  • Patent number: 6523882
    Abstract: An outer panel having a first panel portion is opposite to and joined to an inner panel having a second panel portion, whereby a door body having window openings is formed. An opening portion is formed in the first panel portion, positioned below the window opening, or the second panel portion, positioned below the window opening. A module panel, equipped with door-installed components including electrical equipment, is attached to the opening portion to construct the rear gate door for a vehicle. When the module panel is attached to the opening portion, the first connecting portion, attached to the module panel, is electrically connected to the second connecting portion, located the vicinity of the opening portion.

  • Patent number: 6510052
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus comprises a housing for accommodating a heat generating component and a display unit supported by the housing. A heat receiving head thermally connected to the heat generating component is accommodated inside the housing. A heat radiator is disposed in the display unit. A heat receiving head and the heat radiator are connected to each other through a circulating path for circulating cooling medium. The circulating path is provided with an intermediate cooling unit. Before cooling medium heated by heat transfer by the heat receiving head reaches the heat radiator, the intermediate cooling unit forces cooling medium to be cooled.
