Abstract:
An I/O expansion system comprises a female connector (10; 100) for operative connection to a baseboard, and an add-in card (40) having a male connector (44) on a first edge for receipt by the female connector (10; 100) and a notch (48) for receipt of a retention formation (28; 108) of the connector (10; 100). It further includes a carriage part (20; 102) movable along the length of the female connector (10; 100) and providing support for the retention formation (28; 108).
Abstract:
A system for making interconnections between an input/output module (66) and a first device (70) and a second device (70) wherein the system uses standard cables (68) and connectors (74). The input/output module (66) includes a standard first connector (74) for making connection with a standard first transmission line cable (68) for conveying signals between the module (66) and the first device (70), and at least one second connector (74), with such second connector (74) connecting to a first end of a second standard cable (68). A second end of the second standard cable (68) includes a standard cable connector (74) for making connection to a corresponding connector of the second device (70). The input/output module (66) is configured to contain programmable logic for making the required connections between the module (66) and the first and second devices (70).
Abstract:
A substrate has an electrical wiring pattern formed thereon, one or a plurality of electrical parts provided thereon, a first contacting part and a second contacting part provided thereon and electrically connected to the electronic parts, and one or a plurality of electrical connecting bodies. The electrical connecting bodies are different from the electrical wiring pattern, and electrically connect the first contacting part and the second contacting part.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for a coupling assembly (400). In one exemplary embodiment, an assembly (400) can comprise a signal carrying component (406) capable of being coupled with a corresponding receptacle (404). The assembly (400) can further comprise a steerable component (410) that has at least a portion of which is secured with the signal carrying component (406). A non-secured portion (414) of the steerable component (410) can be manipulated by a user from a first disposition generally adjacent a portion of the signal carrying component (406) to a second non-adjacent disposition for steering the assembly (400) into the receptacle (404).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a computer comprising several modular elements (A, B, C, D), delimited each by an individual protective housing, and containing each components or a peripheral of the computer. Each modular element (B) comprises connection means and mechanical means for being attached to another modular element (A, C). Thus the modular elements are interconnected, by being successively secured to one another. Said modular elements thus form a monobloc assembly, once they are connected.
Abstract:
Adapter zum Anschluß eines Büro-Netzwerksteckverbinders an einen Industrie-Steckverbinder, mit einem Gehäuse (18, 20), das mit einem Montageflansch (22) versehen ist, der an beispielsweise einer Schaltschrankwand (26) verschraubt werden kann, einem Büro-Netzwerksteckverbinderteil (10) und einem Industrie-Steckverbinderteil (14), deren Kontakte miteinander verbunden sind.
Abstract:
A notebook computer comprising a base body with an upper (2) and a lower (1) shell, a display unit arranged in a swivel cover housing and a detachable keyboard fixed to the upper shell (2), characterized by a recess (5) provided in the upper shell (2) and by a contact arrangement (4) secured to an assembly (6) located inside the base body, engulfed therein and oriented outwards so that it can be connected to the keyboard which is fitted with a corresponding counter contact arrangement.
Abstract:
A connector interface is provided with a body portion (65) extending between two mating ends (63, 64) and is suitable for providing an interface between a cable and an electronic device. The connector includes a printed circuit board (70) as its terminal and the circuit board extends through the body portion (65) and has first and second mating edges (71, 72) that extend past the body portion of the housing at the mating ends. These mating edges permit the use of edge card technology to simplify the connector assembly and cost. One of the mating edges is enclosed by an extension portion (110) of the connector housing such that the extension defines a receptacle (119) that accommodates an opposing connector, such as a plug end of a cable assembly.
Abstract:
An adapter to connect either Type I or Type II cards into a PCMCLA compliant PC Card interface on a personal computer. A protective shutter mechanism receives both Type I and Type II cards.
Abstract:
A receptacle type connector fixed to a side plate of an image forming device body includes a primary inserting and drawing recess which is open upward. A contact holding wall of an opponent plug type connector is inserted into and drawn out from the primary inserting and drawing recess. Even when toner intrudes into the primary inserting and drawing recess which is open, the toner can be discharged from the connector via the through-hole, which is formed in a lower portion of the primary inserting and drawing recess, by lightly tapping the receptacle type connector.
