An electric terminal for electrically connecting a conductor. The electric terminal includes: a casing; a stationary member made of an electrically conductive material and attached to the casing, the stationary member having a recess formed therein; a movable member; and a screw member threadedly engaging with the movable member and rotatably supported by the casing so that the movable member moves towards and away from the stationary member by the rotation of screw member, whereby one end porti...

An electrical terminal having a coined rib for contact section rigidity and for increased crimp pressure against a wire in the wire barrel. The terminal, stamped and formed from thin metal stock, meets electrical and mechanical requirements and is lower in manufacturing costs.

A terminal system includes first and second terminals (7, 8 and 3a respectively). The terminals can be connected to a central equipment and the first terminals are used for a first functional mode, for example passage control, where persons allotted identification cards can insert information into the common central equipment. The first and second terminals and the central equipment are arranged for a second functional mode, which operates in parallel with the first functional mode. The messages...

In a display terminal coupled to a computer and including a plurality of user interrupt devices for interactive communication with the computer, an apparatus for signalling to the user when the computer responds to a user interrupt comprises a counter arranged to measure a specified period of time by counting down to zero from an initial count value loaded from a register, a sensor triggered by the generation of an interrupt to cause the counter to begin measurement of the said specified period ...

A solder terminal includes a clip adapted to be positioned on one edge of a substrate for forming soldered connections with substrate pads. A leg extends from the clip for forming an electrical connection with a circuit component.

A telemetry terminal for controlling and metering consumption of electricity, water, etc., at a consumer's premises having a programmable processor. The programmable processor includes a receiver to receive instructions over the phone line to operate switching controls and a transmitter to transmit readings stored in the processor from meters to a central control station over the phone line. The processor also has a switching control routine in the event of an interruption to the phone line.

A cable terminal formed in one piece in resin or plastic material providing a clam shell structure with integral hinge and which closes on a tortuously provided cable in and passages through the structure whereupon closure locks or latches the clam shell cable tautly into the terminal structure and closing a cable gripped bail element on selected rigging. A cap fits over the closed and locked terminal in the form of a terminal shroud or cover.

A display terminal of the type which is dependent on a remote processor for its operation and for its main data storage, comprising an interactive language interpreter (24) (e.g. for BASIC), terminal processor, local storage, display and a switch for switching between a session (90) associated with the remote processor and a session (91) dedicated to servicing the interactive language interpreter (24). During an interactive language session screens of data associated with the host session may be...

An electrical terminal for a receptacle or other electrical connector and the method of making it. The terminal is preferably a cylindrical screw machine part cross-slotted at one end for receiving a male blade terminal therein in either of two angularly different orientations. When the terminal is used in a combination receptacle and switch, the other end of the terminal, the end opposite the cross-slotted end, may include an integrally formed switch contact for direct interaction with another ...

An electric terminal comprising a body, a plurality of terminal pins and terminal nuts, a pin retainer, and retainer connecting apparatus releasably connecting the pin retainer to the terminal body. The terminal pins longitudinally extend through the body, and the terminal nuts encircle and engage upper portions of the terminal pins and are held thereby in pressure contact agains the body. The pin retainer longitudinally extends between terminal pins to insulate electrically the pins from adjace...
