Abstract: A crimp terminal has a crimp portion that is formed by bending a plate material into a hollow shape and that has at one end thereof an opening capable of accommodating and crimping a conductor portion of a coated wire. The crimp terminal includes a first weld portion obtained by bringing two edge portions of the crimp portion in close proximity to each other and joining by laser welding, and a second weld portion obtained by forming a lapped portion by overlapping of a transition portion formed at an opposite end of the crimp portion to the opening, and closing the lapped portion by laser welding. A welding trajectory in the second weld portion is constituted by a curve, a plurality of straight lines, or a discontinuously formed line.

Abstract: A connecting structure is applied for connecting an electric wire and a terminal. For coating a connecting portion of a conductor of the electric wire and the terminal, which form a wire harness, with a coating resin, a portion of an insulator, which is to be inserted into a terminal insertion hole of a connector housing, is subjected to a diameter reduction process such that an outer diameter of the coating resin coated on the insulator is smaller than the terminal insertion hole.

Abstract: A lever type connector in which a connector holder is reliably fit into a receptacle holder to prevent a half-fitting is provided. In the lever type connector, a restricting recess is provided on the front side of an arm plate of a lever, and below a multiple force recess. When a connector holder is inserted into the receptacle, a rear surface of the restricting recess abuts to a rear surface of a receiving portion to restrict rotation of the lever. Then, when the connector holder is pushed down to the standby position where the receiving portion is inserted into the multiple force recess, the restricting recess is away from the rear surface of the receiving portion, so that restriction of rotation of the lever is cancelled.

Abstract: A lever connector is provided where fitting of a connector holder is reliably performed by rotation of a lever, so that workability is excellent. In a connector holder 2, a provisionally-retaining claw 17 is provided to be elastically held by a first retaining portion 14 at a predetermined rotating position in order to restrict rotation of the lever 5. In a receptacle connector 3, a pressing projection 23 is provided to move the provisionally-retaining claw 17 to a retracted position where the provisionally-retaining claw 17 is not held by the lever 5 in a state that the connector holder 2 is at a standby position, so that restriction of rotation of the lever 5 is cancelled. On the other hand, an abutting surface of the first retaining position 14 of the lever 5 is of a mountain-like shape including a restricting surface 19 and a guiding surface 20.

Abstract: A lever type connector in which a connector holder is reliably fit into a receptacle holder to prevent a half-fitting is provided. In the lever type connector, a restricting groove 19 is provided on the front side of an arm plate 6 of a lever 5, and below a multiple force groove 14. When a connector holder 2 is inserted into the receptacle 3, a rear surface of the restricting groove 19 abuts to a rear surface of a receiving portion 18 to restrict rotation of the lever 5. Then, when the connector holder 2 is pushed down to the standby position where the receiving portion 18 is inserted into the multiple force groove 14, the restricting groove 19 is away from the rear surface of the receiving portion 18, so that restriction of rotation of the lever 5 is cancelled.

Abstract: A wireless signaling system includes a plurality of transmitters and a single receiver. The transmitter sequentially transmits serial data blocks to the receiver. Each data block includes a transmitter identification code and predetermined time intervals defining the beginning and end of the data block. The receiver receives the data block, detects the time intervals before and after the received data block to recognize reception of a complete data block, and checks the transmitter identification code included in the received data block to identify the transmitter.

Abstract: An optical character reader is provided, which comprises an input for allowing a plurality of commends to be input; a reading device for reading recorded data; a memory having a first region for storing read date, a second region for storing character data corresponding to the read data, and a third region for storing the character dates an output device for supplying at least one of the character data stored in the second region of the memory and the character data stored in the third region of the memory to the information processing device; and a data processor, when a memory command is input from the input, which stores the read data in the first region of the memory, converts the read data which is stored in the first region of the memory into character data, and stores the character data in the second region of the memory, and when a read command is input from the input, which transfers the character data stored in the second region of the memory to the third region.

Abstract: A display for use in a computer, for example a word processor or a personal computer, includes a device for forming a help message on the display.

Abstract: A word processor may be used in a plurality of languages such as Japanese and English. The word processor has a function of replacing a particular symbol added with an editing symbol with a described character in automatic editing text. The capability of adding of the preferred edit data (edit symbol) to a series of particular symbols is done by arranging newly inputted data in positions of the particular symbols so that the desired edit can be performed. Where a number of newly inputted characters is smaller than that of the particular symbols, they are replaced with space codes or they are deleted. This prevents unnecessary symbols or spaces from remaining in a simplified format.
