Abstract: [Object] 
     To enhance a force of a retainer for locking terminal fittings. 
     [Solution] 
     When a retainer 13 is inserted into a retainer mount hole 12 formed in
the bottom wall of a female housing 1, locking projections 15 formed in the
retainer 13 are engaged with terminal fittings 16, thereby locking them so as not
to come out. End locking portions 19 are provided at the opposite ends of the
retainer 13, and intermediate locking portions 20 are provided between the end
locking portions 19. In the female housing 1 are provided end and intermediate
receiving portions 21, 22 corresponding to the end and intermediate locking
portions 19, 20. Partial and full locking portions 23, 24 for holding the retainer
13 in its partial and full locking positions are formed in the end and intermediate
receiving portions 21, 22. If the retainer 13 has a long width, its force to lock
the terminal fittings may be reduced at and near the center of the female
housing 1. However, since the corresponding pairs of locking portions and
receiving portions are provided in intermediate positions, a sufficient locking
force can be ensured.

presence of the received current (Iref). Wherein a first condition, absent
illumination by the projected image (M) on the current sink (S), the current
(Iref) from the source (250) divides and is coupled to the detector (250) in
accordance with a first ratio, the detector (275) assuming a first state
indicative of the absence of illumination, and in a second condition in

Abstract: For centrifugal yarn spinning, a number of spinning stations each have their dedicated drawing units to deliver drawn sliver through tubes to the spinning centrifuges. At the start of a spinning cycle by the spinning machine (10), the separate spinning stations are checked for the presence of yarn debris. The rotating frequency of the yarn leg (20) is measured at the separate spinning stations, for comparison with a nominal rotating frequency. The rotating frequency is monitored by a sensor (28) which registers the movement of the yarn (18), and the rotating frequency is established proportional to the rotating frequency of the yarn balloon. The rotating frequency is filtered out of the noise signal representing the yarn movement. The filtered frequency signal is analyzed, especially by a fast Fourier transformation. For the comparison, nominal values are taken from known geometric measurements and especially the known radius of an empty centrifuge. The rotating frequency is measured at the rotating yarn legs of all the spinning stations (12) simultaneously, at the spinning machine, and compared with each other. On detection of yarn debris (30) in a spinning centrifuge, the sliver stop (54) is activated at the drawing unit for that spinning station (12). An Independent claim is included for a centrifugal spinning machine with a sensor (28) at each spinning station to register physical values during a spinning cycle. These measurements are used to determine the loading condition of each spinning centrifuge (14).
