Abstract: According to one embodiment, a supporting device configured to support an external electronic apparatus including a display screen and a first connector, the supporting device including: a first supporter supporting a side of the electronic apparatus; a second supporter supporting a rear of the electronic apparatus; a third supporter joined to the second supporter, at least a part of the third supporter extending in a direction slanted with respect to the second supporter; a fourth supporter arranged inside of an angle between the second supporter and the third supporter, at least a part of the fourth supporter extending in a direction slanted with respect to each of the second and third supporters; and an interface exposed from the fourth supporter and capable of receiving data from outside or outputting data to outside, wherein the supporting device is capable of transmitting power or a magnetic flux to the external electronic apparatus.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a television comprises a first panel, a second panel, and a cover. The first panel comprises a display surface. The second panel is laid over the first panel to cover the display surface. The cover comprises a receiver. A holding member is fixed to the edge of the second panel. The holding member comprises a protrusion protruding to the periphery of the second panel. The protrusion is butted against the receiver of the cover so that the second panel is tilted in a posture that slants the protrusion relative to the first panel. The second panel is rotated toward the first panel on the end of the protrusion butted against the receiver. As a result of this rotation, the second panel is stacked on the first panel to cover the display surface.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a housing and a stylus guide provided in the housing. The stylus guide allows the insertion of a stylus, and has a plurality of convex portions. The convex portions are configured to come into slidable contact with the stylus at positions spaced apart from each other in the axial direction of the stylus.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a housing having an outer wall, a pointing device having a flat input surface, and an operation-area indicating sheet. The pointing device is contained in the housing such that the input surface is placed on the inner surface of the outer wall of the housing. The operation-area indicating sheet is removably provided on the outer surface of the outer wall of the housing at a position corresponding to at least part of the input surface of the pointing device.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus comprises a main body operable in a first state and a second state, a power switch which is disposed in the main body and at least a part of which is made of a light transmissive member, a light emission unit disposed in the main body to emit a light of a first color or a second color through the light transmissive member, and a control unit for controlling the light emission unit to emit a light of the first color when an operation state of the main body is the first state, and to emit a light of the second color when the operation state of the main body is the second state.

Abstract: A battery charge circuit using a constant voltage/constant current to power charge a plurality of battery packs, a current detection circuit to detect a charge current according to a predetermined value, and control mechanisms to maintain a constant voltage charge mode when the charge current value drops below a set value within the battery pack.

Abstract: In a battery-driven portable computer, a battery pack is constituted by m battery sets connected in series each including n lithium-ion secondary battery cells connected in parallel. A voltage monitor for monitoring the voltage of the terminal electrode of each battery set and a charger for independently appropriately charging each battery set in accordance with a monitor result are arranged, thereby realizing battery driving by a lithium-ion secondary battery pack having a large capacity. A computer system monitors the voltages of the battery cells which are part of a secondary battery by comparing the battery voltages with a predetermined voltage value in order to detect overdischarge (undervoltage) or overcharge (overvoltage), outputs this information outside of the battery pack, and terminates processing prior to a circuit disconnect.

Abstract: A vibration isolating apparatus includes a first mounting member; a second mounting member having a through hole; an elastic body provided to be elastically deformable and mounted in such a manner as to be interposed between the first mounting member and the second mounting member; a liquid chamber of which at least a portion of a partition wall is formed of the elastic body and the second mounting member and which is filled with a liquid; and an elastic membrane provided to be elastically deformable and fixed to a portion of the second mounting member forming the partition wall of the liquid chamber so as to cover the through hole. Accordingly, even when vibration of a high frequency which cannot be damped by the elastic body and a liquid is transmitted from the side of a vibration-generating portion, the elastic membrane elastically deforms and the dynamic spring constant becomes low. As a result, vibration is not easily transmitted to the side of a vibration-receiving portion.

Abstract: A system comprises a rechargeable battery charged with a constant voltage and a charger. The battery includes a storage unit storing identification data and control voltage data and the charger is assigned identification data. The charger reads the identification data from the storage unit and charges the battery in accordance with the control voltage data, if the stored identification data coincides with the assigned charger identification data. If the stored identification data does not coincide with the assigned charger identification data, the charger gradually increases a charge voltage while detecting overvoltage of the battery, calculates a control voltage of the charger, and charges the battery in accordance with the calculated control voltage.

Abstract: A system comprises a rechargeable battery charged with a constant voltage and a charger. The battery includes a storage unit storing charge voltage data. The charger reads the charge voltage data from the storage unit and charges the battery in accordance with the read charge voltage data. In one aspect, the charger is assigned identification data to identify the charger and charge the battery. In another aspect, a charge controller includes a full-charge detecting means for detecting that the battery is fully charged based upon current measured from the battery.
