Abstract:
A connector structure is provided wherein a generally sheet-like cable has a plurality of conductors disposed parallel to one another at predetermined intervals and is insulatively covered, and an end portion of the cable is inserted into an opening formed in a connector housing, so that the conductors are respectively pressed against and connected to a plurality of resilient connection terminals received in the housing. The structure includes a holder which is sandwiched by the pre-bent end portion of the cable, and having slits corresponding to gaps between the conductors; and a holder guide which is connected to the holder in such a manner that the holder and the cable pass through the holder guide. The holder and the holder guide are fitted into the housing, and the connector housing has partition walls engaging in the gaps and the slits.
Abstract:
In a navigation system by which vehicle travel locations are detected by an angular rate sensor and a distance sensor and the detected vehicle travel locations are corrected so as to be displayed along a map road, the display errors are improved by matching a vehicle turn point behind a route judge area to a map branch point; a route judge area is adjusted according to route conditions to an adjacent branch point or detected travel angles or a distance between two adjacent branch points. Further, non-corrected vehicle location data are displayed only within the route judge area to remove unnatural vehicle location display.
Abstract:
Provided is a wire harness assembly configured to be lightweight while reducing burden on a first control means, and a lighting unit comprising the wire harness assembly. A wire harness assembly for connecting a plurality of lighting loads to a control unit that outputs a control signal for controlling the plurality of lighting loads independently is provided with: a first wire harness connected to the control unit and including a power-supply line, a ground line, and a signal line for multiplex transmission of the control signal output from the control unit to each of the lighting loads; a second wire harness including a first electric line commonly connected to one ends of the plurality of lighting loads, and a plurality of second electric lines connected to the other ends of the plurality of lighting loads individually; and a relay connector connecting the first wire harness to the second wire harness.
Abstract:
A wire harness includes a standard connection circuit part which connects a standard electronic device and an ECU, and an optional connection circuit part which connects optional electronic devices and the ECU. The optional connection circuit part includes a communication connector which is provided to be connectable to the optional electronic devices, and an optional circuit which connects the ECU to the communication connector. The communication connector performs multiplex communication which multiplexes communication of the optional electronic devices and the ECU.
Abstract:
The first connector includes a first connector housing and a second connector housing movable to and from said first connector housing, and the second connector includes a third connector housing to be coupled with the second housing. The first connector housing incorporates a connection terminal, said second connector housing incorporates a movable contact piece arranged within a terminal chamber and slidably coupled with said connection terminal, and the third terminal incorporates an electrical contact piece to be electrically connected to said movable contact piece. The first connector is mounted on a first mounting module, and the second connector is mounted on the second mounting module. The first mounting module and the second mounting module are coupled with each other. When the second connector housing is moved toward the third connector housing of the second connector, electrical connection between both connectors and fixing of the coupled mounting modules can be simultaneously carried out.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus having a developing device which accommodates a developer for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of a latent image carrier, a developing member provided in said developing device for supplying the developer to the electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of the latent image carrier and a mixing member provided in the developing device for mixing the developer accommodated within the developing device. In the above image forming apparatus, the operating time of the mixing member is determined prior to the start of operation of the developing member based on at least one value of a toner density at the end of developing, the developer standing idle time, and the total number of developing cycles with the same developer.
Abstract:
An angular velocity sensor for detecting angular velocity by converting deflection caused by the coriolis force into an electrical signal. The sensor includes a vibratory member having at least three main surfaces including a first main surface having a driving transducer provided thereon, and second and third surfaces substantially perpendicular to the first main surface respectively, and being parallel to each other, the second and third main surfaces having detecting piezoelectric transducers, respectively. Additionally, support members are connected to the second and third main surfaces to respectively support vibration-steady points of the vibratory member. At least one longitudinal end portion of the vibratory member has a cross-section in such a manner that a length between the second and third main surfaces is shorter than a length of the first main surface. In this manner, the sensitivity of the angular velocity sensor is improved.
