A connector includes a protrusion. The protrusion protrudes toward a distal end side to serve as a distal end of the connector. The connector moves in a diagonal direction relative to a first separator. A worker positions the connector in a Z direction, before moving the connector. With an upward protrusion and an inward protrusion formed, the worker standing by a first side wall looks into a casing from above to see a portion around an attachment portion. When the connector is positioned close to the attachment portion, the worker looking into the casing from above cannot see a bottom surface of the connector. The worker can see the protrusion even when he or she cannot see the bottom surface.

Each of a first connector and a second connector of a connector assembly includes at least two high frequency signal terminals. When viewed from a first direction, each periphery of the high frequency signal terminals is surrounded by an outer shell and an inner shell. The outer shell has a substantially quadrilateral shape. The high frequency signal terminals, the outer shells surrounding peripheries of the high frequency signal terminals, and the inner shells, which are disposed on a second symmetry axis form a linearly symmetrical shape with the second symmetry axis as a center line of the outer shells along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction in which the high frequency signal terminals are arranged.

Provided is a connector including a surrounding wall with an improved strength against an outward force.

The connector of the invention includes a contact that contacts a counter contact of a counter connector, a housing to which the contact is fitted and attached, and a surrounding wall disposed to surround the housing. A gap is provided between the housing and the surrounding wall, and in a connector fitting state, the surrounding wall is in contact with a counter surrounding wall of the counter connector that has entered the gap. The surrounding wall is provided with a protrusion portion protruding outward in a second direction intersecting a first direction, and an end portion on a board side of the protrusion portion in the first direction is in contact with a board.

A receptacle cage includes cage walls forming a module channel that is configured to receive a pluggable module. The cage walls extend between a front end and a rear end of the receptacle cage. At least one of the cage walls is a latch wall including a latching feature configured to engage a latch of the pluggable module to retain the pluggable module in the module channel. The receptacle cage includes a first slider pressure tab. The first slider pressure tab extends from the latch wall into the module channel. The first slider pressure tab is configured to engage a slider arm of the latch to press the slider arm inward toward a pluggable module body of the pluggable module

On a round plug, outwardly directed detent hooks are arranged between a plug-in region and a contact carrier portion of an insulating body or a base portion of the round plug housing. A mating connector has, on a plug-in side of a threaded portion, an inwardly directed circumferential or interrupted detent lug. The detent arms do not need to reach through the threaded portion. The detent arms can therefore be made particularly strong, and the inner thread can be continuous. The retaining forces of the locking/screwing are thus very high, and the detent arms for example can be integrally molded on a plastic insulation body, and thus be formed in one piece therewith, for simplified production. Operation and manufacture are significantly simplified.

The process includes pretreating the biomass with a first basic solution such as sodium hydroxide and mechanically altering the fibers to provide a fluidized biomass. The fluidized biomass is then subjected to high frequency pulses and shear forces without denaturing the individual components of the biomass. The biomass is then subjected to compressive force to separate a first liquid fraction from a first fractionated biomass. The first fractionated biomass may again then be subjected to the same high frequency pulses and shear forces as previously, particularly if there are hemicellulose and/or sugars still present in the first fractionated biomass. Compressive forces are used to separate a second liquid fraction from a second fractionated biomass. The second fractionated biomass is subjected to oxidation such as with hydrogen peroxide at a pH of 8 to 12. The second fractioned biomass is then subjected to compressive forces to separate one or more water insoluble components of the biomass in water soluble form.

A quick-locking male connector includes: an inner contact; an insulator; an outer contact; a spring basket with a plurality of spring fingers; an elastic claw with at least radially-inward one tooth and a radially-outward nub; a connector body attached to the outer contact; and a coupling nut having at least one radially-inward extending nub. The coupling nut is movable between a rear unsecured position, in which the nub of the coupling nut is rearward of the nub of the claw, and a forward secured condition, in which the nub of the coupling nut engages the nub of the claw and forces the at least one tooth of the claw radially inward to engage with a thread of an outer conductor body of a mating female connector. The spring fingers of the spring basket apply radially-outward pressure to the outer conductor body of the mating female connector.

An electrically conductive magnetic snap fastener for releasably coupling a first material to a second material, the fastener including a male fastening element having a stud and stud flange affixable to the first material, and a female fastening element affixable to the second material and including a cover and a magnet disposed within a cavity defined by the cover, and defining a channel into which the stud is insertable, the female fastening element being electrically conductive at least in a portion disposed for electrically conductive contact with the male fastening element when the stud is inserted in the channel, and the cover being a unitary member of electrically conductive metal, wherein the channel is a distally closed and proximally open socket defined by a continuous wall portion of the cover for receiving the stud and preventing passage of liquid through the channel to the magnet.
