A method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. This disclosure provides a pressure-sensitive adhesive and pressure-sensitive adhesive articles that are particularly useful in the bonding of low surface energy substrates. The invention reduces the settling time of a mobile station when an operating frequency is changed from one to another. Furthermore, a pushing portion 19 which causes the ball 8a to protrude into the insertion hole 12 when the rotary section 7 is moved in one of axial directions thereof is provided at the inner surface 7c of the rotary section 7. In various embodiments, the systems and methods may be applied globally assessing risks that occur in any region or country throughout the world, for any type of risk or any type of asset. A power down input signal can also be received that allows the circuit to be powered down.
