Abstract: A connector 10 includes a housing 12 provided with an opening 24, a cable 14 extending rearward from the opening 24, locking lances 44 resiliently displaceable toward the cable 14, and a retainer 16 to be mounted on the housing 12. The housing 12 includes cantilevered pressing portions 36 and the pressing portions 36 resiliently bring the locking lances 44 into contact with the cable 14 by pressing the locking lances 44 in directions toward the cable 14. The retainer 16 includes a base end wall 40 in which a first insertion hole 48 into which the cable 14 is inserted and second insertion holes 50 into which the pressing portions 33 are inserted are open, and water-wetting suppression walls 62 located behind the second insertion holes 50. The water-wetting suppression walls 62 have ranges overlapping insides of openings of the second insertion holes 50 when viewed from behind.

Abstract: A connector (10) includes a housing (20) and a separate connection detecting member (60). The connection detecting member (60) has a flexible and cantilevered locking lance (66). The housing (20) has a locking portion (38) with an opening and capable of locking the connection detecting member (60) by a projection (70) of the locking lance (66) coming into contact with an inner wall of the locking portion (38). The connection detecting member (60) is relatively displaceable between a connection assurance position and a connection assurance release position. When the connection detecting member (60) is displaced from the connection assurance release position to the connection assurance position, the projection (70) of the locking lance (66) slides against the inner wall of the locking portion (38) and the locking lance (66) is displaced resiliently to release the locking of the connection detecting member (60).

Abstract: A connector (10) includes a housing (20) and a connection detecting member (60) that is displaceable between a connection assurance position and a connection assurance release position. The connection detecting member (60) is mountable on the housing (20) and pushed from a pre-assembling position to the connection assurance release position. First arms (74) are on sides of the connection detecting member (60). Two first guide grooves (44) and two second guide grooves (48) are in the side walls (42) of the housing (20) and extend along a sliding direction of the connection detecting member. First claws (76) of the first arms (74) are in the first guide grooves (44) at the connection assurance position and the connection assurance release position, and are in the second guide grooves (48) at the pre-assembling position. The first arms (74) deflect by pushing the connection detecting member (60) to the connection assurance release position.

Abstract: A connector (10) includes a housing (20) to be connected to a mating housing (90), and a separate connection detecting member (60) to be mounted slidably on the housing (20) for connection assurance of the housing (20) and the mating housing (90). The connection detecting member (60) includes a detecting member-side contact surface (72) to be brought into contact with the housing (20) and resiliently displaceable second arms (78). The housing (20) includes a housing-side contact surface (30) to be brought into contact with the detecting member-side contact surface (72) and arm contacts (50) to be brought into contact with the arms (78). The arms (78) are in contact with the arm contacts (50) in a direction opposite to a direction from the detecting member-side contact surface (72) toward the housing-side contact surface (30).

Abstract: A connector includes a housing. A retainer is mounted on the housing from an opening and includes a locking lance facing a cable and resiliently displaceable in one direction toward the cable. The locking lance resiliently contacts and holds the cable. The locking lance includes a curved portion curved in conformity with an outer surface of the cable and two projections projecting in a direction opposite to the one direction from ends of the curved portion. The housing includes a pressing portion to bring the curved portion into surface contact with the outer surface of the cable by pressing the projections in the one direction. A slit is between the projections of the curved portion and extends in an extending direction of the cable.

Abstract: A system and method that identifies and effectuates communication between a connectable client and a wireless human interface device. The wireless human interface device utilizes technologies to abstract the complexities of IP based wired and wireless networks to provide mechanisms to easily discover, associate, utilize and diagnose the wireless human interface device. Through the ensuing abstraction the wireless human interface device can be associated with an unlimited number of connectable networked clients or hosts thus eliminating the requirement of analog switch boxes to connect human interface devices to each connectable host or client, and further providing for the control of local and/or Internet based hosts or clients.

Abstract: A method and system for writing a data image in the main memory of a computer to a secondary storage device minimizes delay in performing a required reboot. Prior to the reboot, a portion of the physical memory is copied either to a reserved memory space or to secondary storage, or one portion of memory may be copied to a reserved memory space and another portion may be copied to secondary storage. After reboot, memory usage is initially limited to the portion of memory that was copied prior to the reboot. The remaining physical memory is incrementally written to the storage device and dynamically added as memory for use by the operating system. If the reboot is due to a crash or other problem, completion of a full memory dump may be cancelled if, upon scanning memory, it is determined that the problem is a known issue.
