| 20090017645 | CONNECTOR - A first contact and a second contact are inserted into one and the same inserting hole of a housing so that contact portions of the first and second contacts are facing to each other. The first contacts each include the contact portion at one end and a connection portion at the other end. The second contacts each includes a first piece having the contact portion at one end and a pressure receiving portion at the other end, a second piece having connection portion at an outer end, and an elastic jointing-portion for jointing the first piece and the remaining end of the second piece. A pivoting member includes an actuating portion, pushing portions, and anchoring holes. The pushing portions are pivotally moved between the pressure receiving portions and the connection portions of the second contacts, during which pivotal movement, the axis of rotation of the pushing portions is moved with their pivotal movement to achieve their compact rotation. The second contacts are each provided on the second piece with a fixing portion in the proximity of the elastic jointing-portion. The connector constructed as above described prevents the contacts from being warped or deformed when the pivoting member is being pivotally moved, and achieves a stable electrical connection, a reduced overall height of the connector and a high density of the conductors. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090047836 | CONNECTOR - The invention has an object to provide a connector | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090057417 | IC CARD - The present invention realizes a card on which a secure IC chip (a first semiconductor chip) that operates on both of a high power source voltage and a low power source voltage, and a nonvolatile semiconductor storage chip that operates on the lower power source voltage are mounted. Means for operating the card without exerting an adverse influence of the nonvolatile semiconductor storage chip when the high power source voltage is supplied is realized. A card has a voltage supply interrupting unit which is coupled to a power source terminal to which a first power source voltage and a second power source voltage higher than the first power source voltage are supplied, and a grounding terminal to which a grounding voltage is supplied. The voltage supply interrupting unit, when the first power source voltage is supplied, supplies voltage to a nonvolatile semiconductor storage chip and, when the second power source voltage is supplied, stops supplying the voltage to the nonvolatile semiconductor storage chip. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090068860 | CONNECTOR DEVICE - A connector device to be used with a flexible printed circuit board including a connector. The flexible printed circuit board has on its front and rear surfaces ground patterns, signal patterns and phase inversion signal patterns arranged such that the signal pattern and the phase inversion signal pattern are arranged between the two ground patterns, and has a ground layer between the front and rear surfaces and exposed portions located at predetermined positions and reaching the ground layer. The connector has first and second contacts of two kinds. The first and second contacts are arranged in one and the same inserting hole of the housing such that their contact portions are opposite to each other. When a pivoting member has been pivotally moved, the first and second contacts come into contact with the corresponding ground, signal and phase inversion signal patterns on the flexible printed circuit board and the members at the predetermined positions enter the exposed portions so as to contact the ground layer, thereby achieving a miniaturization of the connector and high speed transmission of signals. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090087228 | Developer transportation device and image forming apparatus - A developer transportation device includes a storage portion for storing developer; a transportation member formed of an elastic material and disposed in the storage portion to be freely rotatable for transporting the developer upon rotating; and a rotation transmission member for transmitting a rotation to the transportation member. The transportation member may be provided with an abutting portion abutting against a wall portion of the storage portion when the transportation member rotates. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090130881 | CONNECTOR - A connector to be detachably fitted with a connecting object, includes a required number of contacts, a housing, and a pivoting member acting upon the contacts to bring them into contact with a connecting object. In case of having many contacts, at least one contact is provided with an extended portion at a tip of its pressure receiving portion to extend toward its connection portion, and instead of a pushing portion of the pivoting member acting upon the contact, the pivoting member is provided with an engaging rod to engage the extending portion of the contact. The contact is arranged at an optional position so as to prevent the pivoting member from being warped. The contacts are arranged in a single row, or alternately arranged to be staggered. With the connector thus constructed, the pivoting member is not damaged when pivotally moving after the connecting object has been inserted to achieve a stable electrical connection even with very small pitches of contacts and very thin walls of the housing. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090163065 | CONNECTOR - The invention provides a connector enabling a dead space of a substrate to be reduced while maintaining connection strength. For this purpose, H-shaped contacts comprise holding means permitting pushing portions of a pivoting member to be pivoted between pressure receiving portions and connection portions of the contacts. When an actuating portion of the pivoting member is moved toward a fitting opening of a housing, the pushing portions are pivotally moved and their axes of rotation are moved to achieve their compact rotation, thereby bringing contact portions of the contacts into contact with a connecting object. The substrate is formed with a notch into which the connector is fitted to be connected to the substrate. Fixtures are provided at both longitudinal ands of the connector and both or either of the fixtures is provided with an extending piece integral therewith or separate therefrom, extending substantially perpendicularly to the substrate, thereby limiting a rotated angle of the pivoting member upon it being opened. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090263943 | METHOD OF FABRICATING SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE - A Co silicide layer having a low resistance and a small junction leakage current is formed on the surface of the gate electrode, source and drain of MOSFETS by silicidizing a Co film deposited on a main plane of a wafer by sputtering using a high purity Co target having a Co purity of at least 99.99% and Fe and Ni contents of not greater than 10 ppm, preferably having a Co purity of 99.999%. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090324261 | Image forming apparatus - An image forming apparatus is provided with an image forming portion for forming an image according to image information; an image forming unit arranged to be detachable and integrally including the image forming portion; a developer container arranged to be detachable for supplying developer to the image forming portion; and a blocking member for blocking developer from being supplied from the developer container to the image forming portion. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100260514 | IMAGE FORMING DEVICE - An image forming device includes a carrying device configured to carry a recording sheet in a predetermined carrying direction, and a plurality of image forming units that are arranged along the carrying direction and that are in contact with the carrying device. All of the image forming units are configured to be separable from the carrying device when one of the image forming units is detached from the carrying device. | 10-14-2010 |
