  • Publication number: 20240088597
    Abstract: A connector module includes an insulator formed with a terminal slot for accommodating a terminal and a tool insertion port in communication with the terminal slot. A terminal locking member of the connector is installed on the insulator and movable between a pre locking position separated from the terminal and a final locking position engaged with the terminal. When the terminal locking member is in the pre locking position, the tool insertion port is not blocked by the terminal locking member to allow an operating tool to be inserted into the terminal slot through the tool insertion port to drive a locking spring of the terminal to an unlocking position separated from the insulator. With the terminal locking member in the final locking position, the tool insertion port is blocked by the terminal locking member to prevent the operating tool from being inserted into the terminal slot through the tool insertion port.

  • Publication number: 20070204104
    Abstract: In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides a method of providing transparent file backup service based on networked computers. The method includes establishing an online redundant array of independent disks (RAID) of a plurality of networked computers maintained by a central service controller on a server. The plurality of networked computers belong to one or more subscribed users. The method further includes storing backup files of each subscribed user on the online RAID. Each subscribed user dedicating at least a portion of storage spaces on corresponding computers to the online RAID for backup files of one or more alternative subscribed users. The central service controller in conjunction of a client software running on each user's computer is configured to coordinate backup file distribution and restoration.
