A power saving method in a wireless LAN system is disclosed for estimating at a terminal station whether or not data destined thereto is buffered in a base station, and temporarily stopping a downlink data receiving operation when it is estimated that no such data is buffered, thereby preventing the consumption of a bandwidth for needless wireless frame sequences. Upon receipt of a beacon management frame Beacon (TIM) from the base station, the terminal station stores TIM information in a memory. The TIM information indicates whether or not downlink data destined to the terminal station is buffered in the base station (indicating that the data is buffered when it is at “1” and that the data is not buffered when it is at “0”). At a PS-Poll transmission timing, the terminal station references the memory and stops the transmission of PS-Poll when the two latest values of TIM are “00.”

The control apparatus for the internal combustion engine increases a fuel injection amount under predetermined conditions, such as after the start of the internal combustion engine, at cold time, at acceleration requiring time, at gear shifting time from a neutral to a D-range, for example. When the fuel injection amount is increased during execution of air / fuel ratio feedback control, the feedback control follows the increase amount, and executes correction corresponding to the increase amount.

Therefore, purge is not performed during the increase of the fuel injection amount, and the purge control is performed after the fuel increase is stopped quickly, whereby it becomes possible to start purge control early.
