  • Patent number: 8870585
    Abstract: The connector of the Present Disclosure for a flexible circuit cable comprises a housing on the front whereof is formed an insertion slot for a flexible circuit cable, and on the front and rear whereof is formed a terminal insertion hole; a plurality of contact terminals inserted into the front and rear of the housing via the terminal insertion holes; an actuator that pivots around a pivot axis and, when in closed position, creates electrical contact between the contact terminal and the conductor part of the flexible circuit cable by pressing the inserted flexible circuit cable down and into the housing; and a molded dust cover that pivots with the actuator and is installed on the housing to enable rotation and thus prevent the introduction of dust; and has a structure wherein on either end part of the molded dust cover is formed a rotation axis groove, and rotation axis projections are formed on either side of the housing to enable coupling with the rotation axis grooves.

  • Patent number: 7131579
    Abstract: An automatic journalizing method and system enable even a novice in accounting to conduct automatic journalizing of transaction data by employing a reverse-journalizing technique. Further, the automatic journalizing method and system are capable of conducting exact journalizing by using preset binary transaction classification criteria. Further, by integrating multi-aspects of transaction classification including fundamental characteristics of transaction, original characteristics of journalizing and simplicity/complicacy characteristics of transaction, the automatic journalizing method and system allow even the novice to correctly perform automatic journalizing for both a simple and a complex transaction.
