Abstract: Quantity and time for medical operation are measured after starting the medical operation (step S1). Parameters in a parameter protection mode and parameters in a standard mode are compared so as to determine whether or not contents in the parameters coincide and whether or not five minutes passes (step S2). If five minutes do not pass, it is detected whether or not a power supply switch is turned off (step S4). If it is not turned off, the operation returns to the step S1 so as to determine whether or not the power supply is turned off within five minutes in steps S3 and S4 while measuring the quantity and the time for the medical operation. If five minutes passes without turning off the power supply, data for the quantity and the time for the medical operation are loaded in a memory (step S5). After that, the operation is completed.

The first connector unit comprises a photoelectric conversion module and an electrical connector section having a first conductor which is electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion module. The second connector unit is formed as an electrical connector unit corresponding to the electrical connector section of the first connector unit and having a second conductor. The first conductor of the electrical connector section of the first connector unit and the second conductor of the second connector unit are electrically connected to each other when the electrical connector section of the first connector unit and the second connector unit are connected to each other by use of their electrical connector structures.

Abstract: A card connector include a housing with a contact; an ejector provided inside the housing to be slidable between a holding position and a temporary holding position in a card insertion and pull-out direction; and an elastic member provided inside the housing for urging the ejector from the holding position to the temporary holding position. The ejector has a corresponding locking portion to be locked with a locking portion of the card. The ejector is slidable between the holding position and the temporary holding position while being locked with the locking portion. When the card is moved toward the card insertion slot beyond the temporary holding position, the corresponding locking portion contacts with the card. Accordingly, the corresponding locking portion moves away from the locking portion, and the elastic member moves away from the locking portion, so that the locking portion is unlocked from the corresponding locking portion.

Abstract: An electrical connector is connected to a flat conductive member having a connecting portion. The electrical connector includes a housing formed of an insulating material and having a receptacle space for receiving the flat conductive member; a terminal arranged in the housing along a first direction; a metal member disposed in the housing, said metal member including an attaching portion attached to the housing, an arm portion extending from the attaching portion, and an extending portion extending inward from the arm portion; and a pressing member supported on one of the housing, the terminal, and the metal member to be rotatable for pressing a contact portion of the terminal against the connecting portion. The extending portion extends close to the flat conductive member and overlaps with the flat conductive member when the flat conductive member is inserted into the receptacle space.

Abstract: A connector for a flat conductor includes a terminal maintaining a flat plane shape and having a fixed arm portion and a movable arm portion extending in a same direction. The fixed arm portion and the movable arm portion are connected through a joining portion at an intermediate portion thereof in a longitudinal direction thereof. A housing securely holds the fixed arm portion. The movable arm portion has a press portion on one end thereof in a longitudinal direction thereof and a pressed portion on the other end thereof. A cam portion of a pressure member presses the pressed portion to displace the pressed portion when the pressure member moves in a specific direction. When the pressed portion is displaced within the plane, the movable arm portion is displaced around the joining portion as a lever to displace the press portion, so that the press portion presses the flat conductor.
