Abstract: An ultrasonic transmission medium is received in a medium container, and an opening of the container is sealed by a polymer membrane. An inspection object is received in an inspection object receiving container body that is a separate body from the medium container and whose opening is formed opposite the polymer membrane of the medium container. The opening of the inspection object receiving container body is covered by the polymer membrane of the medium container, and a measurement environment space formed by a frame body, the polymer membrane, and the inspection object is reduced in pressure to cause the polymer membrane to be in intimate contact with the inspection object. Then, flaw detection is performed by emitting and applying an ultrasonic wave from an ultrasonic probe to the inspection object via the ultrasonic transmission medium and the polymer membrane.

Abstract: In a method for securely distributing data in group communication, the group has a plurality of members, and the method includes the following steps: (A) under a data recording mode, assigning one member of the group as a recording member; (B) enabling the recording member to generate and send a security key to other members of the group, to record communication contents of all the members during a group communication session, and to create an entry of recorded data therefor; and (C) enabling the other members of the group to receive and store the security key, the security key enabling the other members of the group to retrieve the recorded data from the recording member under a data retrieval mode.
