Abstract: In the electronic device, an inlet 10 is provided on a front face 1c of a first housing 1. Thus, it is possible to reduce the possibility of the inlet 10 being blocked by objects. That is, when a user uses a notebook computer in a normal position, his body opposes the front face 1c in many cases. Thus, when the inlet is provided on the front face 1c, the inlet is less likely to be blocked than when it is provided on any other face of the first housing 1. For this reason, the cooling efficiency within the first housing 1 does not drop.

Abstract: Since a connector device 30 has a cover component 60 mounted thereto, and the cover component 60 includes a first restraining section 62a and a second restraining section 62b, displacements of a first holding component 33 and a second holding component 34 can be restrained. Therefore, even if the connector device 30 is subjected to impact or shaking from the outside, the first holding component 33 and the second holding component 34 are not disengaged from a memory module 20, and easy detachment of the memory module 20 from a first connector body 31 can be prevented. Further, the memory module 20 projects from an opening of a casing when the connector device 30 having the structure as described above is mounted to an electronic device. Therefore, addition or exchange of the memory module 20 is facilitated.

Abstract: A process for producing a fiber reinforced resin which comprises placing at least a reinforcing fiber substrate in a cavity of a mold, injecting a resin into the cavity, and curing the resin, characterized in that a substrate for forming a skin layer, and a resin distribution medium, which is located between the substrate for forming the skin layer and the reinforcing fiber substrate and in which the ratio of the coefficient of impregnation thereof to that of the substrate for forming the skin layer is 1.5-10, are disposed on at least one surface of the reinforcing fiber substrate via an interlayer having a cover factor of 90%-100% and comprising at least one woven fabric. The process diminishes pinhole generation in the skin layer in RTM, and can reduce the necessity of a repair step in, e.g., a painting step as a later step, thereby improving productivity.

Abstract: An operation unit has an operation surface for accepting an input operation. In a plan view, the operation surface has a rectangular contour including a plurality of sides and a plurality of corner portions. When each point at which extensions of adjacent two of the plural sides cross each other is defined as a virtual intersection, and when an intersection at which respective diagonals linking the virtual intersections cross each other is defined as a virtual center, the contour of the corner portion crosses the diagonal that passes through the virtual intersection and the virtual center, at a point between the virtual intersection in the vicinity of the corner portion and the virtual center. The corner portions is a specific corner portion having an intersection with the diagonal at a position closer to the virtual center than the adjacent two corner portions.

Abstract: The present invention improves the operability when opening and closing a cover. Since the cover is curved such that the front face is in a concave form, when opening a memory slot, part of the cover is lifted from a first casing by simply removing a screw from the first casing and the cover. The cover can be detached from the first casing by holding the lifted portion of the cover, and, thus, the memory slot can be opened easily without using the weight of the cover. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the operability when attaching a memory module to the memory slot or when detaching a memory module from the memory slot.
