Abstract: An electrical plug connector assembly has an insulative housing, a first terminal set, a second terminal set and a circuit board. The first and second terminal sets are mounted in the insulative housing. The first terminal set has multiple first conductive terminals each including a first soldering section. The second terminal set has multiple second conductive terminals each including a second soldering section.

The production rate of the electrical plug connector assembly is therefore improved.

Abstract: There are provided a remote behavior navigation system and a method thereof, which allow an instructor at a remote location to perform guidance to a worker while watching a work video picture of the worker. Corresponding to a video picture from a worker-side camera at time t1, an instructor-side computer extracts a work instruction video picture from a video picture of an instructor-side camera at time t2. The instructor-side computer superimposes the work instruction video picture at the time t2 on the video picture from the worker-side camera at the time t1, and displays the superimposed video picture on an instructor-side monitor. A worker-side computer provides the work instruction video picture at the time t2 with a time difference correction, then superimposes the corrected work instruction video picture on a video picture from the worker-side camera at time t3, and displays the superimposed video picture on a worker-side monitor.

Abstract: An IOMMU for controlling requests by an I/O device to a system memory of a computer system includes control logic and a cache memory. The control logic may translate an address received in a request from the I/O device. If the request includes a transaction layer protocol (TLP) packet with a process address space identifier (PASID) prefix, the control logic may perform a two-level guest translation. Accordingly, the control logic may access a set of guest page tables to translate the address received in the request. A pointer in a last guest page table points to a first table in a set of nested page tables. The control logic may use the pointer in a last guest page table to access the set of nested page tables to obtain a system physical address (SPA) that corresponds to a physical page in the system memory. The cache memory stores completed translations.
