The storage device unit includes: a substrate having a main surface and having a plurality of wiring layers stacked together; and a storage device that has a plate shape having a first surface and is disposed on the substrate, the first surface facing the main surface. The plurality of wiring layers includes a heat-generating layer having a heat-generating circuit.

Storage device unit

An electronic apparatus includes a first chamber in which a heat generator is arranged and a second chamber separated with a partition from the first chamber. The electronic apparatus is provided with a first cabinet having the partition and an isolation wall that encloses to seal the first chamber, a second cabinet enclosing the second chamber and having an intake port and an exhaust port, a thermoconductive member arranged in the first chamber and connected thermally to the heat generator and to the partition, a heat collecting-radiating member arranged in the second chamber and connected thermally to the partition, and an air blower arranged in the second chamber so as to circulate the air in the second chamber.

Mobile computing device

Provided is an electronic device that is user-friendly in both hand-held use and table-placed use, and furthermore is highly reliable with respect to external impact. The electronic device includes a main body part and a support member. The support member connected by the connection part are attached to a pivot shaft that is disposed on the rear surface side of the main body part, such that the support member can pivot from a position at which the connection part protrudes outward beyond an outer edge of the main body part in a plan view from the front surface side of the main body part. At least a portion of the support member is at the same position as or a position more rearward than the portion of the main body part that protrudes the most rearward.

Electronic apparatus

A casing, a lid componentfor covering a terminaldisposed in an opening of the casing, and a water sealing componentdisposed around the terminal, are provided. The lid componentis structured such that a support portionof a fixing portionis rotatably fixed to the casing, and a slidable portionslides relative to a lid portion. Thus, a projectionis engaged with a recess, and a pair of engagement portionsengages with a pair of fixed projections. Thus, the lid componentengages with the casingin three directions, and is held by being pressed against the water sealing component. With this structure, an electronic device having a lid component which can be assuredly locked is obtained.

Electronic device

A holding device includes a plurality of holding sections each including a recess or an opening through which a hand of a user can be inserted; and a connection section connecting the plurality of holding sections to each other. When the holding device is fixed to two surfaces of an electronic device which are adjacent to each other, a handle that can be held by the user with a hand and a grip belt that can be supported by the user with the hand can be connected to each other via the connection section. Thus, the number of parts can be reduced and management of parts is easy.

Holding device and electronic device including the same

A casing, a terminal platethat is exchangeably mountable in an openingformed in the casing; and a water sealing componentdisposed around a terminalformed on the terminal plate, are provided. A flangeis formed inside the openingso as to surround a center of the opening and project toward the center of the opening. When the terminal plateis mounted on the flange, an outer side surface of the terminal plateis flush with a surfaceof the casing in a portion where the opening is formed. With this structure, an electronic device can be obtained that is reliably waterproof and/or dustproof in a connection terminal portion that is exchangeable so as to enhance an expandability.

A main device includes fixing portions that fix a holding device to one principal surface thereof and project from the one principal surface. An extension device includes a placement portion on which the main device is placed and a wall portion on which the placement portion is provided in a standing manner. The wall portion that faces the one principal surface, to which the holding device is fixed, in a parallel relation, has such a shape as to not interfere with the fixing portions that fix the holding device of the main device, when the main device is placed on the placement portion. The main device can be mounted on the extension device with the holding device mounted thereon, and time and effort to remove the holding device can be saved when the main device is mounted on the extension device.

Electronic apparatus provided with cooling structure

A blower includes a fan, an inlet through which air is drawn into the fan, and an outlet through which an air flow from the fan is exhausted. The inlet and the outlet have slits with a specific width or an array of through holes with a specific diameter. The relationship A &#x3c;C, A &#x3c;B is satisfied, where A represents the width of the slits or the diameter of the through holes of the inlet, B represents a minimum particle size of dust that would compromise the dust-proof performance of the fan, and C represents the width of the slits or the diameter of the through holes of the outlet. The blowing performance can be improved within the range of dust-proof performance in which damage or functional degradation can be avoided.

Blower and electric apparatus including the same

An electronic apparatus includes the following: a heat dissipation chamber that is formed by liquid tightly separating the inside of a main unit case with a partition, has an inlet air vent and an outlet air vent in the partition, and includes a heat dissipation portion; a cooling fan that is located in the heat dissipation chamber; an inlet that is provided in the main unit case to introduce outside air into the heat dissipation chamber through the inlet air vent; and an outlet that is provided in the main unit case to exhaust an air flow sent from the cooling fan to the outside through the outlet air vent. An air channel that extends from the inlet air vent through a side wall of the main unit case to communicate the heat dissipation chamber with the inlet is liquid tightly sealed from the internal space of the main unit case with a sealing wall. A plurality of plate-shaped ribs are provided in the air channel so as to extend in a flow path direction and arranged in a lateral direction of the inlet air vent. The rigidity of the main unit case can be ensured sufficiently while maintaining the liquid tightness between the inside of the main unit case and the heat dissipation chamber.

An impact buffer having a high buffering effect includes two or more impact buffering members with different hardness, contacted with at least one surface of a side surface part of an HDD unit positioned orthogonally to the rotation surface of a magnetic disk of the HDD unit, supports the HDD unit, buffers an impact applied to the HDD unit by expansion and contraction, further moderates the rotation of the HDD unit in the direction causing a head arm to move onto the disk at rest, prevents the head detachment, and can overcome the weaknesses of the head arm and an inertial latch structure.
