An information providing method includes: measuring a static object three-dimensionally in an environment, by a processor; sequentially measuring a position of a dynamic object in the environment, by the processor; transmitting measurement data of the static object measured to a predetermined information processing apparatus through a communication network; transmitting measurement data of the dynamic object measured to the information processing apparatus through a communication network; receiving support data rem the information processing apparatus based on an environment grasping image that is generated from the measurement data, of the static object and the measurement data of the dynamic object by the information processing apparatus; and presenting the received support data to the environment at predetermined timing, by the processor.

Information providing method, information providing apparatus, information processing apparatus, information providing system, and computer-readable recording medium

An information reading system includes a passive-type IC tag that identifies a device installed on side of an environment, a tag reader that reads identification information of the passive-type IC tag, a sensor unit that detects a touch operation performed with respect to the passive-type IC tag, and a reading control unit that, when the sensor unit detects a touch operation, activates the tag reader and controls timing of reading the passive-type IC tag.

A shock absorber includes a shock absorbing member being to be rotated around an axis and having an outer circumferential surface being in contact with an end portion of a member that moves back and forth with respect to the shock absorbing member, the shock absorbing member having at least one of elasticity and viscosity against an movement of the member, each of the elasticity and viscosity changing in accordance with a rotation angle of the shock absorbing member around the axis, and a device that changes the rotation angle of the shock absorbing member to adjust at least one of the elasticity and the viscosity against the member.

A first swinging member is connected to a rack mount unit for swinging movement around a first horizontal axis. A second swinging member is connected to a rack for swinging movement around a second horizontal axis. The second swinging member is coupled to the first swinging member around a third horizontal axis extending in parallel with the first horizontal axis. The rack mount unit is pulled out forward from the rack along a horizontal plane. The first horizontal axis follows the forward movement of the rack mount unit. The second horizontal axis is prevented from moving, since the second horizontal axis is connected to the rack. The first and second swinging members expand around the third horizontal axis. The holding members of the first and second swinging members hold a wire on the first and second swinging members. The wire is thus prevented from tangling.

Electronic apparatus and in-rack electronic apparatus

An ejector that attaches a unit to and ejects the unit from an electronic apparatus, the unit including a unit body and a case that covers the unit body includes a lever that is attached foldably and unfoldably to the case, a force being applicable to the lever to attach the unit to and eject the unit from the electronic apparatus, and an engagement member that is movable along a surface of the case between a lock position at which the engagement member is engaged with is engaged with the lever folded onto the case and locks the lever at a folding position, and an unlock position at which the engagement member unlocks the lever and allows the lever to unfold from the case.

An electronic apparatus that can be ejectably mounted in a rack mount apparatus that includes a first housing and a mechanism adapted to project from the first housing includes a second housing that is fixed onto the mechanism, and mounted in the first housing so that the second housing can be drawn from the first housing; and a provisional fixture member that is attached to the second housing and engageable with the mechanism.

Electronic apparatus, rack mount apparatus and method of mounting the electronic apparatus in the rack mount apparatus

The invention relates to an enclosure structure of electronic equipment such as a rack-mount disk array apparatus, and its object is to increase the number of apparatus units to be mounted and facilitate replacement thereof. The enclosure structure of electronic equipment of the invention having an enclosure mounted in a rack in a withdrawable manner, is arranged such that it comprises a plurality of wiring panel portions that partition the inner space of the enclosure in the fore-and-aft direction, the plurality of wiring panel portion being disposed spanning over the inner surface portions of the enclosure; and a movable frame portion that rotationally moves apparatus units connected to the wiring panel portions together with the wiring panel portions, the movable frame portion providing a support to the apparatus units in such a manner as to be attachable to and detachable from the wiring panel portions.

Enclosure structure of electronic equipment, and disk array apparatus

An ejector includes a block attached rotatably to a unit, the block including first and second compression members, each of which compresses an electronic apparatus so as to release an electric connection between the unit and the electronic apparatus, and an arm rotatable with the block and attached to the unit so that the arm displaces relative to the block, the arm including third and fourth compression members, each of which compresses an electronic apparatus so as to electrically connect the unit and the electronic apparatus to each other, wherein the block and the arm compress the electronic apparatus via different compression members as a displacement state and a rotational direction of the arm change.

A console unit includes a substrate extending along a virtual plane. A support extends rearward from the front end. The substrate is received on the support. A console is connected to the front end of the support for relative rotation around a rotation axis intersecting the virtual plane. The console is allowed to occupy a larger space even if the substrate is reduced in size. The visibility of the console cannot be degraded irrespective of a reduced size of the substrate. Other components may be positioned adjacent the console unit. Replacement of the component is often required without detaching the console. The console is allowed to retreat from the path of movement of the component based on the rotational movement. Interference can reliably be prevented between the console unit and the other component during replacement of the other component.

Console unit and operation button unit

A disk array apparatus includes an enclosure having an opening at its front face, at least one module configured to be mounted in the enclosure and at least one securing mechanism configured to secure the at least one module to the enclosure. The module includes a frame member and a lever member that is movable between a first position received by the frame member in which it serves as a cover of the opening and a second position in which it serves as a grip part for pulling the module out of the enclosure.
