A circuit connector for a humidification system, the system comprising a base unit configured to be engaged by a humidification chamber. The circuit connector comprises an inlet to fluidly connect to an outlet of the humidification chamber to receive humidified gases therefrom, an outlet to sealably connect to or integral with a conduit for directing the humidified gases to a user, and an electrical terminal for electrically coupling the circuit connector to an electrical terminal associated with the base unit. The circuit connector may be releasably and lockably connectable to the outlet of the humidification chamber and/or orientation features may control orientation of component parts of the system as they are assembled.

A connector assembly includes an insulative housing, first and second conductive ground wafers (see e.g., 661 and 663) and a plurality of grounding links. The insulative housing has a plurality of conductive signal terminals disposed therein (see e.g., 662). The insulative housing has opposite side surfaces and a plurality of openings therein extending between the side surfaces. The second ground wafer is spaced from and parallel to the first ground wafer. The grounding links are electrically connected to one of the ground wafers and extend towards another of the ground wafers and extend through the openings in the housing.

According to an aspect, there is provided an electrical socket system comprising: an electrical socket comprising at least one temperature sensor; and a controller configured to monitor a temperature sensed by the temperature sensor, wherein the controller is configured to: determine a temperature gradient of the temperature with respect to time; determine if the temperature gradient exceeds a threshold gradient value; and trigger an alarm event if it is determined that the temperature gradient exceeds the threshold gradient value.

A liquid cooled charging cable system may be provided. The liquid cooled charging cable system may comprise a source, a load, a liquid cooled charging cable, and a cooling device. The liquid cooled charging cable may connect the source to the load, and may supply electric energy from the source to the load. The liquid cooled charging cable may comprise a supply conductor and a return conductor. The cooling device may pump a coolant around the supply conductor and the return conductor where the supply conductor and the return conductor may be immersed in the coolant.

A device for connecting fluid lines and other lines. The device has a first connection component for connecting fluid lines and a second connection component for connecting other lines. The first connection component has a first functional position, in which the first connection component disconnects the two fluid lines from one another, and a second functional position, in which the first connection component connects two fluid lines. The second connection component, in a connection position, connects two other lines and, in a release position, disconnects the two other lines from one another.

A quick connect assembly includes a connector housing and fluid connectors that fluidly couple an ink assembly and a print assembly. The quick connect assembly also includes conductive connectors that conductively couple hardware circuitry in the ink assembly with hardware circuitry in the print assembly. First and second portions of the connector housing mate with each other to couple the fluid connectors and to couple the conductive connectors. The first and second housing portions mate with each other by rotating the first housing portion and/or the second housing portion relative to the other of the first housing portion and/or the second housing portion.
