  • Publication number: 20090163050
    Abstract: An electrical connector (100) assembled to a printed circuit board (5) for connecting with a mating connector, includes a longitudinal insulative housing (1) and a plurality of contacts (2, 3) received in the housing. Each of the contacts (2, 3) defines a retaining section (20, 30), a contacting portion (21) extending forwards from the retaining section for contacting with the mating connector and a compressing portion (220, 320) extending rearwards from the retaining section for connecting to the printed circuit board. The compressing portions are arranged in two rows, and the compressing portions nip and elastic compress against the printed circuit board instead of being soldered thereto to connect the electrical connector to the printed circuit board steadily.

  • Patent number: 6909551
    Abstract: A laser level includes a pair of level units arranged side by side and disposed in different oriented directions. Each laser level includes a laser light source adapted to emit a laser beam, a beam splitter adapted to simultaneously split the beam into first and second light beams along perpendicular first and second directions, and a first and a second aspheric-cylindrical lenses respectively arranged in the first and the second directions. The first and the second aspheric-cylindrical lenses have two optical axes respectively extending along the first and second directions.

  • Patent number: 6880257
    Abstract: A signal sampling circuit of a tilt sensor, suitable to be used in a tilt sensor, is described. The signal sampling circuit has a signal-generating module, a sample and hold module, and a differential module. The signal-generating module regularly generates a plurality of level-measuring signals in equal intervals, and alternately and multi-directionally sends them to the first input pin and the second input pin of the tilt sensor in turn, respectively. Then, the tilt sensor outputs in order the corresponding first and second output signal. The sample and hold module samples and holds the first and the second output signal in turn, and outputs the first and the second sampling signals, respectively. The differential module receives and differentiates the first and the second sampling signals, and outputs a level-estimating-result signal to a micro controller unit to derive the tilt information of one direction.
