TL;DR: In this paper, the female element is a miniature tube that has resilient prongs that grip the corresponding terminals with varying force during insertion and deletion, and the tube is of resilient conductive material that has been sliced or helically partitioned into opposing prongs forming slots of a width that increases with axial distance from the end of the tube.
Abstract: A socket assembly for connecting an array of bulbous terminals such as balls wherein the female element is a miniature tube that has resilient prongs that grip the corresponding terminals with varying force during insertion and deletion. The tube is of resilient conductive material that has been sliced or helically partitioned into opposing prongs forming slots of a width that increases with axial distance from the end of the tube so as to allow the prongs of the connector to grip around the ball-like bulbous terminal and mechanically retain the terminal within the connector. The tubular element of the connector may be made by forming prongs in one or both ends of a tube by cuts of a width that increases with distance from the end of the tube.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Light Emitting Diode (LED) tube socket, an adaptor and an assembly thereof, which includes tow sockets capping either end of a LED tube, is presented.
Abstract: A Light Emitting Diode (LED) tube socket, an adaptor and an assembly thereof, which includes tow sockets capping either end of a LED tube. Each of the sockets has a socket main body, a pair of conductive terminals and a first threaded portion. The pair of the conductive terminals is disposed in the socket main body and electrically connecting a first LED assembly within the socket main body. The socket connects the adaptor via the threaded portions and the seal is watertight. Two or more LED tubes are connected thereby to satisfy a required length.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pop-up traffic control device (10) is raised above or withdrawn below the pavement surface through a bore in the cover (18), and a lead screw (16), rotated by power source (30), raises a traffic marker tube (12) by a follower tube socket (14) attached to the lead screw.
Abstract: A pop-up traffic control device (10) is raised above or withdrawn below the pavement surface through a bore in the cover (18). A lead screw (16), rotated by power source (30), raises a traffic marker tube (12) by a follower tube socket (14) attached to the lead screw (16). The follower tube socket (14) rotates on the lead screw (16) to either raise or retract the traffic marker tube (12) above or below the roadway. The interior of the traffic control device is sealed from external foreign matter by a liner tube (48) in the cover bore surrounding the traffic marker tube (12). The traffic marker tube (12) is easily replaceable. Additional features include: a slope adjustment mechanism, a heating unit (74), a lead screw lubrication/cleaning arrangement (80, 82), lighting units (84) for the traffic marker tube (12), a watertight coupling (90, 92), a variable-speed arrangement for the lead screw rotation, and a marker tube status signal unit.

TL;DR: In this paper, a utility model discloses an air purifier used for families, conference rooms, hospitals and even in vehicles, which makes use of ultraviolet rays to sterilize and comprises an ultraviolet lamp tube (11) and a lamp tube socket (12).
Abstract: The utility model discloses an air purifier used for families, conference rooms, hospitals and even in vehicles, which makes use of ultraviolet rays to sterilize, and comprises an ultraviolet lamp tube (11) and a lamp tube socket (12). The outer side of the ultraviolet lamp tube (11) is covered with a box body (2) in which a supporting frame (10) supporting a motor (9) with an exhaust fan (6) is arranged, an air inlet (18) and an air outlet (1) are arranged on the box body (2), a light screen (13) with a larger area than that of the air inlet (18) is arranged between the air inlet (18) and the ultraviolet lamp tube (11), and a light screen (5) with a larger area than that of the air outlet (1) is arranged between the air outlet (1) and the ultraviolet lamp tube (11). The utility model can avoid the ultraviolet rays damaging the human bodies and the living bodies of surrounding environment as well as effectively kill the bacteria of air.
