Abstract: In a connector including a first contact having a terminal portion to be connected to a center conductor of a cable, a second contact is held together with the first contact by a housing. The second contact has a grounding terminal portion. A ground bar clamps the cable and is connected to an outer conductor of the cable. A shell is coupled to the housing. The ground bar has a contact connecting terminal to be connected to the grounding terminal portion of the second contact. The shell at least covers the terminal portion of the first contact, the grounding terminal portion of the second contact, and the ground bar. At least one of the ground bar and the shell has a shell connecting terminal to be connected to a shell of a mating connector.

Abstract: A position detection system includes: a scan beam illumination section which causes a first-direction line-shaped scan beam that is parallel to the X-axis to scan in the Y-axis direction at a predetermined scanning speed, then causes a second-direction line-shaped scan beam that is parallel to the Y-axis to scan in the X-axis direction at a predetermined scanning speed; a light-receiving section which detects the timings at which the first and second-direction line-shaped scan beams pass through a pointing position on a screen; and a position calculation section which calculates the pointing position by a pointing device on the screen, based on the time from the start of scanning of the first-direction line-shaped scan beam until the passage thereof through the pointing position is detected and the time from the start of scanning of the second-direction line-shaped scan beam until the passage thereof through the pointing position is detected.

Abstract: A connector adapted for connection to cables has a retaining member that aligns and retains the cables. The retaining member has a body portion and a bar-shaped member. The body portion has a plurality of fixing portions for fixedly retaining the bar-shaped member. The cables are firmly sandwiched between the body portion and the bar-shaped member.

Abstract: The preferential order to be applied in replica forming processing for the data of a plurality of types is stored when a replica of a master database that stores the data of a plurality of types is prepared. The update data of the master database is preferentially extracted according to the preferential order, and the replica is updated in the order of extraction with the extracted update data.

Abstract: In a connector having a connector body for being connected to a mating object, an operating member is coupled to the connector body for making the connector body be disconnected from the mating object in a disconnection direction. The operating-member is rotatable relative to the connector body and has an engaging portion for being engaged with the mating object in the disconnection direction when the operating member is angularly offset from the disconnection direction. The connector body has a cam portion which is engaged with the operating member to make the engaging portion be disengaged from the mating object when the operating member is substantially parallel to the disconnection direction.

Abstract: In a connector device for use in connecting a connecting member (20) which has an end portion provided with a conductive portion, a plug connector (10) is removably coupled to a receptacle connector (30) by fitting therebetween. In the plug connector, an insulator (1) defines a receiving space (1a) for receiving the end portion of the connecting member. A conductive contact (3) is held in the insulator and formed to become in contact with a receptacle-side contact (33) of the receptacle connector when the plug connector is coupled to the receptacle connector. A slider member (5) is slidably inserted in the receiving space to make the conductive portion be brought in contact with the conductive contact in the receiving space.
