Disclosed is a crimping machine for crimping contact elements comprising a conveying device via which a separated wire ferrule is guided from a transport unit towards a crimping head.

A holder apparatus of a bio-signal device comprises a holder, which comprises a pocket for a bio-signal processing device, an extension with a hollow, the hollow and the pocket forming a continuous cavity through the holder, a connector, and an elastic seal with a hole. A shape of the elastic seal is matched with a shape of the hollow of the extension at an interface of the pocket, and the hollow and a shape of the hole is matched with a shape of the connector for sealing an interface between the connector and the holder while the connector and the elastic seal are within the hollow and the connector is in contact with the elastic seal. Sealant filler fills the hollow of the extension and is in physical contact with the connector, which is in the hollow against the seal, the elastic seal and the sealant filler allowing the connector to mate electrically with a counter-connector moved within the cavity in a direction from the pocket toward the hollow.

A tool has a pneumatic cylinder driving unit, a stationary portion, a movable portion, a loading portion, a first heating portion, and a second heating portion. The movable portion is movably connected to a first and second stationary shaft of the stationary portion, the movable portion is fixedly connected to the pneumatic cylinder driving unit by a movable shaft, the movable shaft is driven to slide axially with respect to the first and second stationary shaft by the pneumatic cylinder driving unit, the loading portion is movably connected to the second stationary shaft of the stationary portion and slides between a stationary portion body and a movable portion body, the loading portion rotates around the second stationary shaft.

Mechanisms are provided for cabling a set of enclosures. Using a set of cables that comprises eight physical layers (PHYs), the set of enclosures are coupled together such that: for a first enclosure and each intermediate enclosure in the set of enclosures, at least four PHYs of the eight PHYs terminate within a Serial Attached Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) (SAS) expander of the first enclosure and a SAS expander of each intermediate enclosure white passing through a remaining four PHYs of the eight PHYs without connecting to the respective SAS expander; and, for a last enclosure in the set of enclosures, all of the eight PHYs terminate in the SAS expander of the last enclosure.

A waterproof reversible USB receptacle and a method for manufacturing the waterproof reversible USB receptacle, including: an insulation case having a hollow portion; a stopper integrally formed in the hollow portion of the insulation case and including a blocking body, a through hole formed in the blocking body, and extension sheets formed by extending from the blocking body while being bent, the extension sheets being integrally formed in the insulation case; a connector sleeved in the insulation case and including a base portion stopped on the blocking body, and a connection tongue portion extending forward from the base portion and passing through the through hole of the stopper; and a waterproof adhesive coated on a rear portion of the insulation case. The extension sheets further extend to form fixing plates bent to be buckled to a rear end of the base portion after the connector is inserted.

A filler-containing film has a structure in which fillers are held in a binder resin layer. The average particle diameter of the fillers is 1 to 50 μm, the total thickness of the resin layer is 0.5 times or more and 2 times or less the average particle diameter of the fillers, and the ratio Lq/Lp of, relative to the minimum inter-filler distance Lp at one end of the filler-containing film in a long-side direction, a minimum inter-filler distance Lq at the other end at least 5 m away from the one end in the film long-side direction is 1.2 or less. The fillers are preferably arranged in a lattice form.

A connector manufacturing method includes: a first insertion process of inserting a conductor held by a housing through an annular seal member; a second insertion process of inserting the conductor through an annular portion of a support member; a pushing-in process of pushing the seal member into a gap between an inner circumferential surface of a recess in the housing and the conductor by pressing the seal member using the annular portion; and an engagement process of making the annular portion support the seal member at a predetermined position by engaging the support member and the housing, wherein the predetermined position is a position before a bottom portion of the recess.

A wire harness assembly system is disclosed. The wire harness assembly system includes a grid tile designed to receive repositionable accessories to route wires along the grid tile. The grid tile includes a plurality of keyed holes extending from the top of the grid tile, through the grid tile, to the bottom of the grid tile. The grid tile also includes a locking surface on the bottom of the grid tile. The locking surface complements the plurality of keyed holes to receive the repositionable accessory and to maintain the repositionable accessory in a locked position.
