A holding base for removably holding a mobile phone has a first holding position in which the mobile phone is held under own weight, a second holding position in which the mobile phone is held by engaging a portion of the holding base, power supply terminals that are connected to the mobile phone in the first holding position and the second holding position, and signal terminals that are connected to the mobile phone in the second holding position, and at least one of which is separated from the mobile phone in the first holding position.

Holding base and information processing system

An electronic apparatus has a fixed case unit and a movable case unit, and the rotation operability of the movable case unit is improved. The electronic apparatus having the fixed case unit and movable case unit also includes a movable arm, which is fitted openably and closably to the fixed case unit via a hinge. The movable case unit is supported rotatably on the movable arm, and the rotation center of the movable case unit is set at a position near the hinge to be on or near the centerline of the movable case unit.

Electronic apparatus, display control method and recording medium

The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus including a housing unit of which the angle can be varied by a rotation mechanism and is directed to improve the fixation precision of the housing unit that can be fixed at predetermined angles. The apparatus includes a supporting frame unit (movable arm unit), a rotation supporting unit (rotating module) installed on the supporting frame unit, a housing unit (movable housing unit) that is fixed on the rotation supporting unit and can be rotated by the rotation supporting unit, and a rotation locking mechanism that is installed away from the center of rotation of the rotation supporting unit and, when the housing unit is rotated to a predetermined angle, holds the supporting frame unit and the housing unit in a locked state.

The present invention relates to a cable wiring structure of an electronic apparatus that has such a movable unit as an opening/closing unit and a rotary unit. The cable wiring structure is provided to suppress the wearing of a cable to improve the durability of the cable, and to offer other advantages. The cable wiring structure applies to an electronic apparatus having movable units (hinge mechanism, rotation mechanism). The cable according to the structure has an extra length portion, which gives the cable a length necessary for the cable, for example, to pass through the movable units, and which is housed in a cable housing unit. The cable housing unit is formed on the electronic apparatus, where the cable housing unit arranges the extra length portion in a sinuous form and allows a shift in the extra length portion caused by a move of the movable unit.

Electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus includes a shooting device, a housing and a switch ring rotatably engaged with and fixed onto said housing, wherein when said switch ring is rotated, a focal point for photography of said shooting device is manually switched.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a terminal device which is not limited in the degree of freedom in terms of case design and which allows easy visual recognition of light emission for indicating a specific state even when it is carried in a chest pocket. The terminal device comprising: a stationary case (); a movable case () provided on the stationary case () through the intermediation of a hinge () to allow opening and closing; and light emitting device () for indicating a specific state through light emission, in which the light emitting device () is provided at the hinge () side end of the stationary case () or the movable case ().

Terminal device

A fixing device comprises an upper heat roller and a lower heat roller which, by contact rotations of their roller surfaces, thermally fix images on cut sheets passing therebetween. The fixing device further comprises a single oil roller which supplies oil for cut sheet release to the upper and lower heat rollers. When conveying to a process unit a cut sheet B to be back-side printed which has been delivered via a circulation path, a conveyance control unit forms a conveyance spacing L from a precedent cut sheet A which spacing conforms to one turn or more of the lower heat roller, so as to ensure uniform application of oil from the upper heat roller to the lower heat roller during the cut sheet vacant interval.

Disclosed is a liquid detection device wherein a condition in which there is no liquid remaining in either a storage member or a tank and a condition in which there is liquid remaining in at least either the storage member or the tank are easily discriminated using a single mechanism. When there is oil (liquid) remaining in at least either the oil tank or the impregnated member (storage member), light emitted from a light emitting part is passed into the oil through a prism face located partway along the light path, and does not reach a light receiving part. On the other hand, when there is no oil remaining in either the oil tank or the impregnated member, the emitted light reaches the light receiving part. When the oil tank itself is not mounted, the light emitted from the light emitting part also reaches the light receiving part. When the light emitted from the light emitting part is not detected by the light receiving part, a controller determines that there is oil.

Liquid detection device, fusing unit using the same, and electrophotographic apparatus

An image forming apparatus has a plurality of print assemblies for forming a color image, a fixing unit, and a paper conveyor belt for conveying a paper sheet through the print assemblies and the fixing unit. The fixing unit includes a pair of fixing rollers, a nip control mechanism for moving the pair of the fixing rollers between a nip position and a non-nip position, and a fixing unit securing member movable with the nip control mechanism. Thus, the fixing unit can be easily mounted and demounted.
