Abstract: A filter material take-up product and a paper winding core, which are free from secondary-contaminattion by an outgas while being transported or stocked. Irrespective of its application such as building air conditioner, an air cleaner or a semi-conductor factory, the amount of the outgas to be generated from the filter take-up product for the air filter can be kept at a negligible level. The filter take-up product for the air filter is produced by coating and wrapping the filter material for the air filter, as wound on the winding core, with a film wrapping material which is so made of phenolic compounds, carboxylate esters, phosphate ester or cyclic siloxance as to have an outgas generation in an amount of 100 ng/g or less by the dynamic head space method.

Abstract: In this embodiment, a number is allocated to each packet, so that the ordinal number of a byte to be used with respect to the start of a pseudo random number bit string can be determined. The pseudo random number bit string generated by this method is repeatedly reused to some extend to make an operation speed high. A number to be allocated is adjusted, so that a repeating rate can be changed. In this manner, as in OFB, a pseudo random number bit string used in decoding can be completely prevented from being repeated, and security and a speed can be balanced as needed. In addition, since a specific position to be used of the pseudo random number bit string is managed by a number allocated to each packet, a packet loss does not affect decoding.
