Abstract: A connector apparatus having a coupling detecting function which has a highly reliable electric connection between the coupling detecting electrical contact elements. The connector apparatus includes a resilient locking arm and a cooperable engaging element provided on first and second housings, respectively. A pair of coupling detecting contact elements are disposed in a movement-permitting spacing of the first housing for the locking arm, and each has a contact portion which is displaced in response to displacement of the locking arm. A short-circuiting contact element is secured to the engaging element. When the two housings are coupled completely to each other, the coupling detecting contact elements are allowed to contact with the short-circulating element to establish an electrical connection between them.

Abstract: A movement for instrument is of thin construction. A rotatably supported shaft extends through a thin magnet and supports the magnet on it. The magnet radiates a magnetic field that varies in magnetic field strength in accordance with a sine function along a circular path about the shaft. A signal generator provides a first current and a second current. First straight conductors are disposed in a first direction parallel to the surface of the thin magnet, are laid in the magnetic field of the magnet, and are supplied with the first current through them. Second straight conductors are disposed in a second direction parallel to the surface of the magnet and transverse to the first direction. The second conductors are laid in the magnetic field of the magnet and are supplied with the second current through them. Thus, the magnet is angularly positioned in accordance with the magnitudes and directions of said first and second currents, thereby causing the pointer to indicate the angular position of the magnet.

Abstract: Stable, rapidly soluble, lyophilized injectable preparations comprising an anthracycline glycoside, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as the active drug substance, and use of said preparations in the treatment of tumors.

Abstract: A connector housing has terminal accommodating cavities therein and a first engagement projection in each of the cavities. A terminal locking block has a locking claw on a preliminary locking plate that loosely connects the block to the connector housing. The block also has second engagement projections on a flexible terminal locking plate. When the terminals are inserted into the cavities of the connector housing, the front end of the terminals abuts against the end of the flexible terminal locking plate and thereby pushes the block partly out of the housing. When the terminals are fully inserted, a space is formed in the cavities so that the block can be pushed into the housing until the second engagement projections snap into the engagement holes in the inserted terminals, thus locking the terminals and the block securely together.

Abstract: A working amount detecting marker formed by laminating first and second marker layers each having a predetermined shape when seen from above. Two sides contouring the respective marker layers intersect each other at a point located at a specified position where working is to be completed. When the portion of a magnetic head to be opposed to magnetic recording media is formed by grinding or grooving, the sectional configuration appears on the ground surface, indicating whether the amount of grinding or grooving is insufficient or excessive. The point of intersection, when appearing on the ground surface, readily indicates completion of grinding or grooving with high accuracy.
