A spray dryer device for spray drying a sample dissolved in an organic solvent is disclosed, comprising a circulation line in which an inert gas is circulated by a blower, a heater for heating the inert gas to a specified temperature, a main drying chamber provided with a spray nozzle through which the sample dissolved in the organic solvent is sprayed into the inert gas, a collector in which the powdered sample produced in the main drying chamber is collected, and a condenser in which the gaseous organic solvent is condensed and recovered. The powdered sample is obtained in this spray dryer device for spray drying organic solvents by spraying the organic solvent through the spray nozzle into the main drying chamber in which the oxygen concentration is held to a low value by the introduction of the inert gas.

An edge connector (5) for receiving an edge of a circuit board (6) is disclosed. The contacts (2) positioned in the housing (4) of the connector (5) include a resilient stand-up section (25) having a tip (25a) defining a first contact point (A) and a C-shaped section (26) having a tip (26a) defining a second contact point (C) with the circuit board (6) being received between the first and second contact points (A,C).

A high-speed welding apparatus comprises a frame F along which a first conveying mechanism (20) moves a carrier member (11) having mounted thereon a holder (14) holding a connector (100) and a cable (103) to a welding station (30). A feed mechanism (30A) at the welding station (30) engages the carrier member (11) and continously feeds it at a specified speed along the welding station (30) so that a welding device (33) automatically welds electrical conductors of the cable (103) to respective electrical contacts of the connector (100). A second conveying mechanism (40) then moves the carrier member (11) away from the welding station (30) so that the welded connector and cable can be removed therefrom.
