Abstract: A connector includes a housing and a plurality of contacts coupled with each other through at least one coupling portion, each of the plurality of contacts includes a contact portion having a spring property for making contact with an object to be connected, and a connection portion for connecting a cable without a spring property, the plurality of contacts includes signal contacts and power supply contacts, the contact portion in each of the signal contacts and the power supply contacts has a width equal to each other, and the coupling portion couples all or some of the plurality of power supply contacts at points other than the contact portions in the power supply contacts. A current capacity adjustment method for the connector includes a step of changing the number of the coupling portions that couples the power supply contacts while keeping the shapes of the contact portions.

Abstract: A connector comprises a housing, a terminal and a shell. The terminal has a held portion held by the housing, a first portion extending rearward from the held portion and a second portion extending forward from the held portion. The first portion has a connectable portion configured to be connected to a first object. The second portion has a resiliently deformable support portion and a contact portion supported by the support portion. The contact portion is pressed against a second object when the connector is fixed on the second object. The shell has a first upper plate and a second upper plate which is located below the first upper plate. The first upper plate covers the first portion of the terminal from above. The second upper plate covers the second portion of the terminal from above.

Abstract: A compression connector is fixed to a substrate with a small motion. In a connector with substrate, a compression connector pressed against and connected to a connection target object and a substrate are attached. The connector with substrate includes a substrate including a hole; and a compression connector disposed on the substrate and including contacts that are in contact with the substrate, a housing to which the contacts are fixed, and a cover shell that has a top surface disposed in parallel to the substrate and a vertical surface vertically extending to the substrate from the top surface, and that covers an upper surface portion of the housing. The vertical surface includes at least one fixing part at a substrate side, piercing through the hole formed in the substrate, and functioning as slip-off prevention for the compression corrector with respect to the substrate.

Abstract: Ina connector with substrate, a compression connector pressed against and connected to a connection target object and a substrate are attached via a cage. The connector with substrate includes a substrate; a cage fixed to the substrate; and a compression connector inserted into the cage and including contacts that are in contact with the substrate, a housing to which the contacts are fixed, and a cover shell that covers an upper surface portion of the housing. One of the cage and the compression connector includes a lock hole and another of the cage and the compression connector includes a lock piece that enters the lock hole to fix a position of the compression connector with respect to the cage, or the cage or the compression connector includes the lock hole and the lock piece.

Abstract: In a connector with substrate, a compression connector pressed against and connected to a connection target object and a substrate are attached. The connector with substrate includes a substrate; a compression connector disposed on the substrate and including contacts that are in contact with the substrate, a housing to which the contacts are fixed, and a cover shell that covers an upper surface portion of the housing; a provisional holding mechanism that provisionally holds the compression connector on the substrate; and a regular connection mechanism that, after the compression connector is provisionally held on the substrate by the provisional holding mechanism, regularly connects the compression connector to the substrate.

Abstract: A connector cable includes a plurality of contacts placed in a row and a plurality of cables connected to the plurality of contacts. The plurality of cables includes at least three pairs of high-speed differential signal lines for transmitting high-speed differential signals, at least one non-high-speed differential signal line for transmitting a non-high-speed differential signal, and a plurality of ground terminals. The plurality of ground terminals is allocated to contacts on both ends among the plurality of contacts and a contact between two pairs of high-speed differential signal lines or between one pair of high-speed differential signal lines and one non-high-speed differential signal line to limit the number of consecutive pairs of high-speed differential signal lines to two.

Abstract: A low-viscosity water-in-oil cosmetic emulsion preparation gives a smooth use feeling, lightly spreads when applied, and has excellent dispersed-powder stability. The cosmetic emulsion preparation has (A) a polar oil which is liquid at 25° C. and has an IOB value exceeding 0.1, (B) a hydrocarbon oil, (C) a polyoxyalkylene; and alkyl-modified organopolysiloxane represented by general formula (I), and (D) a powder surface-treated with both an N-acylamino acid and methylpolysiloxane. (In formula (I), R represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-5 alkyl group, x is an integer of 5-50, y is an integer of 1-30, z is an integer of 20-200, a is an integer of 2-20, b is an integer of 1-5, c is an integer of 2-20, and d is an integer of 0-20).

Abstract: Disclosed herein include methods of reducing the viscosity of a starch slurry during starch processing by the addition of one or more surfactants and one or more amylases. In some embodiments, the unexpected reduction in slurry viscosity results in a surprising increase in corn oil recovery, reduction in residual starch, and increased fermentation rate.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water-in-oil emulsified solid cosmetic having a relatively high internal-aqueous-phase proportion (about 40% or higher), the cosmetic being a makeup which has an excellent concealing effect and gives a natural finish and which is stable and has satisfactory applicability. The present invention relates to a solid cosmetic in water-in-oil emulsified type characterized by comprising (A) at least one fatty acid glyceryl ester selected from the group consisting of glyceryl isostearate, poly(2-glyceryl) diisostearate, and glyceryl oleate, (B) an aqueous component, (C) an oily component, and (D) a powdery component, the oily component (C) comprising a solid oil (C1) and an oil-soluble film former (C2) and the powdery component (D) comprising titanium dioxide (D1) having a primary-particle diameter of 0.05-0.5 ?m in an amount of 10 mass % or more relative to the whole cosmetic preparation and further containing a pearl pigment (D2).

Abstract: A connector includes a plurality of contacts, a holding member and a shell. The holding member has a main portion and a tongue portion. The main portion includes three or more positioned portions. The shell is formed with a hole and three or more positioning protrusions. The hole has a closed periphery on a surface of the shell. The hole pierces the shell in a first direction perpendicular to a mating direction. The positioning protrusions occupy zones, respectively, in the mating direction. The zones overlap with each other in the mating direction. The positioning protrusions include a first positioning protrusion and two second positioning protrusions. The first positioning protrusion forms a part of the closed periphery of the hole. The first positioning protrusion faces the hole. When the shell is viewed alone, at least one of the second positioning protrusions is visible through the hole.
