  • Publication number: 20240128683
    Abstract: The CPA-attached connector 1a includes a connector body 11 and a CPA member 12. The connector body 11 includes a temporary latch portion 112 for the CPA member 12, a full latch portion 113 which, before the mating with a mating connector, restricts full latch of the CPA member, and which, during the mating, cancels restriction of the full latch by the mating connector, and a hood portion 114 configured to cover, in a manner of a canopy, a portion of the CPA member 12 in the full latch state. The CPA member 12 includes a CPA body 121 and a finger rest portion 122 provided on the CPA body 121, a portion of the finger rest portion 122 being exposed from the hood portion 114 even in the full latch state, an inclined surface 122a being formed in the exposed portion to incline toward a central axis of the connector body 11 in accordance with a distance from the hood portion 114.

  • Patent number: 9445192
    Abstract: A reference signal generating unit of an active-noise-reduction device of the present invention outputs a referencing signal having a correlation with a vibration to an adaptive filter unit. A filter coefficient update unit receives an input of an error signal, and successively updates a filter coefficient of the adaptive filter unit. The error signal is generated by a cancelling sound based on the output of the adaptive filter unit and noise. The detection unit detects a filter coefficient of the filter coefficient update unit, and determines a size of the output of the adaptive filter unit. Then, the amplitude of the cancelling sound is adjusted based on the size of the output of the adaptive filter unit estimated by the detection unit.
