Abstract: A plug type connector, and more particularly a plug type connector having a locking function when the plug type connector is connected to a counter connector, coupling the plug type connector to the counter connector. A locking member is formed by a slender by a slender locking piece configured from a synthetic resin molded product, the operation load which is required for flexurally deforming the locking piece can be increasingly or decreasingly adjusted. The plug type connector comprises contact portions, the locking piece, a press operating member, and a backup member. The backup member has the function of adjusting the level of the operation load of the locking piece. In another embodiment, even when the locking member is made of metal, the enclosure of the counter connector is not shaved by a prying force applied on the counter connector, and hence the stability of the locked state can be enhanced.

Abstract: A resin body (2) cooperates with a cover (3) made of sheet metal to form a slot (5) into which a memory card (100) is to be inserted. The resin body has an erroneous card insertion preventing thickened portion (22) into which a core member (24) made of a material that is higher in strength than the resin forming the body is embedded. The thickened portion (22) is positioned in an erroneous insertion preventing notch region of the memory card (100) that is to be inserted in a card attachment position of the slot (5) in a normal insertion posture, and is to butt against an insertion end face of the memory card (100) that is erroneously inserted in a posture different from the normal insertion posture, to block the insertion of the memory card (100) to a card set position. An end face (25) of the core member (24) is protruded from an end face (23) of the thickened portion (22).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a coaxial cable connector including a contact 1 connected to a central conductor c1 of a coaxial cable C, an insulation body 2 internally equipped with the contact 1, and a cylindrical receptacle fitting portion 4 including a plurality of arc-shaped elastic springs 4b which are arranged outside the insulation body 2 on a concentric circle and connected to an outer conductor c3 of said coaxial cable C. In order to overcome the problem of degradation of the fitting retaining force of the receptacle fitting portion 4 due to repeated fitting to a receptacle S, there are provided elastic springs 11 placed outside the receptacle fitting portion 4 for making the receptacle fitting portion 4 to partially have the configuration of double springs 12A, 12B. Especially, the configuration of the double springs 12A, 12B is formed by adjacent two arc-shaped elastic springs 4b sandwiching the coaxial cable C drawn out outwardly in the radial direction from the receptacle fitting portion 4.

A locking portion (65) of the locking projection (6) is formed as an inclined face, whereby the locking projection (6) is prevented from being raised, even when the card (100) is pressed against the locking projection. The locking portion (65) is positioned posterior in the card insertion direction to the positions where contacts (4) are placed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plug type connector, and more particularly to a plug type connector having a locking function of, when the connector is connected to a counter connector, coupling the connector to the counter connector. In the case where a locking member is formed by a slender locking piece 30 configured by a synthetic resin molded product, the operation load which is required for flexurally deforming the locking piece 30 can be increasingly or decreasingly adjusted. The plug type connector A of the invention comprises contact portions 20, the locking piece 30, a press operating member 50, and a backup member 60. The backup member 60 has a function of adjusting the level of the operation load of the locking piece 30. In another invention, even when the locking member is made of a metal, the enclosure of the counter connector is not shaved by a prying force applied on the counter connector, and hence the stability of the locked state can be enhanced.

Abstract: For producing an abrasive tape (11) including a film substrate (2) and a polishing abrasive layer (10) laminated on one surface of the film substrate (2) and having on the outer surface thereof a plurality of recessed parts (9), the film substrate (2) is wrapped partially around the outer peripheral surface of a roll formplate (1) having on the surface thereof a plurality of concavities (5), and, as the roll formplate (1) is rotated, the film substrate (2) is fed thereto. On one hand, an ionizing radiation curing type resin (3) is supplied into the interface between the roll formplate (1) and the film substrate (2) therearound to be formed by the concavities (5), and the recessed parts (9) are formed on the resin surface. During this forming, radiation rays (R) are projected from an ionizing radiation ray source (8) toward the resin (3) thereby to cure the resin (3) and, at the same time, to render the resin (3) and the film substrate (2) into an integral structure.

In one aspect, the composite film has a substrate film and a hard coat layer provided on the substrate film, the hard coat layer formed of an ionizing radiation-cured resin, the surface of the hard coat layer having fine irregularities serving to create a surface slip property. In another aspect, the composite film has a substrate film and a hard coat layer provided on the substrate film, the hard coat layer formed of a composition comprising an ionizing radiation-cured resin, fine particulates of inorganic and/or organic materials, and an organic silicone.

A pair of auxiliary wings 6A and 6B are installed opposite to each other at predetermined positions on the internal wall surfaces of the twin-hull structures 3A and 3B mutually facing the hull center line and at a predetermined height between the upper water line formed in the course of low-speed cruising and the lower water line formed in the course of high-speed cruising. The twin-hull boat incorporates a postural angle regulating device 15 to properly regulate the postural angle of the auxiliary wings 6A and 6B by causing them to pivot about a horizontal axis.

Abstract: The ablation threshold of a laser fluence with respect to the surface of a sample manufactured in a high vacuum chamber is determined by using the sample. The quantity of vacancy-type defects is determined by radiating a laser beam having a fluence slightly higher than the ablation threshold on the surface. At the same time, the quantities of adatom-type and kink-type defects are determined by radiating a pulsed laser beam having a fluence slightly lower than the ablation threshold on the surface repeatedly to obtain the relation between an emission yield and the number of laser pulses. The quantity of the adatom-type defects is obtained by determining the area (total quantity of emitted atoms) of a rapidly decreasing portion of the relation. The quantity of kink-type defects is obtained by determining a magnitude of an emission yield of a slowly decreasing portion of the relation.

Abstract: A basic sample having a surface is set in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber. Atoms constituting the sample are deposited on the surface of the sample to remove vacancy-type defects. A laser beam having a predetermined wavelength and a predetermined fluence is radiated on the sample to remove adatom-type and kink-type defects, thereby producing a defect-free surface. In addition, the same material as that for a basic sample is deposited on a defect-free surface to produce a defect-free thin film.

Abstract: A controller in which proportional integral (PI) arithmetic is effected on a deviation between a measurement or process signal from a process or controlled system and a control set value, and a resultant manipulation signal is outputted to the process. A waveform of the process signal or the deviation signal is observed. PI arithmetic parameters undergo self-tuning so that the measurement result becomes a preset response target.
