Abstract: An electrical component (1) includes a bracket (30) and a connector (10) that is mountable to a mount hole (R2) of a casing (R). The bracket (30) prevents loose movements of the connector (10) until immediately before the connector (10) is mounted into the mount hole (R2) while permitting loose movements of the connector (10) in the course of mounting the connector (10) into the mount hole (R2).

Abstract: A technique to transfer a first telephony session between a first telephony device and a second telephony device from being conducted through a first network interface of the first telephony device to being conducted through a second network interface of the first telephony device includes the following. A second telephony session between the first network interface and the second network interface is initiated, and subsequently a media termination point of the first telephony session is changed from the first network interface to the second network interface. The technique further includes changing a media termination point of the second telephony session from the first network interface to a location associated with the second telephony device.

Abstract: A casing (10) is formed by insert molding using an inner portion (30) holding busbars (20) as an insert. The inner portion 30 includes an interlocking portion (33) to be hooked in a mold for molding the casing (10), and is so positioned and supported in the mold by the presence of the interlocking portion (33) as to project from the inner wall surface of the mold. The interlocking portion (33) is formed to project toward the inside of the casing (10) from the inner surface of the casing (10). The casing (10) is formed by covering the inner portion (30) excluding the interlocking portion (33) by a resin portion (13).

Abstract: A ground wire connection nut (14A) and a cover-fixing nut (14B) are molded in a case (12) at positions shifted in an axial direction thereof. Caps (17) are mounted on each nut (14A, 14B). First and second receiving surfaces (33A, 33B) are formed on each cap (17) at positions shifted in the axial direction. First and second positioning portions (30A, 30B) are formed in a die (36) and contact the first and second receiving surfaces (33A, 33B) respectively. An axial length of each positioning portion (30) is set according to the specified position of each nut (14A, 14B). The same kind of the caps (17) can be used commonly for the nuts (14A, 14B) to reduce the manufacturing cost.

Abstract: A system includes a mobile unit, a client and a remote server. The mobile unit is adapted to acquire information about a region near the mobile unit, determine a location of the mobile unit and transmit an indication of the information and location. The remote server is adapted to communicate with the mobile unit to receive the indication from the mobile unit and communicate at least some of the information to the client.

Abstract: A technique includes selectively preventing decryption of a file by a client based on whether a network connection exists between the client and a server.

Abstract: A first electronic control unit (10) provided with a printed circuit board (13) and a second electronic control unit (E) having pressure sensors (30) mounted therein can be assembled with each other. Intermediate connectors (40) are mounted in the first electronic control unit (10), and terminal fittings (42) are accommodated therein. Each terminal fitting (42) is provided with a board-side connecting portion (53) to be soldered to the printed circuit board (13) and a resilient contact piece (51) to be resiliently brought into contact with a terminal portion (32) of the pressure sensor (30).

Abstract: A piezoelectric oscillator comprising a piezoelectric vibrator with a piezoelectric vibrating element housed in a package and bottom terminals formed on the outer side of the bottom of the package, a circuit board with at least one electronic circuit component mounted and conductor patterns formed on the top side, and columnlike supports which mechanically and electrically connects the bottom terminals of the piezoelectric vibrator and the conductor patterns on the circuit board. The piezoelectric oscillator has a smaller board occupation area, and can be manufactured by quantity production using a batch process at a high productivity and a reduced cost.

Abstract: A method that is useable with a wireless medium and local stations includes communicating a request between one of the local stations and a central authority to reserve a time slot for transmitting from the local station. The central authority is used to selectively reserve the time slot based on at least in part a reservation schedule. If the central authority reserves the time slot, then during the time slot, the central authority prevents the other local stations from transmitting.

Abstract: Piezo oscillators having a quick start-up circuit, which applies a start-up quickening voltage to the piezo resonator only for a predetermined length of time after the application of power supply voltage, added to a piezo oscillating circuit. The start-up time taken for the piezo oscillators to reach the steady-estate oscillation from the non-oscillating state can be significantly shortened. The phase noise characteristics and frequency stability characteristics are not affected, since the start-up quickening voltage is removed after the predetermined length of time.

Abstract: A probe (20) has a holder (21) with a small-diameter portion- (25) and a stepped surface (33) at a base end of the small diameter portion (25). The stepped surface (33) is recessed over the entire circumference of a base end of a small-diameter portion (25) to form a groove (40) and an inner corner of the groove (40) is rounded. The probe (20) is mounted by resiliently pressing the stepped surface (33) against the edge of a mount hole (15) in a base plate (13) of a brake shoe (12). A bending force acts on the small-diameter portion (25) of the holder (21) due to the sliding contact of the brake drum (10). However, the rounded portion (41) at the bottom of the groove (40) avoids a stress concentration on an inner corner of the base end of the small diameter portion (25).

Abstract: A wear detection probe for detection of wear of a braking member is mounted in or adjacent to the braking member. The wear detection probe includes a holder having a detection wire in a wiring path. The detection wire has a folded portion, and two portions extending from the folded portion in a direction substantially parallel to the surface of the brake rotor. An apex of the folded portion of the detection wire is nearer than the straight portions to the wear surface of the holder, so that after a predetermined amount of wear, the folded portion is broken without breaking the straight portions. The probe is compact, and the wire remains securely in position during use.

Abstract: A system for limiting unauthorized access to a network comprises an IP assignment system and an access system. The IP assignment system includes a random number generator capable to generate a random number between a minimum and maximum leasing time; and an IP assignment engine, communicatively coupled to the generator, capable to receive, from a client, a request for an IP address, assign an IP address to the client, randomly determine, using the generator, a leasing time for the IP address, and send, to the client, a packet that includes the IP address and leasing time. The access system includes a packet monitoring engine capable to receive a packet sent to a client, the packet including an IP address, a random leasing time and a renewal window; and an access engine, communicatively coupled to the packet monitoring engine, capable to enable the client to access a network and terminate access to the network if a renewal packet is not received during the renewal window.
