  • Patent number: 10608375
    Abstract: A connector assembly comprises a first connector and a second connector matable with the first connector in a mating direction. The first connector includes a housing and a slider held by the housing and slidable with respect to the housing in a direction intersecting the mating direction. The slider has a slider backlash restraining device disposed on an inner wall. The slider slides in a first direction to cause the second connector to move in the mating direction and slides in a second direction opposite to the first direction to cause the second connector to move in a direction opposite to the mating direction. The second connector has a connector backlash restraining device disposed on an outer wall of the second connector. The slider backlash restraining device abuts the connector backlash restraining device when the first connector is mated with the second connector.

  • Patent number: 9114797
    Abstract: An engine control apparatus includes a first operation member and a second operation member for braking a front wheel and a rear wheel of a saddle-type vehicle, and an engine controller that automatically stops and restarts an engine mounted in the saddle-type vehicle in response to the operational state of the first operation member and the second operation member. When a prescribed amount of time has passed while the first operation member and the second operation member are both in an operated state, the engine controller automatically stops the engine; when the first operation member and the second operation member are both released, the engine controller restarts the engine; and when either one of the first operation member and the second operation member is operated after the engine has automatically been stopped, the engine controller allows the engine to continue in the automatically stopped state.
