A female terminal for receiving a flat male terminal with a terminal tab (5), having a rectangular cross-section and a predetermined width (B) and thickness (D). The female terminal includes a contact element (1, 101) having two elastic contact tabs (3, 103) approaching each other along a longitudinal axis (2, 102), the contact tabs opposing contact zones (4, 104) for contacting the terminal tab (5); a hollow, rectangular support element (16, 116) defined by four walls (19, 20, 21, 22; 119, 120, 121, 122), enclosing the contact element (1, 101) and in which the elastic contact tabs (3, 103) are accommodated; and a device (13, 113) for electrically connecting a conductor. A first pair of opposing walls (19, 21; 119, 121) cover the contact tabs (3, 103) and a second pair of opposing walls (20, 22; 120, 122) have an elastic locking tab (26, 126) connected thereto. The elastic locking tabs (26, 126) engage between the elastic contact tabs (3, 103) and hold the contact zones (4, 104) of the contact tabs in a pre-tensioned and contact free manner at a distance (A) from each other, which is smaller than the thickness (D) of the terminal tab (5), in a condition in which the flat male terminal is not inserted. The locking tabs (26, 126) have a free distance (C) therebetween before the insertion of the terminal tab (5), which is smaller than the width (B) of the terminal tab (5) and the locking tabs (26, 126) contact the terminal tab (5) in the inserted position along the longitudinal axis (2, 102) in a contact area which is off-set further from the first end (17, 117) of the support element (16, 116) than the contact zones (4, 104) of the contact tabs (3, 103).

In a directional speaker control system for realizing good sound localization by correcting the directivity of a directional speaker, adapted to an audio surround system in which a desired sound is reflected on a wall surface or a sound reflection board so as to produce a virtual speaker, a first directional speaker emits a first sound toward the wall surface or sound reflection board so that the reflected sound reaches a prescribed listening position, and a second directional speaker emits a second sound, which comes to have an inverse phase with respect to an audio element of the first sound reaching the listening position directly, toward the listening position. Thus, it is possible to adequately dampen the audio element (particularly, low-frequency components) emitted directly toward the listening position from the first directional speaker; hence, it is possible to realize good sound localization.

A water supply device for a drying machine and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The water supply device includes a common hose having one end connected to at least one water supply source, a drying machine water supply hose having one end connected to the common hose and the other end connected to a steam generator of the drying machine, and a washing machine water supply hose having one end connected to the common hose and the other end connected to a washing machine. With the provision of the water supply device, the drying machine has the effects of preventing wrinkles, creases, or the like from being generated in an object to be dried, such as clothes, and the like, or eliminating wrinkles, creases, or the like in clothes, and the like.

A bearing (1) comprising a block (10) of flexible material, having two end surfaces (11, 12); and a first fixture element (20) and a second fixture element (30) connected at each of the end surfaces (11, 12); wherein at least one rotational damping device (40) is arranged between the first and second fixture elements (20, 30), the bearing thus providing high dampening between structural parts of a structure, such as buildings, bridges, elevated highways, and mechanical systems (machinery).
