A programming device for making a program for returning a robot to its waiting position when the robot is stopped by an error. A robot control device is connected to the programming device via a network line. When the robot during operation is stopped by the error, information including data of a position where the robot is stopped is transferred to the programming device. The programming device makes the returning program, based on layout data, the received information and data including teaching positions and attribute data of the positions, by which the robot may be returned from the stop position to the waiting position without interfering with peripheral devices. The returning program is executed by using an offline simulation function of the programming device. The program is transferred to the robot control device after it is judged that interference will not occur. The robot may be safely returned to the waiting position by executing the returning program.

An electrical connector includes a connecting casing, a terminal assembly and a receiving member, in favor to attaching on a cable. Each rear end of a plurality of terminals of the terminal assembly protrude to a terminal carrier of the terminal assembly in furtherance to penetrate through the receiving member up till the terminals being exposed out of a rear-side socket of the connecting casing.

An electrical connector plug has resilient contact terminals for electrical connection to an electrical connector socket. The electrical connector plug has an electrically conductive housing, and a dielectric shell and resilient contact terminals are mounted in the electrically conductive housing. The dielectric shell has a base portion and a front edge portion extending from the base portion. Two groups of resilient contact terminals are mounted on the dielectric shell and axially symmetrical to each other in the longitudinal direction, with each of the resilient contact terminals having a flat section and an upwardly protruding contact section. A metallic shield frame surrounds the front edge portion and is electrically connected to the electrically conductive housing, with the metallic shield frame having a front section and two lateral protective sections. The lateral protective sections have a height no less than that of the upwardly protruding contact sections.

The present invention concerns a method for manufacturing a plurality of multi-layered cells, particularly liquid crystal display cells, or electrochemical photovoltaic cells, or a combination of such cells, each cell including at least two superposed sealed cavities each delimited by a sealing frame and filled with a liquid, this method comprising the step of collectively manufacturing a batch of cells including at least three plates common to all the display cells and connected to each other by patterns of sealing material connecting said plates to each other and forming the sealing frames which delimit the cavities of said cells, this method being characterised in that filling holes are pierced through the plates such that each of the cavities of a cell is fed by a different filling hole, each of the filling holes being in communication with at least two cells and feeding the cavities of the same level, i.e. comprised between the same two plates, or different levels of these at least two cells, said filling holes being isolated in a sealed manner from the cavities that they must not feed.

There is provided a liquid discharge apparatus including: a liquid discharge head which includes a channel structure provided with a nozzle and a liquid channel, a driving element, and a driving unit; a light emitting part; a liquid receiving part receiving light passed through or reflected by the meniscus; and a controller. The controller controls the driving unit to apply at least one of several kinds of meniscus driving signals to the driving element in a state that the light emitting part emits the light to the nozzle, thereby vibrating the meniscus in the nozzle, and is configured to determine a recovery operation from among several kinds of recovery operations which have mutually different liquid discharge amounts to be discharged from the nozzle, on the basis of an amount of light which is received by the light receiving part in the case of vibrating the meniscus of the liquid.

The invention discloses a glass reinforced plastic open caisson modularization pump station capable of being quickly constructed and a construction method thereof. The glass reinforced plastic open caisson modularization pump station comprises glass reinforced plastic pump room wells which are communicated with a glass reinforced plastic distribution well through distribution pipes, and the glass reinforced plastic pump room wells are communicated with a glass reinforced plastic grille well through a water inlet pipe; the bottoms of the glass reinforced plastic pump room wells are provided with draining pumps, and the draining pumps are connected with water outlet pressure pipes. The construction method of the glass reinforced plastic open caisson modularization pump station comprises the steps that glass reinforced plastic shafts from industrialized production are assembled into a well body at the construction site, the well body is sunk to the design elevation by adopting a drop shaft sinking method, and after bottom sealing by concrete is completed at the bottom of the well body, a lass reinforced plastic bottom plate is installed; after bottom sealing is completed, other equipment, pipelines and a well lid are installed, and therefore construction of a single small glass reinforced plastic pump room well pump station is completed; then the multiple glass reinforced plastic pump room wells are connected to the glass reinforced plastic distribution well through the distribution pipes as needed and connected with the glass reinforced plastic grille well through the water inlet pipe, and then the pump station with the larger scale is formed.
