  • Patent number: 7140785
    Abstract: An optical connector assembly has a plug connector having a first optical element for performing emission or receipt of light and a first lens. It also has a receptacle connector having a second optical element for performing receipt or emission of light and a second lens. The plug connector includes a convex portion having sectional configuration of round arch and the first lens, and a plug portion formed on a forward end of the convex portion. The plug portion is perpendicular to first optical axis of the first optical element and the first lens. The receptacle connector includes a concave portion into which the convex portion is inserted and a receptacle portion in a bottom of the concave portion. The receptacle portion is perpendicular to second optical axis of the second optical element and the second lens. The plug or receptacle connector has supporting mechanism that supports the connector movably.

  • Publication number: 20010052114
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus which downloads a corrective program into its RAM during initial program loading, performs by its CPU interrupt processing in response to an interrupt request signal output from a debugging circuit when a program address coincides with a predetermined bug address, executes the debugged program, then reads program codes from the memory address next to the buggy part of a program to continue the processing after the interrupt processing. By executing the debugged program stored in the RAM as an interrupt processing routine instead of executing the buggy part of the program stored in the ROM, the buggy program is replaced by the bug-free corrected program and therefore the bug can be avoided.
