A connector apparatus for controlling fluid dispensing / transmission that includes a control component for communication between couplers thereof. A first coupler has a transmitter, and is releasably connected with a mating reader coupler that has a transmitter and fluid control device to exchange information with the transmitter of the first coupler. The transmitters communicate and are operated by wireless means such as by RF devices. Upon confirming that the first coupler is properly coupled to the mating coupler and that the first coupler has a proper identification, the fluid control device controls fluid flow, using the transmitters of the first coupler and the mating reader coupler, under predetermined parameters, e.g., pressure, temperature, duration, and flow rate, as indicated in the first coupler.

A tube joint comprises a retaining mechanism which retains the locked state by preventing a sleeve from any rotation in the circumferential direction which would be otherwise caused by any unexpected external force. The retaining mechanism includes a ratchet which is provided to surround the outer circumferential surface of a socket body and which is rotatable synchronously with the sleeve, and a coil spring which is interposed between the sleeve and the ratchet and which makes an urging action to cause mutual separation under an action of the spring force.

A WEP key is generated from predetermined binary data and stored in an access point. The binary data is converted into an SSID using a predetermined conversion algorithm. The access point transmits the SSID in a beacon. A mobile game apparatus receives the SSID and recovers the binary data from the SSID using the predetermined conversion algorithm. Using the same algorithm as used for generating the WEP key, a WEP key is generated from the recovered binary data. Encrypted communication is performed between the access point and the mobile game apparatus using the WEP key.

A connector is provided with a pair of female and male housings (10, 40) connectable with each other. The female housing (10) includes a block-shaped housing main body (11) and the male housing (40) includes a receptacle (42) having an inner surface shape conforming to outer surfaces of the housing main body (11). Corners on the outer surface of the housing main body diagonal to each other are bevels (14, 15) with different shapes. The bevels (14, 15) include moderately inclined portions (14) located at the opposite ends of the upper surface of the housing main body (11) and inclined at a relatively large angle with respect to a height direction and steeply inclined portions (15) located at the opposite ends of the lower surface of the housing main body (11) and inclined at a relatively small angle with respect to the height direction.

The invention relates to a plug for a connecting wire, a speaker terminal of a device such as an amplifier connected with the plug, and a connector system for using the plug and the terminal, which simply and correctly connecting the speaker terminals such as speaker and amplifier with the connecting wire in a sound system with a plurality of speakers in different size through a plurality of channels as home theaters.
