Abstract: It is intended to allow an asphalt pavement to be peeled off efficiently with a relatively small amount of electric power without generating large vibration and noise, and handled in the form of a block. An electromagnetic induction coil 36 is positioned above an asphalt pavement 22 provided on a copper plate (12) to melt a lower surface of the asphalt pavement 22. Then, a wedge-shaped thermally-conductive peeling member 60 having a peeling layer formed on an upper surface thereof is inserted into a melted layer (74) of the lower surface of the asphalt pavement 22 to peel off the asphalt pavement 22 from the steel plate 12. This makes it possible to peel off the asphalt pavement 22 with a relatively small amount of electric power and handle the peeled asphalt pavement 22 in the form of a block.

Abstract: An Internet telephone apparatus which is capable of processing an Internet connection to an Internet telephone or to personal computer communications without requiring the installation of an additional public line, so that a cost for extension of a line and maintenance of the extended line can be eliminated. This Internet telephone apparatus has an incoming call determination unit for determining, based on information in a call setting message from a user, generated when a call is originated, whether the call is an incoming call directed to an access server for controlling communications such as personal computer communications or the like or an incoming call directed to an Internet telephone control unit for controlling the Internet telephone.
