  • Patent number: 9748685
    Abstract: A multi-contact terminal is provided integrally with an angular tube having a polygonal tube shape and a plurality of resilient contact pieces extending from side walls of the angular tube and to be resiliently brought into contact with an outer peripheral surface of a mating terminal in the form of a round bar inside the angular tube. According to this configuration, the angular tube functions as a cover for protecting the resilient contact pieces. In addition, since the resilient contact pieces and the angular tube are integrated, the number of components can be reduced. The resilient contact pieces are equal in length in a connecting direction to the mating terminal and arranged at positions different in the connecting direction to the mating terminal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7704694
    Abstract: A method for detecting species in a target plant genus comprises the steps of conducting PCR using at least one member selected from the group consisting of primers (A) and (B), which can hybridize under stringent conditions to a nucleic acid molecule having a common nucleotide sequence for all species in the target plant genus in 45S rRNA precursor gene sequence thereof, wherein 3? end of primer (A) can complementarily bind to a base in ITS-1 sequence of the target plant genus when the primer hybridizes to the nucleic acid molecule while 3? end of primer (B) can complementarily bind to a base in ITS-2 sequence of the target plant genus when the primer hybridizes to the nucleic acid molecule, and identifying the presence of the resulting amplification product from PCR containing at least a part of ITS-1 or ITS-2 sequence of the target plant genus The method for detecting species in a target plant genus, particularly an allergenic plant genus such as the genus Fagopyrum, can make it possible to detect with hig

  • Publication number: 20080064028
    Abstract: Provided is a method of quantifying a specific plant genus in a food or a food ingredient by a PCR method, comprising: (i) preparing a sample for correction where a sample derived from the specific plant genus to be detected and a standard plant sample are mixed in a predetermined ratio, and extracting genomic DNA from the sample for correction; (ii) preparing a test sample where a known amount of the standard plant sample is added to the food or the food ingredient to be examined, and extracting genomic DNA from the test sample; (iii) practicing a quantitative PCR method using the genomic DNAs and primers; and (iv) conducting correction with a standard value for correction determined for the sample for correction to calculate the amount of the specific plant ingredient contained in the test sample.

  • Publication number: 20060128204
    Abstract: An electric connector having a housing in which there are disposed, side by side, a plurality of wire holding portions for holding the insulations of insulated wires. Each wire holding portion has: a pair of wire holding pieces disposed as facing each other to form a wire holding groove; and wire hold-down pieces not only for guiding, in the vertical direction, the insertion of the insulated wire into the wire holding groove, but also for preventing the insulated wire from coming off from the wire holding groove. The plurality of wire holding portions has: a first wire holding portion having wire hold-down pieces at a first wire hold-down position; and a second wire holding portion disposed adjacent to the first wire holding portion, and having wire hold-down pieces at a second wire hold-down position different from the first wire hold-down position.

  • Patent number: 7056146
    Abstract: An insulation displacement contact includes a pair of insulation displacement blades and a pair of resilient contact pieces. The pair of insulation displacement blades are opposite to each other with their bases connected to each other such that there is formed, by their inner sides, a slot for receiving an insulated wire of which core wire portion is covered with an insulation. The pair of insulation displacement blades are arranged such that when the insulated wire is inserted into the slot, the insulation is cut and the core wire portion comes in press-contact with the insulation displacement blades.
