A solid-state disk read/write apparatus includes a solid-state disk assembly (400) and a read/write console (100). The solid-state disk assembly (400) includes a solid-state disk main body (6) and an adapter module (5). The adapter module (5) includes a M.2 connector (52) and a USB connector (53). The solid-state disk main body (6) is electrically connected onto the M.2 connector (52). The read/write console (100) includes a circuit board (2) having a USB engagement connector (21) and a control chip (7) electrically arranged thereon. The solid-state disk assembly (400) uses the USB connector (53) to electrically connect onto the USB engagement connector (21), allowing the solid-state disk main body (6) to electrically connect to the read/write console (100) via the adapter module (5) and the control chip (7). Accordingly, the effects of reducing purchase cost, distributing heat sources and preventing re-insertion of the solid-state disk main body can be achieved.

A conductive building block having electric circuit disposed therein includes a top cover and at least one electric connection member. The top cover has a top-cover top portion, a first region, a second region, at least one communication groove, and at least one conductive stud. The first and second regions are projected downward from the top-cover top portion, and a height of the first region is different from a height of the second region. The electric connection member passes through the communication groove to be disposed in the first and second regions, and passes through the conductive stud. Thus, electronic elements, such as a battery and light emitting elements, which can provide functions, can be installed in the first region having a larger space. The electric circuit in the first region can extends to the second region by the electric connection member.

A lighted artificial tree includes a first tree portion including a first trunk portion, first branches joined to the first trunk portion, and a first light string. The first trunk portion has a trunk connector and a first trunk wiring assembly, the first trunk wiring assembly is electrically connectable to the first light string and the trunk connector, and at least a portion of the first wiring assembly is located inside the first portion. The second tree portion includes a second trunk portion, second branches, and a second light string. The second trunk portion has a trunk connector and a second trunk wiring assembly, the second trunk wiring assembly electrically connectable to the second lighting string and the trunk connector. The second tree portion may be mechanically coupled and electrically connected to the first tree portion by coaxially coupling the first trunk portion to the second trunk portion.

Elastic electrical connectors that may be incorporated into a garment to connect multiple electrical components in the garment. These electrical connectors are typically long strips of fabric substrate to which wires are attached along a length of one side in a sinusoidal or zig-zag pattern. The connector may also include an adhesive coating on one side to secure it to a fabric. The wires are electrically insulated, which may be a thermoremovable insulation (e.g., a polyurethane having a melting point of <400 C.). The wires may be attached to the surface of the fabric strip by a stitch at each peak and trough of the sinusoidal or zig-zag pattern with a length between peak and trough stitches between about 1 mm and 15 mm.

Disclosed is an artificial tree having a plurality of electrified tree sections that couple together to provide power and/or command signals to devices connected thereto. One or more tree sections may have a trunk portion, one or more electrical connectors having a plurality of terminals, branches, a light string, and an electrical distribution system located at least partially within the trunk portion. A first tree section may be configured to couple to a second tree section such that an electrical connector of the first tree section is in electrical connection with an electrical connector of the second tree section, thereby mechanically and electrically connecting the first tree section to the second tree section such that power and/or the control data are transmitted to the second tree section. Further, each trunk segment may include an axial electrical connector that permits adjacent trunk segments to connect in a plurality of radial orientations relative to each other.
