An information access system comprises: antennas arranged at respective different positions and used for communicating with contactless information storage devices that pass through a predetermined region substantially simultaneously; reader devices coupled to the respective antennas and adapted to communicate with the contactless information storage devices; and a control unit for controlling the reader devices and transmitting, to another apparatus, data received from the reader devices. In response to a control signal received from the other apparatus, the control unit controls predetermined one of the reader devices to transmit an RF identification request signal to the predetermined region via the antenna. The reader devices receive RF response signals from the contactless information storage devices via the antennas, then reproduce identifications, and then provide the reproduced identifications to the control unit. The control unit receives the reproduced identifications, and then processes redundant identifications in the received identifications so as to produce distinct identifications having no redundancy.

A laminated varistor having excellent radiation capability is provided. A heat conductor portion is disposed on the top surface of a rectangular parallelepiped laminated chip including a plurality of first conductor layers and a plurality of second conductor layers disposed alternately in a lateral direction with varistor layers therebetween, and the heat conductor portion is connected to a top end of each second conductor layer. Therefore, when the heat from an exothermic device, e.g., an IC, disposed in the vicinity is transferred to each of the first conductor layers and the second conductor layers via a first electrode portion and a second electrode portion or when heat generation occurs as a current passes through the varistor layers, the heat is directly and highly efficiently transferred from each second conductor layer to the heat conductor portion, and is effectively released to the outside from the heat conductor portion.
