Publication number: 20240238780Abstract: An object is to provide a micro-analysis chip with which stable ion concentration measurement can be performed without increasing a chip size or prolonging a measurement time. In order to achieve this object, the following micro-analysis chip is provided. That is, provided is a micro-analysis chip when an average areal velocity which is an area of a region that a specimen has permeated during a period until a dispensed specimen reaches a reference electrode is represented by V1, and when an average areal velocity which is an area of a region that the specimen has permeated during a period until the dispensed specimen fills an inside of a first channel chamber after the dispensed specimen has reached the reference electrode is represented by V2, the average areal velocity V1 and the average areal velocity V2 satisfy a relationship of V1>V2.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2024Publication date: July 18, 2024Inventors: FUKA ENOKIDO, MAKOTO FUKATSU, JUN MIURA, MASANORI TANAKA, HARUNOBU MAEDA, KATSUICHI ABE, AKIHISA MATSUKAWA, YASUKAZU IKAMI, Keiji Miyazaki, TAKESHI YAMAMOTO

Patent number: 7976327Abstract: A card connector is adapted to receive first and second electronic cards, each having a plurality of contact pads. The second card being wider than the first card. The connector includes an insulative housing with a plurality of first and second terminals mounted therein for engaging respective ones of the contact pads of the electronic cards when the cards are inserted into the connector. A cover member is pivotally mounted on the housing to permit movement of the cover member between an open position at which one of said first and second electronic cards may be inserted and a closed position at which the electronic card inserted into the cover is operatively positioned within the connector. The cover member has first and second sets of positioning members configured to position and hold electronic cards exclusively at the desired location for such card and wherein some of the positioning members of the first set also act as positioning members of the second set.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2008Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Yasuyoshi Matsumoto, Mitsuhiro Tomita, Jun Matsukawa, Kazuo Matsukawa, legal representative, Yuji Naito

Patent number: 7467959Abstract: A memory card connector (10) is provided with an insulating housing (12) having a rear terminal-mounting section (26) which mounts a plurality of terminals having contact portions for engaging appropriate contacts on a memory card (22). A metal shell (14) is mounted on the housing and combines therewith to define a cavity having a front insertion opening to permit insertion and withdrawal of the memory card into and out of the connector. A card eject mechanism includes a slider (50) movably mounted on the housing and engageable with the memory card for movement therewith into and out of the cavity. The slider has a cam slot (52) defining movement of the card in the card-insertion and card-withdrawal directions. A cam pin (64) is operatively engageable in the cam slot of the slider. The cam pin (64) is formed from the metal shell.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2004Date of Patent: December 23, 2008Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Jun Matsukawa, Mitsuhiro Tomita

Patent number: 7367828Abstract: A memory card connector includes an insulative housing having a rear terminal-mounting section which mounts a plurality of terminals having contact portions for engaging appropriate contacts on a memory card. A metal shell is mounted on the housing and combines therewith to define an interior card-receiving cavity formed by a top plate and opposite side plates of the metal shell. The cavity has a front insertion opening to permit insertion and withdrawal of the memory card into and out of the connector. The terminal-mounting section of the housing is located at the rear of the cavity. A card ejector mechanism is located at least partially beneath the cavity adjacent one side thereof, whereby the opposite side plates of the metal shell define the opposite sides of the cavity.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2004Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Jun Matsukawa, Mitsuhiro Tomita

Patent number: 7335064Abstract: A memory card connector includes an interior cavity for receiving a memory card. An insulating housing has a rear terminal-mounting section and at least one longitudinal side wall section extending forwardly from one end of the rear section. A metal shell covers at least a portion of the insulating housing and includes a cover plate overlying at least a portion of the longitudinal side wall section of the housing An engaging structure includes an engaging projection on one of the cover plate of the metal shell or the top surface of the side wall section of the housing extending into an engaging opening in the other of the cover plate or top surface to prevent relative movement therebetween in a plane generally parallel to the cover plate and top surface. A slight clearance is provided between the engaging projection and the engaging opening to avoid creating residual stresses in the housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2003Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Jun Matsukawa, Mitsuhiro Tomita, Yasuyoshi Matsumoto

Patent number: 7238034Abstract: A memory card connector has an interior cavity into which a memory card is inserted to a temporary retained position and then to a fully inserted position. The connector includes an insulating housing having a rear terminal-mounting section at a rear of the cavity. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the terminal-mounting section and have contact portions for engaging contacts on the memory card. A slider is movably mounted on the housing and is engageable with the memory card for movement therewith. The slider is slidable along a side wall of the housing. The slider has a projection engageable in a recess in a side of the memory card. A sheet metal shell covers at least a portion of the insulating housing and includes a cover plate overlying at least a portion of the cavity. A side wall plate depends from the cover plate and overlies at least a portion of the side wall of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2003Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Jun Matsukawa, Mitsuhiro Tomita, Yasuyoshi Matsumoto, Koji Yamane
