According to the invention, a method for allocating resources in a radio communication system is proposed wherein a frequency carrier is subdivided into a number of sub carriers. A performance measuring unit periodically measures the performance of the plurality of disk apparatuses during apparatus operation, and a performance-measurement-value storage unit stores a performance measurement value obtained through measurement. The probe structure includes a contact point that transmits an electric signal, a probe on which the contact point is formed, a probe pad section that is electrically coupled to the contact point, and an insulating section that is provided on the probe and that insulates a bonding wire connected to the probe pad section from the probe. A method of inserting one or more objects into a filter component of a tobacco rod is also described.
