Abstract: A weight (11) for correcting imbalance in a rotary
element (13) includes a number of discrete elements (14).
The number of discrete elements (14) is selected to
substantially correct the imbalance. A piece of double
sided adhesive tape (16) has sufficient length for the
number of discrete elements (14) to be adhered to it. A
removable film (38) protects the adhesive on the side of
the tape opposite the side to which the discrete elements
(14) are adhered. The film (38) reduces the likelihood of
contamination of the adhesive until the film (38) is
removed to expose the adhesive on the side of the tape (16)
opposite the side to which the discrete elements (14) are
adhered, permitting the weight (11) to be applied to the
rotary element (13). Preferably the tape (16) is elastic
to enable it to stretch so that the weight (11) can be
attached to rotary elements (13) of different radius.
Preferably, each element (14) is coated on its entire
surface to prevent manual contact with the material for
which it is made.

Abstract: In a content distribution system, a recording-management system makes a
storing section of a first terminal device store a predetermined content stored in a
content-storing section of a distribution device obligatorily. Under this condition, when
a second terminal device requests the recording management system to distribute the
predetermined content, the recording management system transmits the address
identifying the first terminal device that stores the predetermined content to the second
terminal device. The content stored in the first terminal device is transmitted and
received between the second terminal device and the first terminal device having the
received address through a user network to obtain the predetermined content. Thus, the
content requested by a given terminal device can be distributed to the terminal device
that has made the request without increasing the scale of the distribution device.
