Inventor: FUKAMACHI MAKOTO
IPC: H01R13/629
Filed: 2000-03-17
Abstract: When a lever 30 is pivoted to a correct position, a stopping protrusion 40 fits with a
lever stopping member 14 of a female housing 10, thereby causing the female housing
10 and a male housing 20 to fit completely together. When the lever 30 reaches the
final position, releasing members 42 of the lever 30 push down arms 59 of a detecting
member 50 attached in a groove 13 of the female housing 10, thereby releasing
stopping members 60 of the arms 59 from an engaged state against regulating members
18 which protrude from side faces of the groove 13. As a result, the detecting member
50 can be pushed in an anterior direction. This movement of the detecting member 50
allows one to detect tat the two housings 10 and 20 have been correctly fitted together.
Furthermore, if the detecting member 50 cannot be moved, it can be detected that the
two housings 10 and 20 are in a half-fitted state.

Abstract: Capacitive crosstalk compensation coupling is achieved
in a communication connector by the use of a capacitor
compensation assembly. The assembly includes a housing
constructed to be associated with a communication connector
having elongated terminal contact wires. One or more
crosstalk compensation capacitors are supported in the
housing. Each compensation capacitor includes a first
electrode having a first terminal, a second electrode
having a second terminal, and a dielectric spacer is
disposed between the first and the second electrodes. The
terminals of the electrodes are exposed at positions
outside of the housing so that selected terminal contact
wires of the connector make electrical contact with
corresponding terminals of the compensation capacitors to
provide capacitive coupling between the selected contact
wires when the contact wires are engaged by a mating
connector.

are required to be warmed up or activated; wherein the control device includes a first control
part for control part control the engine with an air-fuel ratio of the engine being set at a value
in proximity to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, an ignition timing being set at a point after a
top dead center and a fuel injection timing being set within a compression stroke: and a
second control part for controlling the engine with an air-fuel ratio of the engine being set at
a value in proximity to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, with an ignition timing being set before
a top dead center and a fuel injection timing being set within a compression stroke after the
first control part controls the engine. 
     The controlling operation performed by the first control part enables stable afterburning

the catalysts while controlling the emission of unburned HC. The following controlling
operation of the second control part enables CO and O 2  to coexist in the exhaust gases and

Abstract: A turbocharger in which a drive shaft supports at one end a turbine driven by
exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine. The end of the drive shaft remote
from the turbine supports a drive connection which is coupled to an output shaft of the
driving engine. The shaft is supported in a housing by a first bearing adjacent the
turbine and a second bearing adjacent the drive coupling. The first and second
bearings each define an inner bearing surface relative to which the shaft rotates and an
outer bearing surface which rotates relative to the housing. The first and second
bearings are mechanically coupled together such that they rotate relative to the
housing at the same speed. Coupling the two bearings together ensures that
directional forces applied to the bearing at the end adjacent the drive connection
which might cause that bearing to seize are resisted by torque delivered from the
bearing at the other end of the shaft.
