Abstract: The invention relates to a connector pair (1,2), for detachably connecting two cable ends (3,4), cords, optical fibres or hoses, which will not disconnect when a pulling force is applied to a cable. For that purpose the first connector (1) is provided with at least one male coupling part (5a, 5b) and a second connector (2) is provided with at least one female coupling part (6a,6b) which are positioned in relation to the two ends in such a manner that an angle between a cable end, cord, optical fibre or hose and a pointing direction of a corresponding coupling part is an acute angle.

Abstract: The specification discloses a method and apparatus for encoding and decoding a variable length augmented code for use in the transmission of sequential information as an indefinite length string of data. Both binary and alternate character code sets are discussed for transmitting and translating information. The variable length code symbols are self synchronizing, and will automatically reestablish synchronization within two characters if a bit or number of bits is lost through noise or faulty transmission. The resynchronization is automatic and occurs by virtue of the construction of the variable length augmented codes. In addition, a method and means of creating a fixed length depleted code for use in digital processors and digital storage media is also disclosed.
