Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulating housing having a number of passageways and a number of dividing walls extending from a rear side of the passageways; and a number of contact modules received in the insulating housing and arranged along a first direction. Each contact module includes an insulator and a number of conductive contacts received in the insulator. Each insulator includes a first section and a second section. The dimension of the first section along the first direction is larger than the dimension of the second section. When the contact modules are assembled to the insulating housing, the second sections are received in corresponding dividing walls, respectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use or process of use of a sequencing batch reactor for eliminating prion in specified risk materials and for measuring the efficacy of a sequencing batch reactor to degrade prion proteins in specified risk materials.

Abstract: The use or process of use of a sequencing batch reactor for eliminating prion in specified risk materials and for measuring the efficacy of a sequencing batch reactor to degrade prior proteins in specified risk materials are disclosed. The specified risk material is fed to a sequencing batch reactor containing a layer of acclimatized anaerobic sludge, and the specified risk material reacts with the sludge at a temperature below 25° C. so as to allow degradation of the prion protein.

Abstract: A stylus retaining mechanism for portable electronic device includes a main body, a latching portion, and an elastic member. The main body defines an opening and a receiving chamber communicating with the opening. The latching portion is positioned at one side of the receiving chamber spaced from the opening. The elastic member is fixed in the receiving chamber adjacent to the opening. The stylus is received in the receiving chamber. The elastic member prevents the stylus from separating from the main body when the stylus is disengaged from the latching portion.

Abstract: A method of making a cast product, includes heating an alloy to a temperature between about 1210 and 1470° F. so that the alloy is in a liquid state, injecting the alloy into a vertical die casting machine cavity, injecting the alloy into a mold having a gated configuration, wherein the injecting further comprises a shot velocity between 3-8 inches per second and a pressure between 5,000 and 14,000 psi, cooling the alloy in the mold, and forming the cast product, wherein the cast product is selected from a group consisting of suspension components, knuckles, control arms, transmission input housings, bed plates, swash plates, air conditioning compressor pistons, engine valve bodies, engine bed plates, transmission valve bodies, master cylinders, brake calipers, ABS braking components, shock mounts, engine bedplates, engine valve bodies and pump housings.
