According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes: a main body; a second connector; and a second engage portion. The main body includes a component container housing a component. The second connector is provided to the main body so as to face the component container, and is configured to be attached to a first connector provided at one end of the component. The second engage portion is provided to the main body, and is configured to be engaged with a first engage portion provided at other end of the component.

Electronic device and component

According to one embodiment, a lighting unit incorporated in the housing of a note PC includes a lens unit provided with a plurality of light guiding lenses formed of a transparent resin, and a plurality of couplers coupling the light guiding lenses. A plurality of light shielding plates project from the inner surface of the housing between the light guiding lenses. Each light shielding plate has an upper edge at a level higher than the light input surfaces of the light guiding lenses.

Electronic device

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a housing, a circuit board in the housing, a module, a holder, and a buffer. The housing includes a wall. The circuit board includes a first connector. The module includes a second connector configured to engage with the first connector. The holder holds the module. The buffer is configured to be interposed between the wall and the holder such that a gap remains between the first connector and the second connector in a range in which the first connector is electrically connected to the second connector.

Electronic apparatus including at least two electrically-connectable connectors

According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a housing which has a shielding layer on its inner surface and is provided with an opening, a housed component which is contained inside the housing, and a module which is provided at the exterior of the housing, and has a first conducting section that is electrically connected to the housed component and a second conducting section that is different from the first conducting section. The electronic device includes a connection portion, and the connection portion has a contact portion and an elastic support portion which is extended to a part near the opening and supports the contact portion. The contact portion equalizes the potential of the shielding layer with the potential of the second conducting section by electrically connecting to the shielding layer by the opening, and contacting the second conducting section.

According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a housing, an outer wall, a rib, a cable, and a stopper. The housing houses at least part of an electronic component. The outer wall constitutes at least part of an outer contour of the housing. The rib is located between the outer wall and the electronic component, and the outer surface of the rib faces the inner surface of the outer wall. The cable is routed between the outer wall and the rib. The stopper is housed in the housing, and engages the rib to prevent the rib from inclining toward the outer wall.

According to one embodiment, a USB port for connecting a note PC to an external device includes a rib structure that faces an opening formed in a side wall of the housing of the note PC and receives a gasket. The rib structure includes a frame member surrounding the gasket, and a plurality of ribs. The frame member has a cutout formed in a portion thereof remote from the side wall. When the gasket is pressed and elastically deformed by the receptacle of a connector, the deformed portion of the gasket escapes through the cutout.

According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a casing including a cover, an input portion provided on the cover and configured to receive an external input, a circuit board contained in the casing and including a switch configured to be operated by the input portion, a support member configured to permit the circuit board to be supported by the cover, and an engagement portion integral with the support member and configured to hold the circuit board in cooperation with the support member.

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a casing, an attachment portion, a first projecting portion, a second projecting portion and a conductive member. The casing has an outer wall, an inner surface of which is provided with a first conductive layer. The attachment portion is provided on the inner surface of the outer wall, provided with an opening which is open to an outside of the outer wall and includes a bridging portion bridging the opening. The first projecting portion projects from the attachment portion in a position apart from the opening. The second projecting portion, projecting from the attachment portion, is located between the opening and the first projecting portion and provided with a second conductive layer electrically connected to the first conductive layer. The conductive member is attached to the attachment portion, and has a first portion elastically brought into contact with the second conductive layer.

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a housing, a pad button section and a switch board. The housing includes a cover member including an opening part. One of a first switch board on which a fingerprint authentication unit is mounted, and a second switch board on which no fingerprint authentication units are mounted is selectively adopted as the switch board. One of a first pad button section including a fingerprint authentication cover between buttons, and a second pad button section in which a pair of buttons are adjacent to each other is selectively adopted as the pad button section. The cover member is identical in shape between a case where the first pad button section is adopted and a case where the second pad button section is adopted.

A portable computer includes a speaker device and a first casing. The speaker device includes a speaker main body and a speaker housing for housing the speaker main body. The first casing has a bottom wall. The bottom wall has swelling portion which swells outward and contains at least part of the speaker housing.

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus is provided with a first case including a peripheral wall, a display device contained in the first case and including four side faces, a second case, a hinge shaft which swingably supports the first case on the second case, and a bracket which is connected to the hinge shaft and extends in the first case. The bracket includes a holding portion, which extends along one of the side faces of the display device and is fixed to the display device, and a fixing portion fixed to a peripheral portion of the first case situated off regions defined between the four side faces of the display device and those wall portions of the peripheral wall which face the side faces, individually.

A wave activated power generation device includes a cylindrical floating body anchored on water and extending vertically to a water surface, a ballast provided at a lower end portion of the floating body, and a power generating equipment provided at an upper end portion of the floating body. The floating body includes a buoyancy control chamber allowing the floating body to vertically float in the water and adjusting a position of the floating body relative to the water surface to a predetermined height in accordance with a relation between buoyancy of the floating body and weight of the ballast, and an air chamber formed between the buoyancy control chamber and the power generating equipment. The power generating equipment includes an air turbine provided above the air chamber and driven by air flow generated between an inside and outside of the air chamber by vertical motion of the water surface, and a generator rotationally driven by the air turbine.
