Patent number: 9575513Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing, a third housing and a first movable member. The first housing includes a first opening through which the electronic device is capable of being coupled to an external coupling apparatus. The second housing is rotatably connected to the first housing. The third housing is removably attached to the second housing. The first movable member is across the first housing and the second housing, movable between a first position at which the third housing is locked to the second housing and a second position at which the third housing is capable of being unlocked from the second housing, and is configured to be restricted from moving from the first position to the second position when the electronic device is coupled through the first opening.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2015Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Hisaya Nishioka, Masataka Tokoro

Publication number: 20070146924Abstract: According to one embodiment, a portable electronic apparatus contains a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD includes a head used to read/write data from/to a recording medium. An acceleration detection circuit detects acceleration undergone by the portable electronic apparatus, and controls the HDD to retract the head from above the recording medium, based on the detected acceleration. A CPU estimates whether the head is retracted from above the recording medium, based on a power mode set for an interface incorporated in the HDD. A controller sets the acceleration detection circuit in a power saving mode when it is estimated that the head is retracted.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2006Publication date: June 28, 2007Inventor: Hisaya Nishioka
