In a distributed information communication processing system in which a plurality of information communication devices provides a service through a network, response speed, electric power consumption, and further reliability are improved. MEMS scanners are formed without a surrounding frame. This apparatus allows for the milling of a window in the parent wellbore, and the drilling of a lateral wellbore through that window, in a single trip. A method and apparatus for selecting an optimal adaptation step for the UFLMS is disclosed. The data includes flag data that associates certain properties with an element, mask data that identifies if the element is visible or not visible to the process, and context data that sets the state or status of the element.
