Abstract: A mobile communication terminal allows a user to receive broadcast programming. A separate recording unit, which can be remote from the communication terminal, records that programming. One or more signals from the mobile terminal identify the broadcast frequency to which the mobile terminal is tuned and cause the recording unit to tune to the identified broadcast frequency. The signals from the mobile terminal also cause the recording unit to record at least a portion of a program being broadcast on the frequency to which the mobile terminal is tuned. The recording unit may buffer portions of broadcast programming being received on the identified frequency. A portion of the buffer contents can subsequently be transmitted to the mobile terminal, permitting the terminal user to replay the portion and identify a start point for the broadcast program. A signal from the mobile terminal can also cause the recording unit to automatically identify the start point in the buffer contents. After the start point is identified by the user or automatically by the recording unit, the recording unit is able to record substantially an entire broadcast program that is identified by the user after the program begins.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the provision of a solid electrolyte fuel-cell device (C) that achieves increased durability, increased power generation efficiency, and easy utilisation of heat, by making provisions to apply flames (f) over the entire surface of an anode layer (3) formed on a solid electrolyte substrate (1). Each individual fuel cell is constructed by forming a cathode layer (2), and an anode layer (3) on opposite surfaces of a plate-like solid electrolyte substrate (1). Power generation efficiency is increased by making provisions to ensure that a plurality of flames (f) formed by burning a fuel supplied from a fuel supply pipe (P) are applied over the entire surface of the anode layer (3). When a coolant pipe (W1-W5) is provided in an interlaced fashion (Figure 2) with the fuel supply pipe (P1-P5), not only can the heating of the fuel supply pipe (P1-P5) by the burning of the fuel be suppressed, but also the waste heat can be utilised. 
     The cathode and anode layers may be formed from a porous material, and a metal mesh or metal wire may be embedded in or fixed to a surface of each of said cathode layer and said anode layer.
