Abstract: The present invention provides a sound source supply apparatus capable of playing music with less degradation of sound by processing an original sound source such that music is not determined to be a noise.

Abstract: A toe massage device is constructed from a rotating body while being supported on a base by a supporting shaft; a rotation drive device for rotating the rotating body in the normal and reverse directions; and toe fixation means provided on the rotating body and fixing toes of a subject. The toes are fixed on the rotating body by the toe fixation means and the rotating body is rotated in the normal and reverse directions. When the rotating body is rotated in the normal direction, the toes are pulled forward and downward. That is, the toes are pulled in the direction in which they are bent toward the sole. When the rotating body is rotated in the reverse direction, the toes are bent upward while being caused to move backward.

Abstract: To realize high quality reproduction of sound on a portable telephone by suppressing deterioration in quality of sound data being provided through a wireless communication network while sustaining the quality of sound in the portable telephone there is provided sound data to a portable telephone through a wireless base station, the wireless base station transmitting sound data to the portable telephone by codec, the sound data being encoded previously in compliance with the codec of the portable telephone.

Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To realize high quality reproduction of sound on a portable telephone by suppressing deterioration in quality of sound data being provided through a wireless communication network while sustaining the quality of sound in the portable telephone. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] In a system for providing sound data to a portable telephone U1 through a wireless base station (51), the wireless base station (51) comprises a means for transmitting sound data to the portable telephone U1 by codec through, and the sound data is data encoded previously in compliance with the codec of the portable telephone.

Abstract: A method of producing shaped articles of thermoplastic resin having a non-foam layer and foam layer, which comprises introducing into a mold thermoplastic resin particles not containing a heat-decomposable blowing agent and thermoplastic resin particles containing such a blowing agent and having a greater heat capacity than said resin particles not containing a blowing agent, heating the mold and, in the meantime, moving said particles in said mold to effect the heat-melting of said particles as well as the heat-decomposition of said blowing agent.
