  • Patent number: 9903538
    Abstract: A connector capable of easily holding, and establishing electrical connection of, an LED module substrate and achieving highly-reliable electrical connection is provided. The connector for holding, and establishing electrical connection of, an LED module substrate includes: a lower cover member for placing the LED module substrate thereon; and an upper cover member pivotally attached to an end of the lower cover member. The upper cover member includes a feeding connection terminal configured to be elastically in contact with a feeding pad provided in the LED module substrate. When the upper cover member is closed relative to the lower cover member with a pivotal movement, the connection terminal elastically connects with a surface of the feeding pad while sliding thereon.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120231644
    Abstract: Electrical connection reliability of a vehicle charge cable socket connector is maintained for a long period. Dust particles and rain drops that inevitably get into a socket contact can be let out through a contact through hole and a housing through hole that extend from inside the socket contact to outside a housing. Such a configuration can avoid adverse effects of dust particles and drain drops on electrical contact and maintain high connection reliability for a long period.

  • Patent number: 6647550
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a racing swimsuit and provides a racing swimsuit capable of reducing surface friction resistance and frictional resistance of turbulence in water. The present invention can reduce the surface frictional resistance in water by the provision of a water repellent region on the surface of a swimsuit as well as makes it possible to reduce the frictional resistance of turbulence occurred on the surface of the swimsuit of a racer by the formation of a plurality of fine grooves parallel to a body lengthwise direction.

  • Publication number: 20030007641
    Abstract: A wireless data communication device for performing a short-distance wireless data communication. The device comprises an infrared communication section, a CPU, a memory, an encryption/decryption unit, and a wireless communication section. The infrared communication section exchanges shared key data with a station that is another party of wireless data communication. The key data is required in identifying the station and encrypting data to be transmitted to the station. The CPU stores the shared key data into the memory. The key data is read from the memory. Using the key data, the encryption/decryption unit encrypts and decrypts data. The wireless communication section receives the data encrypted by the encryption/decryption unit and transmits it to external apparatuses.
