreover, by performing heat treatment so that the oxide semiconductor film includes a crystal having a c-axis substantially perpendicular to the surface of the oxide semiconductor film, a change in electric characteristics of the oxide semiconductor film due to irradiation with visible light or ultraviolet light can be suppressed.

    Abstract: A network includes first through third communication apparatuses. The second communication apparatus identifies, from packets received from the first communication apparatus, forwarding packets that are packets to be transmitted to the third communication apparatus, and measures the interval in receiving the forwarding packets. The second communication apparatus forwards the forwarding packets to the third communication apparatus. The second communication apparatus receives report information that reports the reception state of forwarding packets from the third communication apparatus, and uses the report information to select target packets that are packets for which success of reception has not been reported from the third communication apparatus in the packets that were forwarded to the third communication apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9172654
    Abstract: A transfer device increments a value of a phase ID at predetermined time intervals, and registers a packet ID of a transmitted data packet and a phase ID on a determination table in an associated manner. When having received a response packet from a receiving-side transfer device, the transfer device determines an unarrived packet on the basis of received packet IDs contained in the received response packet and packet IDs of transmitted data packets. Then, the transfer device determines whether a data packet corresponding to the unarrived packet is lost or on-the-fly from a relationship between a phase ID of the unarrived packet and the maximum phase contained in the received response packet, and retransmits the corresponding data packet only if it is lost.
