    摘要: A system for transmitting and receiving communications formed using different communication protocols between members of a tractor-trailer over an SAE J560 standard electrical connection includes one or more communication hubs. Each hub includes one or more power converters, one more power line communication codec and a controller. The controller establishes one or more communication networks between members of the tractor-trailer over different pairs of conductors in the electrical connection and controls the power converters to covert power signals transmitted over the networks between direct current waveforms and alternating current waveforms. The controller controls the codecs to transmit communications over the communication networks by encoding and decoding communications over the alternating current waveforms thereby allowing the transfer of communications having different communication protocols between members of the tractor-trailer.

    摘要: This disclosure relates generally to coupling a furniture accessory to a furniture apparatus. One embodiment provides a method of electrically coupling at least one electrical contact on a furniture accessory to at least one electrical contact on a furniture apparatus. The method may comprise positioning a portion of an elongate body, coupled to the furniture apparatus, in a space between at least two retaining bodies of a retainer coupled to the furniture accessory such that the at least two retaining bodies contact an exterior surface of the elongate body on at least the portion of the elongate body and retain at least the portion of the elongate body in the space. Positioning the portion of the elongate body in the space may comprise electrically coupling at least one electrical contact of the furniture accessory with at least one electrical contact of the furniture apparatus.

    摘要: An electronic device with a detachable plug includes a main body and a plug body. The main body has a fitting recess, a first conductive terminal group, and a press portion. The first conductive terminal group is disposed in the fitting recess. The press portion is located on at least one side of the fitting recess, and the press portion is formed by at least one exterior side plate and at least one interior side plate of the main body together. A press space exists between the at least one exterior side plate and the at least one interior side plate. The at least one interior side plate has an opening communicating with the fitting recess, and the at least one exterior side plate has a bump passing through the opening. The plug body is detachably configured in the fitting recess of the main body.
