Abstract: A method for making three dimensional structures using photolithography and an adhesively bondable material is disclosed. A thiol-ene-epoxy (OSTE(?)) material undergoes a first reaction upon partial irradiation in a pattern to become a partially cross-linked polymer network. Non-cross-linked parts are dissolved in a solvent and removed. An initiator is added to activate the cross-linked polymer network so that it becomes adhesive and can then be covalently bound to another object to form an article. The method can be utilized to manufacture an article with a complicated three dimensional shape in an easy way.

Abstract: A mobile communication terminal has an e-mail automatic reply function. The mobile communication terminal is set as to an allowable time difference, ringing and an e-mail automatic reply by an e-mail automatic reply function, and performs a domain analysis, etc. on the header information of the received e-mail message if the setting is made valid. Then, in the domain analysis, it is determined whether or not the time difference between an area (region) set by the roaming function and a region from which an e-mail message is sent is equal to or less than an allowable time difference, and if it is equal to or less than the allowable time difference, the mobile communication terminal notifies the receipt of the e-mail message by ringing. On the other hand, if the time difference is larger than the allowable time difference, the mobile communication terminal automatically sends a reply mail without notifying the receipt of the e-mail message.
