Abstract: A wet-dry vacuum cleaner device comprising: a housing; a motor-fan assembly mounted in the housing and arranged to generate an air flow between a dirty air inlet and a clean air outlet; a tank arranged to capture liquid entrained in the dirty air flow, the tank comprising a tank inlet in fluid communication with the dirty air inlet and a tank outlet in fluid communication with the motor fan assembly; wherein the tank outlet is in fluid communication with a liquid trap mounted inside the tank arranged to capture liquid entrained in the air flow exiting the tank.

Abstract: Present application discloses a thermoplastic composition comprising a) 42.5 wt. % to 94 wt. % of thermoplastic matrix resin; b) 1 wt. % to 7.5 wt. % of a laser direct structuring additive; and c) 5 wt. % to 50 wt. % fibrous reinforcement agent; wherein the wt. % is relative to the total weight of the composition; wherein the laser direct structuring additive is represented by formula ZnxNi(1-x)Fe2O4, wherein the x is higher than 0.60 and lower than 0.85; wherein the composition is capable of being plated after being activated using a laser.

Abstract: An electrical connector mounted to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) includes an insulating housing having a mating face, a mounting face and a rear wall positioned between the mating face and the mounting face. The housing defines a number of contact-receiving passageways and a number of heat dissipating slots communicating with the contact-receiving passageways. a number of conductive contacts are respectively received in the passageways. Each contact includes a contacting portion, a termination portion and an intermediate portion. The insulating housing has a heat dissipating section defined between the mounting face and the rear wall. The heat dissipating section communicates with the heat dissipating slots to thereby defining a heat dissipating path therebetween.

Abstract: A cable connector includes an insulative housing, at least one group of circuit boards retained on the insulative housing, cables connecting with the circuit boards electrically, and insulator fixing the insulative housing, the circuit boards and the cables together. The insulative housing has a first receiving space and a second receiving space. The first receiving space spaces apart from the second receiving space along a front to back direction. Each circuit board has a front part received in the first receiving space and a rear part received in the second receiving space. The front part is formed with electrical contacts. The cables connect with the rear parts. The insulator is insert-molded in the second receiving space and encloses the rear parts.

Abstract: A method for rapidly identifying porcine estrogen receptor (ESR) marker comprises using published primers to amplify the target DNA fragment by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The DNA fragment is cloned and then sequenced. The key positions of the sequence are modified to generate three primers which are used to amplify different DNA fragments with different genotypes by PCR to eliminate extra restriction cut reaction. A long one of the primers is to specifically amplify non-prolific allele, a short one of the primers is to specifically amplify prolific allele, and the remaining one is mutual and complimentary to the sequence. After PCR and electrophoresis, the sample with 90 bp band is identified as prolific genotype, the sample with 110 bp band is identified as non-prolific genotype, and the sample with 90 bp and 110 bp bands is identified as hetero-genotype.
