Abstract: An electrical connector including an insulator body, a shield, and an upper and lower rows of terminals held in the insulator body. One of the two rows of terminals is a row of low speed circuit terminals, and the other one is a row of high speed circuit terminals. The row of high speed circuit terminals includes two pairs of high speed differential signal terminals, and each of the high speed differential signal terminals has a contact portion, an insertion portion and a connection portion between the contact portion and the insertion portion. A part of the connection portion of the high speed differential signal terminal is folded away from the low speed circuit terminal to form a folding section. It increases the space between the high speed differential signal terminal and the low speed circuit terminal and effectively reduces the capacitive coupling crosstalk therebetween.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of polycationic compound in combination with a hydroxycarboxylic acid or salt thereof to enhance slump retention in cements and concretes having clay-bearing aggregates, wherein the clay otherwise absorbs or diminishes the dosage efficiency of polycarboxylate superplasticizers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a low dispersion slope dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber for large capacity transmission comprising a core and a cladding. Said fiber is characterized in that said core has three to five core segments having different refractive index profiles, and said cladding has four to six cladding segments. The total dispersion slope of said fiber at 1550 nm is less than 0.060 ps/nm2·km, the zero dispersion wavelength is less than 1420 nm, the effective area ranges from 55 ?m2 to 65 ?m2, and the dispersion in the region of 1530 nm˜1565 nm ranges from 5.0 ps/nm2·km to 12.0 ps/nm2·km. The fiber has low dispersion slope, moderate dispersion, low attenuation, and excellent bend resistance performance. It is suitable for a high-speed (10 Gbits/s and 40 Gbits/s), large capacity, and long distance DWDM system.

Abstract: The present invention directs to a method of manufacturing low water peak single mode optical fiber, which comprises performing deposition in a substrate tube using PCVD technology, whereby a deposited layer of a certain construction design is formed on the inner wall of the substrate tube, melt contracting the substrate tube into a solid core rod according to melt contraction technology, producing an optical fiber preform by combining the core rod and a jacket tube of low hydroxyl content by means of RIT technology or by depositing an outer cladding on the outer surface of the core rod using OVD technology, sending the optical fiber preform into a fiber drawing furnace to draw it into an optical fiber, wherein: in the PCVD technology, the content of impurities in a gas mixture of raw materials, which is characterized by the infrared spectrum transmissivity thereof, is required to a transmissivity of 90% or greater, the water content in O2 is 100 ppb or less, the water content in C2F6 is 1000 ppb or less, the

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing low PMD single-mode fiber and a fiber manufactured by said method. The twisting system is mounted at the downstream side of a normal fiber-drawing tower. The manner of twisting does not change the fiber-drawing path, the axis of twisting wheels periodically swing in a plane which is parallel to the fiber-drawing direction. The fiber moving at high speed makes the outer surfaces of the twisting wheels to rotate round the axis of the fiber, when an angle between the plane in which the twisting wheels are located and the fiber-drawing direction exists, the component of the angular velocity in the radial direction of the fiber reacts on the fiber and makes the fiber to twist, and the twist propagates to the soften region of the glass material at the fiber-drawing upstream in the form of mechanical wave, a plastic deformation is produced and set up in the newly drawn fiber.
