Abstract:
A connector (10) includes: an insulation body (100); and at least one contact (200) provided in the insulation body. The connector is adapted to be mated with another connector, which is exactly the same as the connector, and when two connectors comprising the connector and the another connector are mated with each other, the contacts of the two connectors are adapted to electrically contact with each other. When electrically connecting two electric devices, it does not need to produce a male connector and a female connector different from the male connector.
Abstract:

The clasp connector includes one or more die alignment features to ensure proper alignment with the die set so as to apply an unlocking force in a predetermined direction. Die sets and methods also provided to move a separable clasp connector back-and-forth among a locked position and an unlocked position.
Abstract:
A payment card comprises a supporting body with a controller provided with an inner memory in which identification data of a user and the issuing institution are stored. In addition the card provides a connection interface combined with the controller for the connection with an outside device. The connection interface is a connection port incorporating a male portion and a female portion arranged, one with respect to the other, according to a specific layout rendering such a port a "hermaphrodite" port, that is able to couple with a port having an identical geometry. The connection port further comprises a plurality of electric contact elements combined with the male portion and/ or the female portion. A method referring to virtual transfer of money between two payment cards is further described.
Abstract:
A hermaphroditic electrical connector comprising of a pair of identical sub-assemblies, each sub-assembly having a housing and a plurality of electrical contacts. The two sub-assemblies are arranged in upside down and opposite direction with a plurality of electrical contacts of one sub-assembly joined to a plurality of electrical contacts of another opposed sub-assembly. The first housing and second and opposed housing have a two way locking/release device at two opposite sides. The first housing and second and opposed housing can be separated from each other by a single handed operation on the first two way locking/release device of the first housing and on the second two way locking/release device of the second and opposed housing. The first housing and second housing can be separated from either end using two way locking/release device at either end of the hermaphroditic electrical connector
Abstract:
A joint connector includes a housing that includes terminal chambers. At least two neighboring joint terminals are housed in terminal chambers neighboring among the terminal chambers, respectively. Each of the neighboring joint terminals includes a wire-crimping portion, a terminal body housed in a terminal chamber among the plurality of terminal chambers, and a pair of first and second contact portions, respectively. The first contact portion of one of the neighboring joint terminals is electrically contacted with the second contact portion of another of the neighboring joint terminals. The connector housing is provided with pairs of elastically deformable tabs, each of the pairs including two opposed deformable tabs and provided in each of the plurality of the terminal chambers. The opposed deformable tabs contact with sidewalls of the terminal body of the each of the neighboring joint terminals, respectively, by an elastic restoration behavior of the opposed deformable tabs.

Each of the neighboring joint terminals includes a wire-crimping portion, a terminal body housed in a terminal chamber among the plurality of terminal chambers, and a pair of first and second contact portions, respectively. The first contact portion of one of the neighboring joint terminals is electrically contacted with the second contact portion of another of the neighboring joint terminals. A pair of spring tabs is formed on both sidewalls of the terminal body and contacts with opposed inner surfaces of the terminal chamber, respectively, by an elastic restoration behavior. According to the joint connector, an increase of a contact resistance to be generated by vibrations and temperature variations can be sufficiently restricted.

Contact électrique (1, 1a) pourvu d'un axe longitudinal (x) selon lequel sont réalisés un premier corps central (3, 3a) et au moins une première lame (5, 5a), caractérisé par le fait que ce contact électrique est destiné à être accouplé à un contact électrique complémentaire comportant lui même un second corps central et au moins une seconde lame (5b), s'étendant généralement dans la direction longitudinale du second contact, de manière à ce que lorsque le contact et le contact complémentaire sont accouplés la première lame soit en contact électrique avec le second corps central et la seconde lame soit en contact électrique avec le premier corps central.
Abstract:
A method of forming a transistor with recessed source/drains in an silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer (101) includes forming isolation structures (110) in an active layer of the wafer, where the isolation structures preferably extend through the active layer to a BOX layer (104) of the wafer. An upper portion of the active layer is removed to form a transistor channel structure. A gate dielectric (120) is formed on the channel structure (143, 145) and a gate structure (140) is formed on the gate dielectric. Etching through exposed portions of the gate dielectric, channel structure, and BOX layer is performed and source/drain structures (160) are then grown epitaxially from exposed portions of the substrate bulk (102). The isolation structure and the BOX layer are both comprised primarily of silicon oxide and the thickness of the isolation structure prevents portions of the BOX layer from being etched.
Abstract:
An electrical zipper-type connector is provided which can be used in wearable electronics applications. The connector has a first connector part (20) with an array of connector members (21, 24) and a second connector part (30) with an array of connector members (31, 34), which can mate with the first array of connector members. The first and second connector parts (20, 30) have contacts for forming a conductive path when the connector parts (20, 30) are mated with one another. Once the connector parts (20, 30) have been mated a force is applied between the contacts, which maintains them in electrical contact. The force can be applied in a variety of ways, such as by: a resilient coating (26) on the connector parts; a cord which pulls the connector parts together; having one connector part clasp the other connector part; or binding the connector parts together. Alternatively, the first connector part can comprise a set of teeth that provide mechanical alignment and interconnection and a flexible strap (615) that carries contacts.
