Abstract: The invention provides a connector including first and second conductive parts and a biasing device. The first and second conductive parts are opposed to each other so as to hold a flexible electric conductor therebetween. The first conductive part includes a locking hole or locking recess, and the second conductive part includes a locking projection of pointed shape. The locking projection is configured to pass through the electric conductor and be received in the locking hole or locking recess when the first and second conductive parts hold the electric conductor. The biasing device includes a clamp of generally C shape to hold the first and second conductive parts holding the electric conductor.

Abstract: The invention provides a connector including first and second beams, first and second conductive plates, and an urging device. The first and second beams extend substantially in parallel with each other and include first and second accommodating recesses, respectively. The first and second recesses are opposed to each other and open toward distal end sides of the first and second beams. The first and second conductive plates are to be accommodated in the first and second accommodating recesses, respectively, and removably insertable from the distal end sides into the first and second accommodating recesses, respectively. The urging device urges the first and second conductive plates in directions close to each other.

Abstract: In the foreign object insertion detector device, the light (infrared rays) is transmitted into the internal space 13 of a tube body 11 implanted into a weather strip 9 and formed of elastic material and, if there occurs the insertion of a foreign object, then the foreign object produces a pressing force and applies the pressing force to the tube body 11 to thereby deform the tube body 11. If the tube body 11 is deformed in this manner, then the quantity of the light transmitted through the internal space 13 is caused to decrease. By judging whether a decrease in the quantity of the light transmitted through the internal space 13 is present or absent, the insertion of the foreign object can be detected.

Abstract: In a multiplex communication system, as to all of the vehicles, the arbitrarily-mounted apparatuses can be connected to the transmission path, and also only the arbitrarily-mounted apparatus having the specific output circuit is separately and selectively can be connected to the transmission path, depending upon such a specific attribute condition when the individual vehicle is supplied, and this specific output circuit is suitable for this specific attribute condition. Accordingly, as the arbitrarily-mounted apparatus suitable for the respective attribute conditions, all of the output functions, all of the output functions which are not required for these attribute conditions can be excluded, and the useless output circuits can be omitted, resulting in a cost reduction. Thus, it is possible to realize the space-saving on-vehicle multiplex communication system.

Abstract: A system is provided to automatically terminate a fail-safe state. When an abnormality detection signal of Lo and a pulse having a frequency outside a specified range are input to set and reset terminals S, R of an R-S Flip-Flop (R-SFF) 24, respectively, a microcomputer 14 is determined to be in its abnormal state and an output of Hi is output from a Q output terminal of the R-SFF 24 to stop the operation of a motor 20. In this way, a so-called fail-safe state is established. When the abnormality detection signal of Hi and the pulse having a frequency within the specified range are input to the set and reset terminals S, R of the R-SFF 24, respectively, the microcomputer 14 is determined to have returned to its normal state and an output of Lo is output from the Q output terminal of the R-SFF 24 to resume the operation of the motor 20. Thus, the operation of the motor 20 can be controlled according to the operation of a power window switch 16.

Abstract: This invention prevents a power window from trapping a hand or the like during manual opening and closing of the window as well as during automatic opening and closing of the window. A current-flowing unit 56 flows a current in a closing direction in a power window motor 58 by turning on a sub-switch 57 for a passenger's seat window. While a catching detector 61 generates a detecting signal when an obstacle is present, a breaker 63 breaks a current flowing in a closing direction in the motor 58 through the unit 56 by turning off a master switch 39 for the passenger's seat. A reversing unit 65 rotates the motor 58 in a reverse direction by flowing a current in an opening direction in the motor 58. Even if an obstacle is present during an operation of closing the manual sub-switch 57, it is possible to release window, thereby freeing the obstacle.
