  • Publication number: 20260155601
    Abstract: A position retaining member is adapted to be inserted into a connector housing and adapted to be moved between a final lock position and a pre lock position. The position retaining member includes a cantilever part and a pressing part. When the position retaining member is in the final lock position, the cantilever part is adapted to be pressed against an elastic buckle of the connector housing to hold the elastic buckle in a locking position engaged with a protrusion of a mating housing of a mating connector. When the position retaining member is in the pre lock position, the pressing part is adapted to press the elastic buckle to an unlocking position separated from the protrusion of the mating housing, allowing the connector housing to be pulled out from the mating housing.

  • Patent number: 12467013
    Abstract: A method for extracting high-quality krill oil from krill includes the following steps: S1. performing extraction on krill with an organic solvent, and collecting an extracting solution; S2. adding alkaline water to the extracting solution to enable a free fatty acid to form a fatty acid salt to be separated from an oil phase, and performing oil-water phase separation and collecting the oil phase; and S3. purifying the oil phase to obtain the high-quality krill oil. In the present application, the preparation process for krill oil is optimized, organic solvent extraction and alkali refining are ingeniously combined, and process parameters are adjusted and optimized, thereby reducing the acid value of krill oil, and also ensuring the content of active ingredients such as phospholipid and astaxanthin in krill oil to the greatest extent, and improving the quality of krill oil.

  • Patent number: 12224525
    Abstract: A connector and a connector assembly are disclosed. The connector assembly can have: a first connector having a first housing on which a first latch device is formed; and a second connector having a second housing on which a first latch slot and a padlock hole are formed. When the first connector and the second connector are assembled to a pre lock position, the first latch device is locked into the first latch slot and blocked by a padlock locked into the padlock hole to prevent the first connector and the second connector from being further assembled to a final lock position. Therefore, the present invention can reliably prevent the first connector and the second connector from being accidentally matched together and improve the safety.
