Abstract: A two-way stretch disposable diaper formed from four cooperating layers, a microfiber top layer to keep the wearer dry, an absorbent pad to collect body exudates, a waterproof layer to keep absorbed fluids within the pad, and a two-way stretch outer support layer. The top layer is formed as a cover for the absorbent pad which is designed to absorb urine and semi-liquid fecal material. The absorbent pad is backed by the waterproof layer or sheet which also covers the pad edges to prevent side leakage. The waterproof layer is anchored to a self-adhesive, two-way stretch support layer which constitutes an outer cover or support layer. The support layer derives its two way stretch and self adhesive qualities from its weave of alternate twist and/or crinkle threads. The support layer includes a plurality of holes in the waist band area which provide added ventilation and drainage when the diaper is used as swim-wear.

Abstract: The invention relates to a terminal for an electrical connector. The terminal includes, an outer body, a connector section, a crimping section, a contact retention section, a contact receiving area, and at least one main contact spring. The connector section is positioned to receive an pin that is insertable into the terminal. An electrical conductor is attachable in an electrically conductive manner to the crimping section. The outer body is retained in the contact retention section and fitted as a separate component. The at least one main contact spring includes a free end and at least one support area, and projects into the contact receiving area for the pin. Furthermore, the at least one main contact spring provides a contact force on the pin along a main spring path extending substantially transversely to the insertion direction of the connector section. The at least one main contact spring extends substantially in the insertion direction.

Abstract: A connector includes an insulating housing, a metal shell that covers the insulative housing, and a switch. The switch includes a fixed contact and a movable contact. The fixed contact is formed by partially bending a rear end of a top surface of a metal shell downward. The metal shell covers an insulating housing to be mated with a mating connector. The movable contact extends while having a fixed end held by the insulating housing, and bifurcates at an approximate midpoint of the movable contact. The movable contact has, at one free end, an attachment section that abuts a mating connector approaching in a mating direction and a contacting section, at an opposite free end, that contacts the fixed contact when the attachment section is pushed by the mating connector.

Abstract: The invention relates to a receptacle for standard connections in industrial information networks, in particular an RJ45 jack for Ethernet-based applications. The receptacle includes a socket which opens against a plug-in direction and a plurality of spring contacts. The spring contacts each form a first inclined lead in surface projecting into the socket in the plug-in direction. To allow a downwardly compatible, vibration-resistant connection, it is proposed according to the invention that the spring contacts each form a further second inclined lead in surface offset in the plug-in direction from the first inclined lead in surface.

At least one aperture is formed in the first over-molded lead-frame so that the at least one supporting strip is accessible. The at least one supporting strip in the first over-molded lead-frame is removed after completion of the over-molding step. A second dielectric material is then over-molded with the first over-molded lead-frame in such manner as to fill the at least one aperture and a space left between the electrical conductors after removal of the at least one supporting strip.
