The plug connector has a first printed circuit board with a conductor track connection and a plugging region for plugging the printed circuit board into the plug connector. The plugging region extends parallel to the first printed circuit board. A contact element and/or a spring element is provided in the plug connector. The plugging region and the contact element and/or the spring element are arranged in such a way that, in a plugged state of the plug connector, the printed circuit board which is plugged into the plugging region is arranged parallel to the printed circuit board and the conductor track connection is arranged opposite the conductor track connection. An electrical connection of the conductor track connection to the conductor track connection is provided by the contact element and/or the spring element.

Abstract: Disclosed is a plug-in connector module having at least one optical waveguide and at least one optical sensor, preferably a photodiode, which is arranged near the optical waveguide. The optical sensor can reliably detect malfunction of the plug-in connector module in good time. Also disclosed is a method for detecting signal losses during signal transmission in an optical plug-in connector module, in which an optical signal is guided through at least one optical waveguide of the plug-in connector module, and the optical signal is scattered in the event of a structural defect of the optical waveguide or dirt on the front surface of the optical waveguide, the scattered light reaching a photodiode and a current or a voltage being produced thereby on the photodiode. If a threshold value of the current or the voltage on the photodiode is exceeded, an interference signal is generated by an electronic evaluation system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for analyzing abnormal regions on an optical recording medium. The method includes the steps of: detecting the abnormal region; determining the type of the abnormal region; and measuring the length of the abnormal region. Before playback or recording of an optical recording medium inserted in an apparatus for reading from and/or writing to optical recording media the apparatus determines the positions, lengths and types of abnormal regions on the optical recording medium. The obtained information can then be used, for example, to avoid that during playback or recording a pickup for reading and/or recording unexpectedly encounters an abnormal region. This makes the operation of the apparatus more reliable.

Abstract: An apparatus for melt spinning a plurality of strand-like filaments through a spinneret, which is mounted within a downwardly open receptacle in a nozzle holder. The spinneret includes a housing which is deformed by the entry of the pressurized polymeric melt into an internal diffuser chamber, so as to press the spinneret against the inner wall of the receptacle and thereby seal the melt inlet of the spinneret against the melt outlet in the receptacle. Thus the high pressure forces required for sealing only arise and are active during the operational state, and the spinneret can be otherwise held in the nozzle holder under a minimal securing force which permits the spinneret to be easily loosened and removed for periodic maintenance.

Abstract: A strip line directional coupler includes a controlled amount of potting compound applied to establish a desired coupling factor between at least two cooperating strip lines. In one embodiment the strip line directional coupler is positioned in a housing that is filled with the potting compound until the desired coupling factor is established. A network analyzer monitors the coupling factor as the potting compound is added. Once the desired coupling factor is established, the flow of potting compound into the housing is automatically terminated.
