ROTARY CONNECTOR DEVICE AND FLAT CABLE ASSEMBLY FOR ROTARY CONNECTOR DEVICE
A flat cable assembly for a rotary connector device includes a first lead block, a first flat cable, and a second flat cable. The first lead block includes a first lead block body and a first conductor that includes a first exposure surface exposed from the first lead block body and is attached to the first lead block body. The first flat cable includes a first cable end portion connected to the first exposure surface so as to extend from the first exposure surface in a first direction. The second flat cable includes a second cable end portion connected to the first exposure surface so as to extend from the first exposure surface in a second direction, which is different from the first direction.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC TORCH TRIGGER FOR ROTATING POWER CONNECTOR FOR WELDING TORCH CABLES
A semi-automatic torch trigger for a rotating power connector in use in a welding torch cables is provided. In some examples, a trigger mechanism is configured to transmit control signals through a transmission channel that is not subject to mechanical wear from rotational movement of the rotating power connector, providing reliable communication between a welding torch trigger and a welding power supply without breaking electrical contact or putting unnecessary strain on the welding cable, even as the welding torch rotates relative to the welding torch cable.

Modular lamp
The present invention discloses a modular lamp, including several modular units and lamp connectors, where the modular unit is a single lamp, and the lamp connector is configured to connect to the modular unit; and a male connector terminal on either side of each lamp connector is electrically plug-connected to a female connector terminal of one modular unit. In the present invention, female connector terminals connected to a power cable and a control cable are disposed on the modular unit, matched male connector terminals are disposed on the lamp connector, and the lamp connector is directly plug-connected to multiple modular units, so that the multiple modular units can be simultaneously physically and electrically connected to obtain the modular lamp. In this way, diversified lighting requirements can be met by adding different installation accessories to the modules. In addition, assembly operations can be completed by simply performing plugging and unplugging operations, without needing a professional to perform cable-connection and cable-routing between the modular units. Special scenario requirements such as good lighting effects and high ambient temperatures can be met by adjusting module power.
ROTATING CONNECTION PORTS IN A COMPUTING DEVICE
A computing device includes a housing, an electronic component positioned in the housing, a stand supporting the housing, and a connection port. The connection port is in electrical communication with the electronic component. The housing has an outer surface, and the connection port is moveable relative to the housing to change a port angle of the connection port relative to the outer surface of the housing when a housing angle of the housing changes relative to the stand.

TORQUE HINGE, DEVICE HAVING A TORQUE HINGE, AND USE OF A TORQUE HINGE
A torque hinge for pivotally connecting two objects has an inner cable guide that provides electrical connection of the objects. The inner cable guide has at the interface a reversibly connectable electrical connector element pair. The torque hinge has a hollow-pin element, a friction element and a first and second bush element. The hollow-pin element is arranged in the first bush element at one end and extends into the second bush element at the other end. The friction element is arranged between the first and second bush elements. The hollow-pin element is connected at one end to the first bush element for conjoint rotation and is pivotably received in the second bush element at the other end, or the hollow-pin element is formed as a free-running pin that is pivotably received in the first bush element at one end and in the second bush element at the other end.

Array of pontoons for solar panel and connection modules therefor
Waves introduce stresses in a floating object, such as a pontoon. The stresses can be introduced by multiple mechanisms, such as waves crashing onto the pontoon, an imbalance in buoyancy and weight load causing hogging and sagging Alternating movements and stresses may result in fatigue in the material. Multiple pontoons can be moored next to each other. When placed on a body of water with a higher wave intensity, such as open sea, the wave induced motions and stresses may cause failures in the pontoons or connections between individual pontoons. A network of pontoons is provided, interconnected with connection modules. The connection modules allow the network of pontoons to resist the loads and movements from the waves or to follow the shape of the, thus preventing failures in the connection modules and in the pontoons. The pontoons may be used to provide a mounting surface for photovoltaic panels.
