Magnet powder has a composition expressed by (R R B T ) N (in formula, R is at least one kind of element selected from rare earth elements, R is at least one kind of element selected from Zr, Hf and Sc, T is at least one kind of element selected from Fe and Co, and X, Y, Z and Q are numbers satisfying 2 atomic %&lE;X, 0.01 atomic %&lE;Y, 4&lE;X&plus;Y&gE;20 atomic %, 0&lE;Z&lE;10 atomic %, and 0.1&lE;Q&lE;20 atomic %, respectively), and TbCu crystal phase as a principal phase. In such magnet powder, a ratio of fine particles of which maximum diameter is 22 &mgr;m or less is 20% by weight or less. Alternatively, surface roughness of particles constituting the magnet powder is 5 &mgr;m or less in terms of maximum height R provided in JIS B 0601-1994. Accordingly, to such a magnet powder, excellent magnetic properties can be obtained with reproducibility.

A magnetic material essentially consists of a composition represented by general formula: R R B N H M (in the formula, R denotes at least one kind element selected from rare earth elements, R denotes at least one kind element selected from Zr, Hf and Sc, M denotes at least one kind element selected from Fe and Co, X, Y, Z, U and V are numbers satisfying 2 at. %&lE;X, 0.01 at. %&lE;Y, 4&lE;X&plus;Y&lE;20 at. %, 0&lE;Z&lE;10 at. %, 0.1&lE;U&lE;18 at. %, 0.01&lE;V&lE;10 at. %, respectively), and comprises a TbCu type crystal phase as a principal phase. A nitriding treatment to a mother alloy is carried out in a mixed gas of ammonia gas and hydrogen gas of which partial pressure ratio is set in the range of 3<P /P when partial pressure of ammonia gas is P , that of the hydrogen gas is P . According to such a nitriding treatment, without hindering rapid absorption of nitrogen by a mother alloy of which principal phase is a TbCu type crystal phase, deterioration of magnetic characteristics due to too much absorption of nitrogen can be suppressed.

A cold accumulating material comprises a set of particulate cold accumulating substances, pores formed between the particulate cold accumulating substances, and a binder for mutually binding the particulate cold accumulating substances, wherein a porosity of the cold accumulating material is 15-70 vol %. A median diameter of the pores existing in the cold accumulating material is preferably set to 10-300 &mgr;m. An oxygen concentration at an area ranging from a surface of the particulate cold accumulating substance to a portion having a depth of 100 angstroms (A) from the surface is preferably set to 5-80 at %. According to the above structure, there can be provided a cold accumulating material and a refrigerator using the cold accumulating material which is free from being finely pulverized, and has a high mechanical strength, and capable of exhibiting a significant refrigerating performance at low temperature range for a long period of time in a stable condition, and which can be mass-produced with a high production yield and low cost.

With an index that represents the content of a message, a communication band is assigned. At this point, communication bands are managed as fixed bands and variable bands. An index is used to secure a fixed band when the transmission a data flow corresponding to a communication request is started. In addition, an index is used to coordinate variable bands. Thus, priority levels of communication requests are objectively designated corresponding to the contents of communication requests and features of mediums. In the case that a fixed band and a variable band are secured, when a function for scheduling and reserving communication resources for communication requests is accomplished, priority levels are objectively designated with an index.
