A vehicle door outer handle system is provided in which a pair of electrodes and a circuit board on which is provided a detection circuit for detecting a change in capacitance between the electrodes are housed within an operating handle formed from a handle main body and a cover covering the outer side of the handle main body, the operating handle being disposed on an outer side of a vehicle door, and the electrodes (43) being patterned on the circuit board (44), the operating handle thereby being made thin.

A modular UPS system is provided wherein UPS systems may be constructed using a number of different frame components. In one example, a core UPS frame is provided that can accept different combinations of power and battery modules, and an extension frame is provided that can be combined with the core frame to provide a larger UPS system. According to one example, both the core and extension frame types may be used in either a standalone or rack-mounted configuration. Another aspect relates to packaging of UPS components such that the UPS frame need not include serviceable items. In another aspect, a rail system is provided that allows for easier installation of heavy components into rack-mount systems.

A fuel supply apparatus capable of following the positional variations of the bottom side of a fuel tank through a simple construction and improved in terms of ease of assembly in the fuel tank. The apparatus includes a fuel pump body in which a filter-integrated pump in which a fuel pump and a fuel filter are integrally formed is integrally accommodated in a fuel reservoir having a bottom capable of coming into abutment with a bottom side of the fuel tank, and causes the fuel pump body to travel to follow the variations of the bottom side of the fuel tank so as to be placed in abutment with the bottom side of the fuel tank, by means of an urging force generated on the basis of the pressure of the fuel inside the fuel pump body.

An electric connector assembly made up of a connector body having an inlet end portion, an outlet end portion, and a bore communicating the inlet end portion to the outlet end portion; and having a frustro-conical retaining ring mounted on the outlet end portion wherein the retainer ring includes locking tangs and one or more grounding tangs wherein the free end of the grounding tang defines the trailing end of the retainer ring. The locking tangs effect a snap-fit locking arrangement while the grounding tang effects an electrical grounding of the connector assembly, when connected to a knock-out hole of an electric box or panel. Various embodiments are disclosed wherein the grounding tang is formed so as to enhance the electrical grounding effect between the connector assembly and the electric box or panel connected thereto. An embodiment of the invention also provides for an installation tool to engage the retainer ring so as to facilitate the securing of the connector assembly to a knock-out hole of an electric box or panel.

The present oil separator is an oil separator for capturing oil contained in blow-by gas generated in an engine, and includes a housing provided independently of a body of the engine and a gas-liquid separation unit which is provided in the housing and separates blow-by gas into a gas component and an oil component. The housing includes a lead-in port through which the blow-by gas is led in, a lead-out port through which the gas component is led out, and a drain port through which the oil component is discharged. And the housing has an attachment portion inside to which a plurality of types of the gas-liquid separation units respectively are attachable, to which attachment portion, selected one of the plurality of types of gas-liquid separation units is attached.

A composite fan frame includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame has a first surface formed with at least one first protrusion portion. The second frame has a second surface formed with at least one first recess portion. When the first surface touches the second surface, the first protrusion portion is inserted into the first recess portion along a predetermined sliding direction such that the first frame and the second frame are combined. Also, a composite fan having the composite fan frame is disclosed.
