Abstract:
There is provided a connector that allows easy engagement even when visual judgment is not possible and that has superior durability as well. In a connector for connecting a first connecting cable connected to one end of a socket and a second connecting cable connected to one end of a plug, through engagement between the socket and the plug, the socket includes a cutout portion formed by cutting away at least one portion from one opening of a cylinder along the peripheral direction thereof, the cutout portion having a V-shape at its deepest portion, a first guiding portion projecting from at least one portion of the opening along the peripheral direction, the first guiding portion having a substantial V-shape at its leading end, and a retaining portion to be retained to a lateral face of the cylinder at the time of engagement with the plug, thus retaining this engagement. The plug includes a second guiding portion engageable into the cutout portion and having a substantial V-shape at its leading end and a pawl portion to be retained to the retaining portion at the time of the engagement with the socket.
Abstract:
An adapter of the present invention is used to connect between a lead terminal of an electronic component and a contact of a connecting device. The adapter includes a first connecting part, adapted for electrical and mechanical connection to the lead terminal; a second connecting part, disposed at a spaced relation to the first connecting part in a length direction of the electronic component and connectable to the contact electrically and mechanically; and an elastically deforming part, provided between the first and second connecting parts and elastically deformable in accordance with thermal expansion deformation or thermal contraction deformation in the length direction of the electronic component.
Abstract:
The present invention has an object to provide an optical device capable of leading out a light propagated through an optical waveguide to a desired substrate side face while maintaining the sufficient power of the light, within a range of limited substrate size. To this end, according to the optical device of the present invention, a groove is formed in the vicinity of an end portion on the optical output side of the optical waveguide, on the substrate on which the optical waveguide is formed, a side wall of the groove is used as a reflecting plane, the light output from the optical waveguide is reflected by the reflecting plane, and the reflected light is emitted from the desired substrate side face.
Abstract:
An aspect of the embodiment, a MEMS device includes a rotating unit, a first hinge, a first frame and an actuator. The actuator has a plurality of electrodes for rotating the rotating unit. The first frame has one of the electrodes. A portion of silicon layer by the electrode of the frame is chamfered.
Abstract:
In the present invention, for example with regards to a Mach-Zehnder type LN modulator which uses a Z-cut LN substrate, by providing a step by forming an etching part on the surface of the LN substrate, and forming an optical waveguide so as to position a pair of branching waveguides of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer in the step portion, a height difference is produced between the branching waveguides, in the perpendicular direction to the substrate surface. As a result, lines of electric force directed from a signal electrode provided above one branching waveguide towards a ground electrode provided above an other branching waveguide are hardly dispersed, and a desired electro-optic effect can be obtained at a lower drive voltage.
