Abstract: An electrical contact (1) includes a base portion (10) for connecting with a first device (2), a first spring arm (12) extends from the base portion (10) and includes a first contact tip (121) at the end thereof for connecting with the first device (2) and a second contact tip (122) near the base portion (10) for connecting with a second device (3), at a first stage, the base portion (10) is higher than the second contact tip (122) and the second contact tip (122) is higher than the first contact tip (121), at another stage, the base portion (10) and the first contact tip (121) are in a same height to contact the first device (2) and the second contact tip (122) is lower than the first contact tip (121) to contact the second device (3).

Abstract: A connection terminal includes a terminal connection portion to be connected with a mating terminal is connected, a wire connection portion connected to the terminal connection portion and a wire, an anticorrosion material provided to cover an area in the wire connection portion where water may be poured to the wire, and an anticorrosion material holding portion provided in the wire connection portion towards the terminal connection portion.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions of ethylene/(meth)acrylate copolymers, polyolefins (e.g., polyethylene and polypropylene), optional tackifier resins and optional fillers that provide very strong, tight hermetic heat seals yet are easily peelable. These compositions are useful as an adhesive layer in multilayer structures that are useful as packaging lidding films. Also disclosed are packages that comprise these multilayer structures.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly may include a connector body for receiving a power cable and having at least one T-end having a bore therein. An adapter is configured to be received within the bore in the at least one T-end, wherein the adapter comprises a conductive core coupled to the power cable. A sacrificial cap is configured to engage a portion of the adapter extending from the at least one T-end. The sacrificial cap comprises a sacrificial conductor that is coupled to the conductive core of the adapter and configured to be cut through to confirm that the electrical connector assembly has been de-energized.

Abstract: A fuel pump is provided that is submersible within a fuel, for example, within a fuel tank of an automotive vehicle and is particularly suited for use with high alcohol content fuels that tend to contain ionic species. The fuel pump comprises an electric motor that includes a commutator and a negative brush electrode that is connected to a negative terminal of an external power supply. The electric motor is at least partially disposed within a metal shell that is in contact with the fuel. The metal shell is also connected to the negative terminal of the external power supply. During operation, a negative electrical potential is applied to the metal shell to preferentially react with ions within the fuel. In this manner, the metal shell serves as a anode to reduce the concentration of ionic species in the fuel, thereby decreasing reactions with the brush electrode and extending the useful life of the fuel pump.

Abstract: A waterproof, sealed splice connector includes a top cover connected to a lower section, providing a hollow interior for insertion of severed portions of an electrical cord therein. The severed portions are clamped within the splice connector and are connected to an electrically conductive connection, such as a terminal block. The splice connector may include sealed entry holes for the severed cord wire sections, to keep the splice connector waterproofed and safe.

Abstract: A card comprising an electronic module having a memory, into which a designated number of consumable units has been stored, and a metal electrical contact zone. At least one part of the contact zone is covered with a layer of readily removable material which is applied before the card is delivered to points of sale. This material must be removed to enable the card to be read. Once having been removed, the material indicates that the card has been used so that consumer fraud can be prevented in terms of the number of consumable units retained in the memory.
