Abstract: In an air blower, an exhaust includes fins and extends in a first direction that is a radial component of an impeller. Assuming that a first virtual circle is a circle connecting ends on a side opposed to the impeller in a fin group in a first direction, and that a second virtual circle is a circle larger than a virtual circle connecting radially outer edges of blades of the impeller with a central axis as a center in diameter and is connected to the first virtual circle at one point, a radius of the first virtual circle is larger than a radius of the second virtual circle.

Abstract: In an air blower, an exhaust extends in a first direction that is a radial component of an impeller, and includes fins. Assuming that a distance from a line segment extending from a central axis in the first direction to an array of the fins upstream of an airflow caused by rotation of the impeller is a first predetermined distance, at least a portion of the fins are disposed in a first region upstream from the first predetermined distance and in a second region downstream from the first predetermined distance. The distance between the fins in the first region is shorter than the distance between the fins in the second region.

In at least a portion of the heat pipe which extends between a portion of the heat pipe which is in thermal contact with the fan contact portion and a portion of the heat pipe which is in thermal contact with the heat source contact portion, a difference between a maximum axial height of the heat pipe and a minimum axial height of a portion of the heat pipe where the recessed portion is defined is smaller than a wall thickness of the recessed portion.

Abstract: Data reception via an appropriate route is realized on an information processing apparatus that can receive data from a communication apparatus via one of a plurality of different routes, and in a control method therefor. If a first device has been discovered on a first network, data is received from the first device on the first network. If the data received from the first device on the first network is to be transferred from a second device existing on a second network, the data is uploaded onto the second device. At this time, whether or not data received by the first reception unit is to be transferred from the second device is determined in accordance with a setting at the time of the discovery of the first device.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus, method, and computer-readable medium shorten the response time of an electronic apparatus such as an electronic camera capable of communicating with an information processing apparatus such as a computer, and improve the usability of the information processing apparatus when the information processing apparatus requests data stored in the storage medium of the electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus, which has a main storage device and an auxiliary storage device, is connected to an external apparatus, and can transmit/receive data to/from the external apparatus. Data to be requested by the external apparatus is loaded in advance from the auxiliary storage device to the main storage device before the external apparatus requests the data after connection to the external apparatus is established.
