  • Patent number: 8720952
    Abstract: A connector includes a female member, and a checking member. The female member has a housing being provided with paired windows. The checking member is assembled outward with and retained onto the housing from the axially perpendicular direction, and has a letter “C”-shaped portion and paired locker protrusions. The locker protrusions have a first locker, a leading-end contact, and an inclined second locker, respectively. The first lockers inhibit an assembly-line worker or robot from pulling the checking member from out of the housing. The leading-end contacts expand the letter “C”-shaped portion diametrically when a male member is inserted into the female member completely. The inclined second lockers inhibit elastic force, which arises in the letter “C”-shaped portion, from removing the checking member from the housing. The housing further has a fitting dent. The checking member's letter “C”-shaped portion has a fitting protrusion that fits into the fitting dent.

  • Patent number: 6195789
    Abstract: A method for designing a circuit on a spherical shaped semiconductor device using a great circle and a small, which is either parallel or perpendicular to the great circle, to define critical dimensions needed for the circuit. A great-circle-small-circle framework is used that has at least one great circle and one small circle that define a critical dimension on the surface of the sphere.
