  • Publication number: 20040137787
    Abstract: A terminal with a heat shrink tube for wrapping connected wires includes a metal sleeve being made of copper and having an enlarged portion formed on one end of the metal sleeve. The metal sleeve receives at least one stripped litz wire and is securely electrically connected to the at least one stripped litz wire after being clamped. A plastic collar is longitudinally connected to the enlarged portion of the metal sleeve. The plastic collar is a heat shrink tube and has a tapered portion formed on one end of the plastic collar. The tapered portion is connected to the enlarged portion of the metal sleeve such that a diameter of the tapered portion is gradually reduced relative to the metal and adapted for guiding the at least one stripped litz wire into the metal sleeve.

  • Patent number: 6507881
    Abstract: A system for programming a periphery flash ROM is provided. The system in-cludes a host computer, an IDE interface, a flash controller, a flash ROM, and a micro-processor. The flash controller is coupled to the host computer through the IDE interface. The flash ROM and the microprocessor are also coupled to the flash controller. When the system enters a flash ROM programming mode, task files used between the IDE interface and the host computer are redefined by the host computer and is interpreted by the flash controller so that a firmware code from the host computer is written into the flash ROM through the flash controller. After the flash ROM is completely programmed, the task files return to their original definition. The microprocessor is required to disable the access to the flash ROM during the flash ROM programming mode.

  • Patent number: 6050841
    Abstract: An electric connector includes a base seat and an electric conductive member. The conductive member is formed with notches and bent sections having bending angles. The bending angles can be changed to vary the gap between a free face of the bent section and an inner face of the notch to meet the requirement of different diameters of conductive wires. The conductive wires can be firmly fixedly electrically connected with each other by the conductive member so that it is no more necessary to prepare various kinds of electric connectors with different wire diameters. Therefore, the stock amount is reduced and the products can be easily distinguished from each other. Also, the assembling operation is facilitated and the possibility of mis-assembling is minimized.
