A base station apparatus capable of communicating with user equipment terminals using an uplink shared channel includes a radio resource allocation unit configured to allocate radio resources other than a resource placed at an end of a system bandwidth, when the system bandwidth is frequency-adjacent to a heterogeneous radio communication system. There is further included a plurality of flexible cups, spaced apart along the outer wall of the pig body, each cup secured to an interior metallic ring around the body of the pig, with the flexible cups making contact with the wall of the pipeline so as to provide a continuous fluid seal between the wall of the pipeline and the ends of the plurality of flexible cups. The silicon-based support structure includes a mounting end and a distal end opposite the mounting end with the mounting end received by the base portion such that the support structure extends from the first primary surface of the base portion. By changing an effective cavity length of the resonator, the image is \u201cscanned\u201d in a direction perpendicular to the other reflector and a processing system stores information corresponding to resonance peaks to achieve a mapping of feature height above the surface of interest. The kiosk is configured to receive pricing data for the charging operation from the charging device, display the pricing data, enable the pricing data to be accepted, and authorize the charging device to initiate the charging operation if the pricing data is accepted. The current use communication line is switched from the first communication line to the second communication line when a fault is detected in relation to the first communication line.
