Abstract: Telephone directory information retained by a user identity module (UIM) is accessed in an efficient manner. A representative telephone directory DS is defined in a UIM. When registration information of a registered record X is read out, a search request is issued from a cellular phone to search Record Number 1 in the representative telephone directory DS for the registered record X. Then, a read-out request is issued to read out Record Number 1 of the representative telephone directory DS. The UIM, upon receipt of the search request, searches the telephone directory for a record storing the registered record X, associates the record with Record number 1 of the representative telephone directory, and then match the data of the records. When a read-out request is issued, the data of the record is read out from Record Number 1 of the representative telephone directory.

Abstract: A scroll fluid machine comprises a fixed scroll, an orbiting scroll and a plurality of self-rotation preventing device for preventing the orbiting scroll from rotating on its own axis. On the rear surface of the orbiting scroll, a reinforcement bearing plate is fixed with a central bolt and an outer circumferential bolt. A follower of the self-rotation preventing device is provided in the reinforcement bearing plate. An oil-supply hole is formed through the reinforcement bearing plate to supply oil to the follower.

Abstract: A scroll fluid machine comprises a driving shaft in a housing. An orbiting scroll is eccentrically revolved around an eccentric axial portion of the driving shaft via a bearing. Air is introduced from outside through an intake port of a circumferential wall of the housing and directed toward the bearing by a guide to cool the bearing.

Abstract: A scroll fluid machine comprises a housing having a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll revolved by a driving shaft which is driven by a motor behind the housing. A blowing fan is provided between the orbiting scroll and the motor. Rotation of the fan causes decompression in the housing to allow primary external air to be sucked from the outside into the housing through a primary sucking hole. Secondary external air is introduced from a secondary sucking hole and mixed with the primary external air of the scroll fluid machine to cool the parts of the scroll fluid machine in the housing and/or the motor.

Abstract: A non-contact IC apparatus is provided in a simple configuration with a plurality of IC chips, while enabling reliable communication. A non-contact IC apparatus 1 has a plurality of IC chips 30, 50, an antenna 11 for receiving a radio wave for non-contact IC apparatus, a modem part 12 for acquiring a signal from the radio wave received by the antenna 11, and a distribution control part 13 for selecting an IC chip to receive the signal, out of the plurality of IC chips 30, 50, based on the signal acquired by the modem part 12, and for transmitting the signal to the selected IC chip.

Abstract: A scroll fluid machine comprises a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll that engages with the fixed scroll to form a compression chamber between the fixed and orbiting scrolls. Near the outer circumference of the fixed and/or orbiting scroll, an annular dust-seal groove is provided. In the groove, a dust seal fits to prevent a gas from coming into the compression chamber or from leaking out of the compression chamber. In the dust-seal groove, an annular holder or piece is provided to prevent heat from transferring to the dust seal.

Abstract: To stop functions of a subscriber authentication module regardless of whether a roaming network is based on IMT-2000 or GSM. HLR of a mobile communication network based on IMT-2000 has a stop information addition part instructing a RAND field of an authentication vector used for authentication of USIM to cause part or all of functions in the subscriber authentication module to stop. The USIM mounted in a mobile terminal has a function stop part executing to cause part or all of functions of the subscriber authentication module to stop, an identification part that refers to information identifying stop information contained in received data and transmits the stop information to a function stop part, and an operation part for performing a predetermined operation using the received data.

Abstract: A mobile communication terminal includes a communication unit, a wireless communication unit, a contents acquisition unit, a contents storage unit, a verification unit, and an output permission determination unit. The communication unit communicates with an IC card. The wireless communication unit provides wireless communication using user information stored in the IC card. The contents acquisition unit acquires contents using the user information. The contents storage unit stores the contents in a form so as to be associated with user identification information acquired from the IC card. The verification unit verifies whether or not the user identification information acquired from the IC card matches the user identification information, which is stored in the contents storage unit so as to be associated with contents to be outputted. The output permission determination unit determines whether or not output of the contents should be permitted, receiving verification results obtained by the verification unit.

Abstract: Information stored in an IC card which can be set to a block state, where any functions permitted to a user authority holder is not effective and an unblock password is required to set the IC card back to an initial state, is more secured than that stored in an IC card without the block state. The IC card of the present invention is further provided with a counter counting the number of incorrect unblock passwords, and is set to a more secured state of operation where only administrative authority holder can release the IC card.
