  • CONNECTOR, CONNECTOR SET, CABLE, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20210072470
    Abstract: [Abstract] [Object] To provide a connector, a connector set, a cable, and an electronic apparatus that prevent light from an optical transmission path from being directly emitted to the outside of an optical connector during non-optical coupling. [Solving Means] A connector includes an optical component and a movable member. The optical component emits light. Light from the optical component is incident upon the movable member and the movable member is movable between a first state taken during non-fitting to a counterpart connector and a second state taken during fitting to the counterpart connector. Incident light incident upon the movable member from the optical component is, in the first state, attenuated and emitted to an outside such that power of the light is lower than power of the light when the movable member is held in the second state.

  • Metal contamination inhibitor, metal contamination inhibition membrane, method for preventing metal contamination, and method for cleaning product
    Patent number: 10717076
    Abstract: The present invention reduces adhesion of trace metals in ultrapure water for cleaning products, and inhibits the metal contamination of an object to be cleaned. Provided is a metal contamination inhibitor that contains a polymer having an ion-exchange group, such as a polystyrene sulfonate having a molecular weight of at least 100,000. Trace metals in ultrapure water are adsorbed through an ion-exchange reaction of the polymer having the ion-exchange group, and can thus be inhibited from adhering to products. Also provided is a method for cleaning a product with ultrapure water to which the metal contamination inhibitor has been added. Preferably, the ultrapure water to which the metal contamination inhibitor has been added flows through a separation membrane module, and the products are cleaned with permeated water.
