Claim 5

In a system according to claim 1 in which the system is an electrical watch.

Claim 6

In a system according to claim 2 in which the first device is a liquid crystal display.

Claim 7

In a system according to claim 1 in which the resistance through the volume where compressed between superimposed contacts is less than 10 ohms and wherein the resistance through the volume which is not directly compressed between superimposed contacts is greater than 105 ohms.

In a system according to claim 1 wherein the resistance between adjacent contacts compressively engaging the sheet is greater than 105 ohms and wherein the resistance between superimposed contacts is less than 10 ohms.

Claim 9

In a system according to claim 1 wherein the sheet is of a thickness of 10 to 30 mils.

Claim 10

In the system of claim 1 in which said sheet connector includes conductive particles which are nickel, said nickel partiles being in the amount of 250 to 450 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the binder material.

Claim 11

In the system of claim 7 in which the thickness X is 10 to 30 mils and the maximum dimension of the nickel particles is 50 to 600 microns provided that the particle size is less than the thickness of the sheet.

Claim 12

In the system of claim 8 in which the resistance through the volume where compressed between superimposed contacts is less than 10 ohms and wherein the resistance through the volume which is not directly compressed is greater than 105 ohms.
