Abstract: A test apparatus detects the presence of a connector such as a body clip within a holder of a wiring harness assembly board and is configured to confirm at least one characteristic of the connector defined by a positional relationship between two features of the connector. The holder has a receiving section for receiving the connector, and first and second contact elements that are engaged by the first and second features of the connector when it is inserted in the holder. The first and second contact elements are operative to activate a signal generator. The first and second contact elements have a positional relationship corresponding to the desired characteristic of the connector and are configured such that the signal generator is only operated when the first and second contact elements are contacted simultaneously by the first and second features of the connector.

Abstract: Modular valve for internal combustion engines to control the passage of gases or other aggressive fluids through an aperture in temperature environments from ?40° C. to 700° C., said valve having several parts in stacked layers, that it has at least 2 parts wherein: the at least one core component (1) has a thickness (0.02 mm to 0.05 mm) much less than the thickness of the support plate (2) (0.05 mm to 2.0 mm), and the at least one core component (1) and the at least one support plate (2) are attached, and the at least one core component (1) has the remaining dimensions higher than those of the at least one support plate (2a, 2b), in order to form a protruding edge (1r) which will deflect in the contact area with the wall of the opening (5) when pressed against the wall of the opening (5) thereby increasing the valve closing angle.
