  • Publication number: 20230247806
    Abstract: An electrical device according to the present disclosure includes a heat generator, a heat dissipator, a thermal conductive sheet, and a thermal conductive fluid. The heat generator has a first surface. The heat dissipator has a second surface that faces the first surface. The thermal conductive sheet and the thermal conductive fluid are both interposed between the first surface and the second surface. The first surface and the second surface face each other in their respective counter regions. Each of the counter regions includes a first region and a second region when viewed in a direction in which the first and second surfaces face each other. The first region holds the thermal conductive fluid but does not receive the thermal conductive sheet. The second region is adjacent to the first region and receives the thermal conductive sheet.

  • Patent number: 7526441
    Abstract: A parts list system used for part number management is composed of a parts table database and a parts list controller. The parts table database includes a parts list which stores a state data and a part number data. The state data indicates a progress state of a part. And the part number data includes a number of the part as an identifier. The parts list controller inhibits change of the part number data, when the state data indicates prohibition of the change of the part number data.
