  • Patent number: 9190767
    Abstract: An object is to provide an electrical connection structure between a module device and outside having high reliability of electrical connection and excellent assembling performance. There is provided the electrical connection structure of a module device, wherein a housing accommodating the module device has a mounting hole for mounting a cable connector electrically connected with an external device, a contact of the module device side is disposed inside a housing positioned in the mounting hole, the structure includes a terminal pressed and connected to the contact of the module device side, and a connector housing that accommodates and holds the terminal, the terminal is held in the connector housing so as to have airtight and watertight properties from a connection portion between the terminal and a core wire of a cable to a covering portion of the cable, and the cable connector and the housing are connected so as to have the watertight property.

  • Publication number: 20060162464
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive sensor (a pressure sensor) for measuring the pressure applied to a pressure-receiving part by assuming the pressure as an amount of deformation of the pressure-receiving part and converting the amount of deformation into an electrical signal and a monitor for monitoring the action and the state and change of the emotional motion of a person through the pressure-sensitive sensor, for example, a pet robot that senses the petting action of the owner and performs a predetermined reaction and action are disclosed. The sensor comprises at least two parallel electrode sheets disposed in a spaced relationship from each other and an expandable dielectric member interposed between the adjacent two electrode sheets. When a pressure is exerted on the outermost electrode sheet, the dielectric member deforms and its capacitance varies.
