Each of the reed switch mechanisms is provided with a pair of reed switches that are placed so as to overlap with each other in the insertion direction of the control rod. The pair of reed switches are connected to a common wiring. The common wiring is connected to a detector that detects a position of the control rod based on signals from the reed switches.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an amide derivative of the formula (1), having a C5a receptor antagonistic action wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification. The above-mentioned amide derivative, an optically active form thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are promising as an agent for the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases or syndromes caused by inflammation caused by C5a [e.g., autoimmune diseases such as rheumatism, systemic lupus erythematosus and the like, sepsis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, allergic diseases such as asthma and the like, atherosclerosis, cardiac infarction, brain infarction, psoriasis, Alzheimer's disease and serious organ injury (e.g., pneumonia, nephritis, hepatitis and pancreatitis and the like) due to activation of leukocytes caused by ischemia reperfusion, trauma, burn, surgical invasion and the like].

Abstract: A waterproof connector is provided with a connector housing having a mating hollow to which an opposing connector is fitted, a seal fitted to an opposite side to the mating hollow of the connector housing, and a rear holder inserted and fitted to the connector housing. The seal is further provided with a plurality of through holes to which cables provided with terminals at front ends are respectively inserted, and the rear holder is provided with insertion holes communicating with the through holes respectively. The rear holder allows the cable to pass through at a time of being inserted to a temporary engaging position, and presses the seal so as to fix at a time of being inserted to a regular engaging position. The insertion holes are extended so as to have a length at a degree at which a front end thereof is not brought into contact with lips of the through holes even when the inserted terminals are inclined.

Abstract: A waterproof connector is constituted by a connector housing provided with a mating hollow to which an opposing connector is fitted and a terminal housing protruded within the mating hollow, a first packing pressure contacted with the opposing connector within the mating hollow so as to be closely attached to a periphery of the terminal housing, and a slide arranged between the terminal housing and the first packing. The connector housing receives a plurality of cables provided with terminals at front ends so as to hold a second packing therebetween. The slide is provided with a plurality of slits being parallel to a sliding direction and respectively inserting the terminals, and a retaining portion extending toward the first packing in one end portion. The slits prevent the terminals from falling off in a side of the retaining portion, and allow the terminals to pass through in an opposite side.

Abstract: A connector for-use-on-board includes a bar-like terminal protruding from a connector housing. A forward end of the terminal is soldered to a printed circuit conductor of a board. A position-regulating hole is formed in such a way as to pass through a position in the vicinity of the forward end of the terminal in a direction perpendicular to an axial line of the terminal. A position-regulating protrusion protrudes from the connector housing and is loosely fitted into the position-regulating hole with a prescribed clearance.
