A method for expedited tunnel establishment with a non-Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) interworking gateway to access a 3GPP network is provided. A User Equipment (UE) initiates establishment of an Internet Protocol secure (IPsec) tunnel with a first non-3GPP interworking gateway associated with the 3GPP network. The UE probes availability of a second non-3GPP interworking gateway associated with the 3GPP network before the IPsec tunnel with the first non-3GPP interworking gateway is established successfully. The UE initiates establishment of an IPsec tunnel with the second non-3GPP interworking gateway in response to failing to establish the IPsec tunnel with the first non-3GPP interworking gateway and the second non-3GPP interworking gateway being available. The UE accesses the 3GPP network over the IPsec tunnel with the second non-3GPP interworking gateway.

Apparatuses and methods for expedited tunnel establishment with a non-third generation partnership project (3GPP) interworking gateway to access a 3GPP network

A method for performing Internet reachability management and associated apparatus are provided. The method may include: establishing, by a processor of the UE, a first connection to a first access device; receiving, by the processor, an indicator complying with a first protocol sent from the first access device; in response to receiving the indicator, performing, by the processor, a reachability detection complying with a second protocol to generate a detection result; and in response to the detection result representing that a network is not reachable, performing at least one of: displaying, by a display of the UE, a message or icon to represent the first connection or the network is unavailable; disconnecting, by the processor, the first connection; and establishing, by the processor, a second connection to a second access device.

Method and apparatus for performing internet reachability management with aid of indicator

A semiconductor apparatus is provided. The semiconductor apparatus includes a wafer chuck configured to hold a wafer, and a first nozzle configured to dispense first chemical liquid onto the wafer. The semiconductor apparatus also includes a second nozzle configured to dispense second chemical liquid onto the wafer at a first dispensing time after the first nozzle stops dispensing the first chemical liquid. The semiconductor apparatus also includes an image device configured to take images of the first nozzle and the second nozzle in sequence, and a processing module configured to analyze the images. The processing module adjusts the first dispensing time when a first defect image shows the first chemical liquid and the second chemical liquid existing in a space close to the first and the second nozzles and flowing to the wafer.
