Abstract: A connector for FPC board includes an insulating housing and a cover plate. The insulating housing has a receiving space for receiving an FPC board, a plurality of passageways, and two guiding channels. A plurality of terminals is received in the corresponding passageways. Each terminal has a contact portion and a pressing portion. The cover plate has two rotational shafts put into the corresponding guiding channels, whereby the two rotational shafts are rotatable in and slidable along the guiding channels. When the cover plate is rotated to a horizontal position, the rear end of the cover plate lies to the front of the pressing portions of the terminals. Then, when the rotational shafts together with the cover plate are horizontally slid from front to rear, the cover plate is inserted between the pressing portions and the FPC board, and the pressing portions press the cover plate against the FPC board, and the cover plate presses the FPC board against the contact portions of the terminals.

Abstract: An insulation displacement connection (IDC) connector assembly includes an IDC connector and external cables. The cables are inserted in the IDC connector through passageways disposed in a surface of the IDC-connector to be terminated to the IDC connector. A positioning recess is defined in the top surface of the IDC connector corresponding to each cable and each communicates with the corresponding passageway and is exposed to surfaces adjacent to the surface mentioned above.

Abstract: A dustproof receptacle connector includes a dielectric housing, a plurality of female contacts disposed in the housing, and a slider unit installed in the housing. The housing has a receiving cavity with a front opening defined in a front surface thereof, and a pair of mounting holes defined in a rear wall of the housing communicating with the receiving cavity. The slider unit includes a dustproof cover slidably received in the receiving cavity for sealing the front opening and a pair of springs disposed on the dustproof cover. A pair of longitudinal pillars extending backwards from the dustproof cover, with the free end of each pillar slidably disposed in the corresponding mounting hole of the housing. Each spring is retained on the corresponding longitudinal pillar, with one end thereof abutting against the dustproof cover and the other end thereof abutting against the rear wall of the housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition useful for the treatment of diseases associated with viruses of the order Nidovirales of the family Coronaviradae, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) viruses in humans and other animals. In particular, this invention relates to a naturally occurring compound, namely, baicalin, extracted and purified from the Chinese medicinal plant Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Chinese name: Huang Qin), that exhibits potent antiviral activity against members of the order Nidovirales of the family Coronaviradae that infects humans and other animals; in particular, SARS viruses in humans (“hSARS virus”). The invention also relates to a therapeutic method, using pharmaceutical compositions comprising baicalin compounds, for the treatment, amelioration, management or prevention of diseases associated with members of the order Nidovirales of the family Coronaviradae, such as hSARS.
