  • Patent number: 10131646
    Abstract: Provided are: an aromatic sulfonium salt compound which exhibits low corrosion to a substrate and excellent photolithographic characteristics and is thus useful as a photoacid generator and as a cationic polymerization agent; and a photoacid generator, a resist composition, a cationic polymerization initiator and a cationically polymerizable agent composition, which include the aromatic sulfonium salt compound. The aromatic sulfonium salt compound is represented by the following Formula (I): (wherein, R1 to R10 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, a cyano group, an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms which is optionally substituted, or the like; R11 to R15 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkoxy group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms which is optionally substituted, or the like; at least one of R11 to R15 is not a hydrogen atom; and X1? represents a monovalent organic sulfonate anion).

  • Patent number: 9960983
    Abstract: [Object] A monitoring item selection method, device and a storage medium capable of simplifying operation and management of a system that frequently undergoes configuration changes are proposed. [Solution] Operation information concerning resources in the monitoring target device and nodes that run on the monitoring target device and make use of the resources to execute processing are periodically or randomly acquired from a monitoring target device. A relation between the nodes and a relation between the nodes and the resources based on the acquired operation information are extracted. Monitoring items of the monitoring target device are selected based on the operation information, the extracted relation between the nodes and relation between the nodes and the resources, and a pre-defined condition.

  • Patent number: 9065221
    Abstract: A connector is fixable to an object such as a circuit board. The connector comprises a housing having a land extending long in a lengthwise direction, a power contact, a metal plate for protecting the connector from ESD, a shell (connection member) configured to be fixed and connected to the circuit board, and a coupling member coupling the metal plate and the shell with each other. The metal plate is inserted in and held by the land. The connector is thus configured so that a static electricity is grounded to the circuit board through the metal plate, the coupling member and the shell. Moreover, the power contact is locatable at an end of the land in the lengthwise direction so that it is possible to reduce the size of the connector.

  • Patent number: 9054441
    Abstract: A connector has contacts, a housing holding the contacts, and a holder member fixed to the housing and is adapted to be fitted with a mating connector along a predetermined fitting direction. The housing has a first lateral portion on a side fitted with the mating connector and a second lateral portion on the other side opposite thereto. Each of the contacts has contact press-fit portions press-fitted into the housing from the side of a second lateral portion. The holder member has a restricting portion which is arranged adjacent to the contact on the side of the second lateral portion in the fitting direction and which restricts movement of the contact toward the second lateral portion.

  • Patent number: 9033714
    Abstract: Provided is a connector to be securely fixed on a board, especially, the connector having a high-strength shell prevented from detached from the connector. The connector has a mating portion, a plurality of the contacts, a holding member holding the contacts and a shell and to be connected with a mating connector in a front-back direction. The mating portion is positioned in forward part of the connector. The holding member is formed with a protrusive portion protruding backward. The protrusive portion is formed with a receiving portion. An edge of the shell is formed a stopper portion. The stopper portion and the receiving portion face to each other in the front-back direction. The contact has a contact-fixing portion fixed on the board. The shell has a shell-fixing portion fixed on the board. A distance between the shell-fixing portion and the mating portion is larger than another distance between the contact-fixing portion and the mating portion.
