Abstract: A conferencing system configured to make it easy to switch video data to be displayed on a shared display device. Multiple client devices are connected to a switching device directly or via a network. The output of the switching device is connected to a shared display device. Each client device outputs, to the switching device, video data used for a presentation. The switching device registers, in a queue, the order of displaying received video data on the shared display device. The registered order can be the order of receiving video data at the switching device. The content of the queue and the allocated time of each presenter can be displayed on the shared display device. The switching device switches video data to be displayed on the shared display device at a predetermined timing according to the order of the queue.

Abstract: An apparatus for transferring objects between multiple display units includes a processor of an information handling device and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to detect a screen object and/or a pointing input mechanism selecting the screen object being moved to a predetermined region of a first display unit and, in response to the detection, display at least part of the screen object on a second display unit.

Abstract: A user detection apparatus includes a processor for an information handling device and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to detect a user in a user space that is proximate to the information handling device in response to an airflow being detected in the user space and, in response to detecting the user, resume or begin operations in the information handling device.

Abstract: A portable computing device prevents a magnetic disk unit protecting function from impairing usability for a user when the processor is used as a tablet PC. The portable computing device includes a magnetic disk unit, a magnetic disk unit protecting section operable when predicting an occurrence of an impact to carry out a magnetic disk unit protecting function for retracting a head of the magnetic disk unit, and a detecting section that detects whether a user is holding the portable computing device or not, and responsive to detecting that the user is holding the portable computing device, temporarily deactivating the magnetic disk unit protecting function.

Abstract: A wireless terminal accesses an access point using a shorter range wireless communication method. The access point performs communication with a wide-area radio communication network using a longer range wireless communication method, and may include a determination unit that determines whether a connected access point is a mobile access point or not; an acquisition unit that, when the determination unit determines that the connected access point is a mobile access point, acquires a radio-wave condition of communication with the wide-area radio communication network using the longer range communication method from the connected access point; and a display unit that displays the radio-wave condition acquired by the acquisition unit on a screen.

Abstract: A power state controlling method is provided that balances quick resumption with reduction of power consumption. An upper limit value Pih and a lower limit value Pil of a power idle state are set for the magnitude of power consumption of a system. The power consumption of the system in a power-on state is calculated. The system changes over to a suspended state when a predetermined time elapses after the system changes over to the power idle state with the lowering of the power consumption.

Abstract: An intake-side space around intake ports and an exhaust-side lower space around exhaust ports are provided in a main cooling jacket portion. These spaces are connected to each other. In a sub cooling jacket portion, an exhaust-side upper space is provided at a level above the exhaust-side lower space. The main cooling jacket portion and the sub cooling jacket portion are connected to each other via a cylindrical-hole connecting passage extending vertically and separate from each other vertically via a wall portion in another area than the connecting passage. Accordingly, a cooling device of an engine which can restrain the exhaust gas from being cooled too much improperly is provided.
