Abstract: The housing of the image display system is given with a rectangular box shape, and contains an optical system for projecting an image on a screen and a control circuit board for controlling the optical system and electrically connected to the first unit one above the other. Therefore, the image display system is compact enough and simply shaped enough for the user to carry it without any inconvenience.

Abstract: An optical disk device includes an optical pick-up module including a rotating portion rotating an optical disk; a carriage mounting at least a light source and being provided movably within the optical pick-up module; and a cover having an opening formed thereon, a light being radiated from the light source through the opening toward the outside of the cover; and a tray supporting the optical pick-up module. The tray includes an optical disk attachment region portion opposed to the optical disk and an outside portion provided on an outside of the optical disk attachment region portion. The outside portion has a ledge along its portion adjacent to the circular perimeter of the optical disk.

Abstract: When the USB power supply (VBUS) of the USB interface is used as the power supply for driving a conventional optical disc apparatus or disc apparatus, the supplied current exceeds the standard of USB.

Abstract: An optical pick-up module includes rotating means, a carriage mounting at least a light source and various optical members and disposed movably, and a cover having a first opening formed thereon, a tray having a second opening and having the optical pick-up module attached thereto in order to expose a part of the optical pick-up module form the second opening, and a housing for holding the tray to freely appear, and a third opening is provided on a part of the optical disk attachment region outside portion of the tray which is opposed to the first opening.

Abstract: A small-sized printer includes a printing section equipped with a shuttle head in which impact-type printing units are arranged in juxtaposition in a sub-scanning direction, a cylindrical cam for reciprocating the shuttle head in the sub-scanning direction, and paper feeding rollers for feeding a standard sheet in a main scanning direction; an input device for inputting information; a display device for displaying information; a RAM for storing information; and a CPU for controlling the printing section, the input section, the display device and the RAM and performing calculation on information. The printing section and the paper feeding rollers are provided in a body case in such a way as to be exposed where they are opposed to a case cover, which has a flat platen and spring members at positions opposed to the printing section, and ribs adapted to come into contact with the standard sheet and serving as a positioning device and as a sliding guide.

Abstract: A printing device including a mounting base on which a ribbon cassette accommodating a ribbon having a transparent terminal end part is removably loaded, light emitting and receiving elements fixed on the mounting base and a reflective plate fixed on the mounting base, wherein when the ribbon in the ribbon cassette loaded on the mounting base comes to the end, light emitted from the light emitting element impinges upon and reflects back from the reflective plate through the transparent terminal end part of the ribbon interposed between the light emitting element and the reflective plate and then enters into the light receiving element.
