A wireless communication system includes a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) and an access point (AP). The AP communicates with the WTRUs via an antenna. In one embodiment, the AP configures the antenna to a wide beam configuration that covers a desired service area and transmits a Request-To-Send (RTS) control message. When the AP receives a Clear-To-Send (CTS) control message ...

A ceramic precursor (4) is formed in a gel form which is coated on an electric conductor (2). The coating is then heat treated to form ceramics.

The invention concerns a calibrator to be used for the production of extruded hollow thermoplastic profiles (1) which mainly have a rectangular cross-section, which calibrator has a stationary framework (7) which supports a large number of lamellar calibrator plates (S) which are arranged at a distance from each other in such a way that together they form a channel (K) that goes through the calibr...

The invention relates to a method for joining and/or sealing thermoplastic pipes (1 a, lb) by positioning the ends to be joined to abut each other. The invention is characterized in that a thermoplastic sheet (2) or sleeve is applied around the abutting pipe ends and welded to the pipe walls to obtain a welded pipe joint by clamping a heating band element (3) around the thermoplastic sheet (2) or ...

To provide a wafer cleaning method capable of restricting breakage of fine structures disposed on a wafer, and a spin cleaning apparatus enabling such cleaning. The spin cleaning apparatus injects a cleaning liquid on a wafer surface while moving a nozzle, and at the same time, with an ultrasonic wave generated inside the nozzle, irradiates a cleaning liquid collision spot, thereby cleaning the wa...

Film forming equipment (20) is provided with a treatment container (22), a gas supplying system for supplying the container with a treatment gas including a film forming gas, and an exhaust system for exhausting the atmosphere in the container. In the treatment container, a placing table (46) having a placing plane for placing a flat board shaped body to be treated (W) is arranged. The body to be ...

An image scanning apparatus for realizing an image on a screen includes: a spatial light modulator module for diffracting light beams having different wavelengths into relevant modes; and an iris for limiting light beams of modes except a mode of 0^th-order among the modes diffracted by the spatial light modulator module.

A coating film forming apparatus for forming a film by applying a coating solution to a substrate, which is provided with a cassette section, coating unit, developing unit, pre-treatment/post-treatment units and a main arm for transferring the substrate between the respective units. In the coating unit, provided is a coating section in which a resist is applied on the substrate in a manner of sing...
