  • Patent number: 6449149
    Abstract: An electronic equipment includes a first casing on which are mounted a keyboard and a wiring board and a second casing which is rotatably mounted on the first casing by means of a hinge. The cooling structure of the electronic equipment includes one or more elements that is the subject of cooling arranged within the first casing, a first heat-discharging member thermally connected with this element and the first casing, a second heat-discharging member that is arranged in the interior of the second casing, and connection means for thermally connecting the first heat-discharging element and the second heat-discharging element.

  • Publication number: 20020105781
    Abstract: There is disclosed an electronic apparatus having a water-cooling structure suited for a compact, thin design in which structure is brought about a liquid-circulating flow rate necessary and sufficient for an increased amount of heat occurring in a heat-generating element due to an improved processing performance of the electronic apparatus. In the electronic apparatus, a water-cooling jacket 8 is thermally connected to a heat-generating element 7, a heat-dissipating pipe 9 being thermally connected to a heat-dissipating metal sheet 9 provided at a rear panel of a display case 2, a cooling medium liquid being circulated between the water-cooling jacket 8 and the heat-dissipating pipe 9 by a liquid-moving device 11. The necessary and sufficient circulating flow rate and the necessary discharge pressure are determined by the relation between the upper limit temperature of the heat-generating element 7 and the limit amount of heat dissipation from the surface of the housing.

  • Patent number: 4730474
    Abstract: A method of relieving residual stress in a metal pipe comprises the steps of applying, by using a pressure medium, a low pressure to an interior of the metal pipe placed in dies, and applying, while preventing the buckling, an axial compression load to the pipe so as to effect a uniform plastic deformation of the entire metal pipe while maintaining the desired shape of the pipe, thereby relieving the residual stress in the metal pipe.
