Abstract: The apparatus (1) is designed to mix at least two ingredients coming from at least two distinct reservoirs (2, 3). It has at least two distinct orifices (6, 7) suitable for being connected to the reservoirs (2, 3), a motor-driven pump (15), a fluid-connection selector (9) including at least one network of through channels (12) suitable for putting at least one of the orifices into communication with the pump (15), the fluid-connection selector (9) being arranged to be movable between a plurality of positions in order to make it possible, selectively and by means of the pump (15), to transfer at least one ingredient from one orifice to the other orifice or towards the pump (15) and to blend the resulting mixture.

Abstract: An input/output connector for a portable communication device, wherein the input/output connector is to be surface mounted on a printed circuit board. The input/output connector comprises an insulating housing, contacts and means for shaping the contacts. The insulating housing has two positioning dogs fixed to lateral parts of the insulating housing. The two positioning dogs are to be soldered to the printed circuit board when the input/output connector is mounted thereto. The contacts are also to be soldered to the printed circuit board when the input/output connector is surfaced mounted to the printed circuit board. The means for shaping the contacts are received and mounted rigidly on a specified reference surface of the insulating housing. The means for shaping the contacts constrain and wedge the contacts relative to the reference surface of the insulating housing so that each of the contacts is contained in a common plane of reference for the coflatness of the contacts.
