There is provided a movable connector that facilitates easy engagement and improves stability in electrical connection. The movable connector includes a manipulation housing that is coupled to a movable housing by a pressing operation of the manipulation housing against the movable housing. The movable connector also includes a contact reinforcing member that moves together with the manipulation housing by the pressing operation. The contact reinforcing member comes into contact with a pair of contact portions of a circuit-board connection terminal and thereby presses the contact portions against a pin terminal.

Movable connector

A connector to which a connection target object is fitted and connected by inserting the connection target object into a fitting chamber is configured to allow the fitting operation to be readily performed even in a case where the connector is small. An insertion guiding surface is provided round an insertion port through which the connection target object is inserted. The insertion guiding surface has an inner guiding surface that extends from the edge of the insertion port toward the fitting chamber, an intermediate guiding surface provided in a region outside the inner guiding surface, and an outer guiding surface provided in a region outside the intermediate guiding surface. The inner guiding surface differs from the intermediate guiding surface in terms of shape, and the intermediate guiding surface differs from the outer guiding surface in terms of shape.

Electrical connector

A movable connector with which an insertion force of a connection object that places a load on a solder portion can be reduced, that has a floating function, and that can be reduced in size is provided. As a result of a pushing operation in which an operation housing is pushed into a fixed housing, a relay terminal is conductively connected to a substrate connection terminal, which is in conductive contact with a substrate, and a pin terminal, which is disposed in a movable housing and serves as the connection object, in the movable housing. Accordingly, the overall size of the movable connector can be reduced. In addition, the insertion force applied to the pin terminal is not applied to the solder portion by which the movable connector is fixed to the substrate, so that conduction failure does not occur.

In a substrate-side housing of a plug connector and a housing of a socket connector, an abutment receiving portion and a columnar projection are provided to disable the socket connector from being inserted into the substrate-side housing when the socket connector is misaligned beyond a movable range of a fitting-side housing of the plug connector.

Connector with terminal overstress prevention

A plug connector includes a substrate-side housing, a fitting-side housing, a plurality of terminals having movable springs. The fitting-side housing is formed by a plurality of divided housings. The fitting-side housing is formed by a plurality of divided housings moveable separately in a width direction of the connector. The substrate-side housing includes a receiving chamber that receives the divided housings therein and an abutment receiving portion against which the divided housings displaced inside the receiving chamber abut. The terminals are disposed in each of the divided housings, and have contact portions inside the substrate-side housing and the divided housings, and the contact portions are to be in conductive contact with the connection object. The movable springs support each of the divided housings displaceably relative to the substrate-side housing.

Floating connector with multiple fitting-side housings

A charge control device including: a charge control unit configured to select a power storage device to be charged from a plurality of power storage devices in accordance with degrees of subsequent deterioration of the power storage devices, the degrees being calculated based on battery information of the power storage devices each having a secondary battery; and a transmission unit configured to transmit a charge command to a power storage device selected by the charge control unit.

Charge control device, charge control method, program, and system

A semiconductor device includes an execution unit that executes an arithmetic instruction, and a scheduler including multiple first setting registers each defining a correspondence relationship between hardware threads and partitions, and which generates a thread select signal on the basis of a partition schedule and a thread schedule. The scheduler outputs a thread select signal designating a specific hardware thread, without depending on the thread schedule as the partition indicated by a first occupation control signal, according to a first occupation control signal output when the execution unit executes a first occupation start instruction.

Thread scheduling in a system with multiple virtual machines

A semiconductor device includes an instruction decoder that decodes an instruction code and thereby generates instruction information, an execution unit that performs an operation based on the instruction information through pipeline processing, and a pipeline control unit that controls an order of the instruction code to be processed in the pipeline processing, in which the pipeline control unit includes a register for defining presence/absence of an authority to execute a first privilege program for each virtual machine, the first privilege program being to be executed on one virtual machine, refers to the register, and when the virtual machine that has issued the instruction code relating to the first privilege program has an authority to execute the first privilege program, instructs the execution unit to execute a process based on the instruction code relating to a second privilege program, based on an operation of the first privilege program.

Semiconductor device improving performance of virtual machines

A data processing apparatus includes: an instruction execution section; an instruction protection information storage section that stores instruction protection information for specifying at least one partial address space in an instruction address space for storing instructions executed by the instruction execution section; a data protection information storage section that stores data protection information for specifying multiple partial address spaces in a data address space for storing operands for use in an operation of the instruction execution section; and a protection violation determination section that determines whether to permit access from the instruction execution section based on setting of the instruction and data protection information storage sections. The data processing apparatus selectively invalidates protection of the instruction address space using the instruction protection information storage section, independently of protection of the data address space using the data protection information storage section.

Data processing apparatus and address space protection method

A microcomputer includes a CPU, a protection information storage configured to store memory protection information specifying an access permission or a prohibited state to a memory space by a program executed by the CPU, a memory access control apparatus configured to determine whether or not to allow a memory access request from the CPU according to the memory protection information, and a reset apparatus configured to invalidate the memory protection information stored in the protection information storage according to a reset request signal output from the CPU to a switching of programs executed by the CPU, the reset request signal being based on a state of execution of the program by the CPU. The reset apparatus sets all valid bit storing fields of a plurality of protection setting registers of the protection information storage to invalid state in response to the reset request signal output by the CPU.

Microcomputer and method for controlling memory access

A data processing device includes an instruction executing part executing a normal task and a management task scheduling an execution order of the normal task with switching the normal task and the management task, a counter measuring an execution state of the normal task being executed in the instruction executing part, and a state controller controlling the counter based on the normal task being executed in the instruction executing part. The instruction executing part determines whether the normal task to be executed next of a plurality of normal tasks scheduled by the management task is a measurement object or not, and outputs an operation signal notifying the state controller of the determination result. The state controller operates the counter in accordance with the branch operation.
