  • Patent number: 9903775
    Abstract: A detector provided on a flat portion of a diaphragm includes a plurality of strain gauges, resistor element connectors connecting adjacent ones of the strain gauges, and an electric conductor covering a part of the resistor element connectors. First linear portions and second linear portions of the resistor element connectors exposed from the electric conductor are orthogonal to the edges of the electric conductor extending across the first linear portions and the second linear portions. Even when a pattern of the resistor element connector and a pattern of electric conductor are misaligned in X direction or in Y direction, an area of the resistor element connector exposed from the electric conductor does not change.

  • Publication number: 20160021786
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a housing, a heat-producing element, a first heat absorber, a second heat absorber and a heat transfer member. The heat-producing element produces heat in the housing. The first heat absorber is provided on an inner surface of the housing to face the heat-producing element. The first heat absorber absorbs heat from the heat-producing element in the housing. The second heat absorber is provided on the inner surface of the housing at a position separate from the first heat absorber. The heat transfer member transfers heat from the heat-producing element absorbed by the first heat absorber to the second heat absorber.
