To provide a composite porous film in which thermal shrinkage is satisfactorily suppressed even when temperature exceeds a melting temperature of a polyolefin resin, adhesion between a microporous membrane and a heat-resistant layer is improved, and dropout of an inorganic filler is suppressed. The composite porous film is composed of the heat-resistant layer formed of the inorganic filler and a binder, and the microporous membrane formed of the polyolefin resin, and the composite porous film having a primary particle size of the inorganic filler in the range of 5 nanometers to 100 nanometers.

Composite porous film having excellent heat resistance

A communication apparatus performing communication in a noncontact manner is provided. The communication apparatus includes a transmission control unit configured to transmit a command; a timeout period checking unit configured to check whether a timeout period during which a response to the command is waited for has elapsed; a retransmission control unit configured to retransmit the command only after the timeout period has elapsed; an error checking unit configured to check whether data received within the timeout period has an error; and a processing unit configured to regard the data received within the timeout period as a correct response to the command if the data does not have an error and perform a process in accordance with the response. If the data received within the timeout period has an error, the retransmission control unit does not retransmit the command and the timeout period checking unit continues to check whether the timeout period has elapsed.

Communication apparatus, communication method, and program

An IC card compatible with a DES scheme and an AES scheme having a security strength different from that of the DES scheme, includes an inhibition information receiving section for receiving inhibition information for inhibiting predetermined manipulation from being performed in a storage region of the IC card using the DES scheme from an issuing device using the AES scheme, an inhibition flag setting section for performing inhibition processing for inhibiting the predetermined manipulation by the inhibition information, a manipulation request receiving section for receiving a manipulation request from a service providing device or the issuing device, and a manipulation executing section for executing the requested manipulation if the requested manipulation does not correspond to the predetermined manipulation inhibited by the inhibition information.

Information processing device, information processing method, and program

A deodorant fiber comprises a thermoplastic resin containing 0.1 to 10 weight %, with respect to the weight of said fiber, of a complex oxide comprising oxides of at least two metals selected from the divalent or trivalent metals, and coated with 0.1 to 5 weight %, with respect to the weight of said fiber, of an agent comprising a surfactant composition comprising 20-80 weight % of the component A and 80-20 weight % of the component B and/or the component C. The A is at least one compound selected from a group consisting of betaine amphoteric compounds, carbonyl compounds and vinyl ether-maleic anhydride copolymers. The B is a nonionic surfactant comprising at least one substance selected from a group consisting of nonionic surfactants based on alkylene oxide adducts and nonionic surfactants based on polyvalent alcohols. The component C is an anionic surfactant comprising at least one substance selected from a group consisting of carbonates, sulfonates, sulfate ester salts and phosphate ester salts.

Deodorant fiber and fibrous article and product made thereof

A communication system includes first and second communication devices that carry out wireless communication. The first communication device includes a setter configured to set a first indication mode and a corresponding second indication mode, a sender configured to send data representing the second indication mode to the second communication device when communication has been established with the second communication device, and a first indicator configured to indicate the establishment of communication in the first indication mode, correspondingly to indication in the second indication mode by the second communication device. The second communication device includes a receiver configured to receive the data representing the second indication mode, and a second indicator configured to indicate the establishment of communication in the second indication mode, correspondingly to the indication in the first indication mode by the first communication device.

Communication system, communication device, notification method, recording medium, and program

A mobile radio communication device can automatically initialize the mode of a SAM card (or the SAM function area of an IC card) after executing radio communication with an external radio communication apparatus. The mobile radio communication device transmits/receives data to/from an external radio communication apparatus located in an area that allows radio communication. In the mobile radio communication device, an IC card that receives power supply from a mobile radio communication device main-unit, that manages data transmitted/received to/from the external radio communication apparatus, and that manages a communication mode state of the mobile radio communication device is detachably connected to the mobile radio communication device main-unit. The mobile radio communication device further includes radio-signal strength determining means for determining whether or not a strength of radio signals received from the external radio communication apparatus is less than or equal to a preset threshold value, and IC-card-mode initializing means for resetting a mode of the IC card to an initial state when the radio-signal strength determining means determines that the strength of the radio signals is less than or equal to the threshold value.

Mobile radio communication apparatus

A portable terminal includes a near-field communication (NFC) device for performing information communication via near-field communication; a write button; and a read button. In order to write information stored in the portable terminal into an information providing apparatus, a user moves the portable terminal close to the information providing apparatus such that a distance between the portable terminal and the information providing apparatus is 10 cm or less while pressing the write button. In order to read information stored in the information providing apparatus into the portable terminal, a user moves the portable terminal close to the information providing apparatus such that a distance between the portable terminal and the information providing apparatus is 10 cm or less while pressing the read button.
