Abstract: The present invention provides a portable terminal device that selects any of a plurality of communication partner devices, accesses the selected communication partner device by radio, and acquires different contents. The portable terminal device includes: a memory in which communication addresses assigned to the plurality of communication partner devices are stored; a radiocommunication unit that selects any of the communication addresses to communicate with a specific communication partner device and that includes a Bluetooth module; and a headphone through which music acquired from the communication partner device is listened to.

Abstract: A paper-making press felt (1) includes a base member (2) and at least one batt layer (3) laminated on the base member (2), and is characterized in that the base member (2) is made of a plurality of ground fabrics, and in that, of the plurality of ground fabrics, a second ground fabric (B) arranged next to a first ground fabric (A) arranged nearest to a surface (4) on which a wet paper sheet is placed has a structure whose density is higher than or whose air permeability is lower than that of the first ground fabric (A), and can regulate water from moving from the second ground fabric (B) to the first ground fabric (A) and hence can prevent a re-wetting phenomenon effectively.

Abstract: The problem of this invention is to inhibit the infiltration of a lubricating oil supplied to the contact area of the shoe with the belt into the high molecular weight elastic member, and to offer a shoe press belt which has an excellent performance improving durability of the friction surface, preventing flaking off phenomena, cracks, and breakage; and its manufacturing method. An endless shoe press belt the inner portion 1a of which is adapted to contact a shoe S of a papermaking machine, said inner portion 1a being composed of a high molecular weight elastic material, characterized in that the surface of said inner portion is provided with a protective oil 3 comprising an oil the viscosity of which is higher than that of a lubricating oil J supplied to the contact area of said inner portion with said shoe, or a paste-like oil having a certain consistency. It effectively prevents infiltration of the lubricating oil into the surface of the inner portion of the belt.

Abstract: A shoe press belt has both sides coated with a resin layer and one or both layers with side edge portions softer than the middle portion of the resin layer. The hardness of the side edge portions may first decrease stepwise laterally outwardly from the middle portion to a section which overlies the edge of the shoe, and then increase stepwise laterally outwardly to the edge of the belt. A first stepwise reduction in hardness may begin laterally inward of the edge of the wet paper sheet and extend laterally outwardly to the edge of the wet paper sheet, where a second stepwise reduction begins that extends laterally outwardly beyond the edge of the shoe. Laterally outwardly of the second reduction, a stepwise increase in hardness extends to the edge of the belt. Alternatively, each side edge portion may be of a single hardness, less than the hardness of the middle portion, and each side edge portion overlies one of the side edges of the shoe.
