Abstract: A memory card connector includes a housing defining at least part of a card-receiving cavity of the connector and including a bottom wall and a side wall joined to the bottom wall. A slider is movably mounted on the housing and is engageable with the memory card for movement therewith. The slider is slidable along an inside of the side wall of the housing. The slider has a projection engageable in a recess in a side of the memory card. The projection causes the slider to be biased outwardly toward the side wall if the memory card is inserted into the cavity in an incorrect orientation. A slit is formed adjacent a juncture between the bottom wall and the side wall of the housing to allow the side wall to yield in the event that the slider is biased outwardly against the side wall in response to the incorrectly inserted memory card.

Abstract: This invention provides techniques for a CDMA system having high spectrum efficiency with low transmit power. Each transmitter comprises means of selecting some core-sequences out of multiple sequences to make them convey plural data, means of producing an enveloped selected sequence with such a method as to arrange as guard sequences to a repeated sequence made by repeating each of the selected core-sequences, means of modulating a user specific orthogonal carrier frequency by the enveloped selected sequence to produce a transmit-symbol, and means of transmitting the transmit-symbols. And a receiver comprises means of demodulating a receive-symbol with one of the user specific carrier frequencies to produce a base-band receive-symbol, means of separating respective components corresponding to the sequences selected by the user, by analyzing the base-band receive-symbol with a matrix composed of a channel response vector from the user to the receiver to detect plural data on the components.
