Abstract:
The invention provides a naturally occurring strain of Lactobacillus crispatus with advantageous characteristics. The strain colonizes mucosal surfaces, particularly vaginal surfaces. The strain is also capable of rapid growth in a number of conditions and is highly viable after desiccation. Moreover, the strain is capable of preventing and reducing pathogenic infection of vaginal mucosa.
Abstract:
the present invention relates to a pressure measuring apparatus having a major technique signature of using only one resistor, wherein while measuring an external stress using the apparatus, an oscillating signal is received at an end of the resistor which is affected by the external stress, and consequently the affected resistor will have effect on the oscillating signal which is outputted from the other end of the resistor thereafter. Hence, the present invention provides a pressure measuring apparatus and a pressure sensor thereof using the frequency difference of the oscillating signal in accordance to the variation of the resistor value as base for measuring the external stress. Hence, the present invention requires no amplifier and A/D converter so that the whole manufacturing process is simplified and also the overall cost of the pressure measuring apparatus is reduced.
Abstract:
An upper cover plate for an air-tight chamber and a tool for removing the upper cover plate from the chamber are introduced. The upper cover plate integrates a chamber body to form the air-tight chamber, in which the chamber body further includes a top surface for air-tightly matching with a bottom surface of the upper cover plate. The upper cover plate further includes a plurality of thread holes engageable respectively with a plurality of the tools. The present invention is characterized on that at least one of the thread holes is formed as a through thread hole connecting to the bottom surface, and that the respective tool for engaging with the through thread hole includes a portion for penetrating the through thread hole and going beyond the bottom surface. By providing the present invention, the top surface of the chamber body can be utilized as a pivotal plane for the tool to easily perform a helical lifting application upon the upper cover plate through the engaged threads, so that the air-tight state of the chamber can be easily removed.
Abstract:
A cable connector for connecting a plurality of coaxial cables to a printed circuit board comprises an insulative housing mounted on a printed circuit board, a plurality of signal terminals, a grounding terminal and a snap cover secured on the housing. The housing defines a plurality of first receiving portions for receiving the coaxial cables. Each signal terminal comprises a solder portion soldered on the printed circuit board and a contact portion extending into the corresponding first receiving portion of the housing. The grounding terminal received in the housing comprises a plurality of solder sections soldered to the printed circuit board and a plurality of tabs extending into the first receiving portions for connecting with metal braids of the coaxial cables, establishing grounding connections. The snap cover defines a plurality of second receiving portions corresponding to the first receiving portions of the housing. The coaxial cables are clamped between the first receiving portions and the second receiving portions thereby pressing conductors of the coaxial cables to contact the contact portion of corresponding signal terminals and preventing displacement of the coaxial cables from the cable connector.
Abstract:
A socket comprises an insulating housing receiving a plurality of contacts, and a pick-up cap engaging with the insulating housing. The pick-up cap has a planar main body covering the insulating housing. The main body is formed with two pivots on a side thereof. The insulating housing is formed with a plurality of sidewalls, one of the sidewall is provided with a pair of mounting seats on an outside thereof, each mounting seat defines a mounting hole with a gap, and the pivots of the pick-up cap enter into the mounting holes via the gaps to pivotally assemble the pick-up cap to the mounting seats.

Abstract:
An enhanced memory module assembly comprises a memory module including a substrate with a plurality of conductive traces arranged in an edge thereof. A connector includes a first housing having a memory module receiving slot extending along a longitudinal direction thereof. The housing further defines a plurality of terminal cells with a plurality of first terminals assembled therein. Each terminal includes a first end extending into the elongate slot for electrically contacting with the conductive traces. A ZIF device is arranged between the memory module and includes a pair of actuator receiving slots located in the housing and in communicating with the terminal cells, and an actuator attached to the memory module. The actuator includes a pair of actuating plates extending into the actuator receiving slots thereby pushing the terminals in electrical contact with the conductive traces when the memory module is completely inserted therein.
Abstract:
An electrical system comprises a panel defining at least an opening and a retaining hole therein. A first connector is adapted to be attached to the panel. A panel-mount attachment is engageable with the retaining hole for attaching the electrical connector to the panel. The panel-mount attachment includes a base plate in which a housing of the connector is integrally formed therewith, and a supporting post extending from the base plate. At least a deflectable vane sector extends outward and downward from an top portion of the post toward the base plate and a gap defined between a free end of the vane sector and the base plate for receiving the panel therebetween. The attachment further includes a guiding device formed in the supporting post.
Abstract:
A computer keyboard power saving method includes sensing if there is keystroke action taking place. When time period of no keystroke action exceeds a pre-set threshold, power supply to the keyboard will be shut down automatically. When a keystroke action is detected, power supply to the keyboard will be resumed instantly. Thus can save energy when keyboard is idle from time to time.
