Abstract: The position relating to a content can be displayed on map information using a portable storage medium. With respect to a content the visual information of which is to be displayed on a display unit (19), a display control unit (control unit 21) displays the visual information of the content on the map information. If a first identification value among a plurality of identification values of the content cannot be found, a content is extracted from the contents stored in the portable storage medium (12) so that the extracted content has an identification value which matches with any of the plurality of identification values other than the first identification value. The visual information of the extracted content is displayed on the map information.

Abstract: Terminals #1 to #3 which have already been connected and a terminal #4 which wants to make a new connection send packets to a base station in that order. The base station queues the packets from the terminals #1 to #3 at a non-priority queue and the packet from the terminal #4 at a priority queue. For example, a predetermined amount of packets from a new connection is queued at the priority queue. Packets in the priority queue are dequeued with priority. Therefore, the packet sent from the terminal #4 is first sent to a base-station controller, and then the packets sent from the terminals #1 to #3 are sent to the base-station controller. As a result, the base-station controller first receives the packet sent from the terminal #4, and the period of time required for the terminal #4 to establish a connection is reduced.

Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus for communicating with a base station is provided with the function of specifying the type of an application from header information of an IP packet issued by the application, searching for a set of radio parameters for assuring a Quality of Service (QoS) required by the application from a conversion table having been prepared beforehand, and automatically setting up a new session based on the set of radio parameters.

Abstract: A phenolic resin molding material for molding a precursor of an amorphous carbon molded article which comprises a particulate phenolic resin having thermal plasticity coated with a low-surface tension substance containing no metallic substance; a transparent precursor of an amorphous carbon molded article which comprises a homogeneous phenolic resin homogenized by molding under a highly flowing state and has few large voids and a low metal content; a process for molding the precursor which comprises molding the phenolic resin molding material with its water content being controlled by molding, i.e., kneading followed by shaping under a highly flowing state, such as transfer molding, extrusion, injection molding or injection compression molding; and a process for producing an amorphous carbon molded article which comprises carbonizing the precursor by burning.

Abstract: A resin composition for powder coatings that comprises a composition (A) and a blocked polyisocyanate compound (B), the composition (A) being based on both a carboxyl group containing polyester resin having a hydroxyl value of 10 to 100 and a softening point of 50.degree. to 150.degree. C. and a glycidyl group containing acrylic resin having a hydroxyl value of 30 to 150 and a softening point of 50.degree. to 150.degree. C., and further containing a copolymer prepared by reaction between said polyester and acrylic resins. This resin composition is capable of providing an ideal paint film that possesses the features of a paint film prepared from polyester resins (high degrees of smoothness, gloss and strength) and those of a paint film prepared from acrylic resins (high levels of hardness, stain resistance and weatherability).

Abstract: A heat-bondable fiber in the form of a core-sheath type composite fiber comprising a core component and a sheath component which covers the periphery of the core component. The sheath component is formed of copolymer polyethylene consisting of predetermined material and having predetermined properties. The core component is made of a fiber-forming polymer whose melting point is more than 30.degree. C. higher than that of the sheath component. The fineness of the core-sheath type composite fiber is less than 8 deniers. Such heat-bondable fiber provides a nonwoven fabric in which the force of adhesion of the heat-bondable fiber to other dissimilar fibers is high and the hand of the fabric is soft. This nonwoven fabric contains at least 15 percent of the heat-bondable fiber and is heat-treated at a temperature less than the melting point of the core component.
