Abstract: Included are: a cylindrical body (cylindrical portion 16) provided with a shaft portion (18); and a first valve body (11) that is in close contact with the shaft portion to close an opening portion (22) of the cylindrical body, and is separated from the shaft portion when pressure (P) in the cylindrical body rises to a threshold (Pth) or higher by gas that has entered the cylindrical body, to release the gas from the cylindrical body to the outside. The valve body includes a closing portion (40) that receives the pressure (P) of the gas in the cylindrical body. The pressure received by the closing portion (40) serves as a valve opening force. As a result, the discharge characteristics of the gas filling a case are improved to enhance a pressure regulation function.

Abstract: If any waveform software to be used is determined without taking into account the status of the other end of communication, the communication with the other end may possibly fail. Each of a plurality of radio devices observes its status, which dynamically varies in relation to that radio device, and transmits observation data, i.e., data representative of the observed status to a server apparatus. The server apparatus receives the observation data transmitted from the radio devices. Further, the server apparatus determines, on the basis of the observation data received from the radio devices, waveform software to be used for communications between or among the radio devices, and transmits the determined waveform software to the radio devices. Each of the radio devices receives the waveform software transmitted from the server apparatus and uses the received waveform software to control its own software radio communication means.
