Abstract: A connector structure includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a first connector housing and an engagement arm that can be elastically bent. The second connector includes a second connector housing, a slider provided on the second connector housing, a biasing portion that biases the second connector housing in a connector decoupling direction, and an arm engagement portion engaged with the engagement arm. During a coupling process of the first and second connectors, the slider is slid by a pressing force applied from the first connector against a biasing force generated by the biasing portion. The biasing portion includes an elastically-bendable arm provided on the slider, and a tapered surface provided on the second connector housing. The biasing force is generated as a reaction force of an elastically-restorative force of the elastically-bendable arm bent by the tapered surface.

Abstract: To provide a method of and an apparatus for displaying a structure optimizing result which are capable of displaying rigidity values calculated on the basis of an initial wall thickness value, an optimum wall thickness value, and a standard wall thickness value in such a manner that a change between two of these rigidity values is clearly indicated. The structure optimizing result is displayed wherein an actual rigidity value of a structure is calculated on the basis of an inputted initial value of a wall thickness of each component of the structure. An optimum value of the wall thickness of each of the components is calculated on the basis of a sensitivity analysis result in order to make the calculated actual rigidity value close to a required rigidity value of the structure and the calculated result is displayed.

Abstract: A character recognition section generates character recognition result information resulting from character recognition of image information. An image information cutout section cuts out character recognition image information, corresponding to an area as to which the character recognition is performed, from the image information. A recognition result generation section generates recognition result information which is composed of the character recognition result information and the character recognition image information. A recognition result transmission section transmits the recognition result information to other terminals using electronic mail. As a result, an information communications apparatus of the invention can make transmissions of information to the wide area, without increasing the network load, which is to be used for the determination of whether or not a character recognition has been accurately performed.
