In a plug terminal ( 1 ), a first plug elastic portion ( 13 ) connects a plug substrate connection portion ( 11 ) connected to a first substrate and a plug contact portion ( 12 ) that contacts a contact of a receptacle terminal. The first plug elastic portion ( 13 ) includes a first plug spring portion ( 30 ), a second plug spring portion ( 31 ), and a first coupling portion ( 32 ). The first plug spring portion ( 30 ) is provided along a first plug side surface (S 11 ) being a part of side surfaces of a virtual first solid (C 1 ) having, as a plane surface, a plug plane figure (B 11 ) containing the plug contact portion ( 12 ) when viewed from an introduction-extraction direction, and is deformable with respect to the first plug side surface (S 11 ). The second spring portion ( 31 ) is provided along a second plug side surface (S 12 ) being a part of the side surfaces of the first solid (C 1 ) and having a different normal direction from the first plug side surface (S 11 ), and is deformable with respect to the second plug side surface (S 12 ). The first coupling portion ( 32 ) couples the first plug spring portion ( 30 ) to the second plug spring portion ( 31 ).

A mouth cavity attachment tool ( 1 A) is attachable to a mouth cavity (M) of a person (P) under examination. The mouth cavity attachment tool ( 1 A) includes a partitioning portion ( 10 A) and a gap forming portion ( 11 A). The partitioning portion ( 10 A) partitions a mouth cavity (M) into a first portion (M 1 ) where objects of measurement of halitosis are located and a second portion (M 2 ) communicating with a pharynx ( 6 ) of the person (P) under examination. The gap forming portion ( 11 A) is connected to the partitioning portion ( 10 A) and forms gaps (G) in spaces to the objects of measurement. Since the mouth cavity attachment tool ( 1 A) includes the partitioning portion ( 10 A) partitioning the mouth cavity (M) into a first portion (M 1 ) where tooth rows ( 2 ) and gums ( 3 ) are located and a second portion (M 2 ) communicating with the pharynx ( 6 ) of the person (P) under examination, halitosis can be detected accurately.

A connection jig includes a sensor provided with a passive part and a fixation part that are respectively arranged at one end and another end in a direction of a rotation axis thereof and detecting a force around the rotation axis with respect to the passive part, a first joining part joining the passive part and a holding part, a second joining part joining the fixation part and a automated transportation part, a third joining part joined to the first joining part and supported by the second joining part to be rotatable around the rotation axis, and a bearing part provided between and attached to the first joining part and the third joining part and arranged at a position where a rotation axis thereof is coaxial with the rotation axis of the sensor.

A connector system ( 1 ) includes a connector ( 10 ) that detachably mates with a mating connector ( 20 ) mounted on an external circuit board ( 30 ), and an abutting member ( 40 ) fixed to the external circuit board ( 30 ). The connector ( 10 ) includes a circuit board ( 200 ) that connects to an external device via a signal line ( 300 ); an electrically conductive first shell ( 110 ) through which a terminal portion ( 201 ) of the circuit board ( 200 ) is inserted and that is electrically connected to the external circuit board ( 30 ) via the mating connector ( 20 ); and an electrically conductive second shell ( 120 ) that covers at least a portion of a target region that is a region, of one main surface ( 205 ) of the circuit board ( 200 ), other than the terminal portion ( 201 ). The abutting member ( 40 ) presses at least a portion of the connector ( 10 ) toward the external circuit board ( 30 ).

An odor detection device ( 1 ) includes an odor sensor ( 10 ), environmental information measurement means ( 11, 12 ), odor information collection means ( 20 ), difference information acquisition means ( 21 ), and correction means ( 22 ). The odor sensor ( 10 ) detects information on an odor emitted from an odor source ( 2 ). The environmental information measurement means ( 11, 12 ) measures information on an environment, correlated with the amount of water vapor contained in surrounding gas. The difference information acquisition means ( 21 ) acquires the difference amount of water vapor, indicating a difference between information on an environment surrounding the odor sensor ( 10 ) and information on an environment surrounding the odor source ( 2 ). The correction means ( 22 ) corrects information on an odor, collected by the odor information collection means ( 20 ), on the basis of difference information acquired by the difference information acquisition means ( 21 ).
