Abstract: A housing for a computer or multi-media equipment or the like includes at least one heat-generating component. The housing may have a respective cooling body on opposing walls and a heat conduction conduit that is thermally coupled to the heat-generating component. The heat conduction conduit can run along both opposing walls and is thermally coupled to the cooling bodies, whereby heat from the heat-generating component can be dissipated from the housing via the heat conduction conduit and the cooling bodies. By running the heat conduction conduit along opposing walls, heat may be transferred in a rapid, uniform manner to the entire surface of the cooling bodies that are contained in the walls.

Abstract: A cooling apparatus for cooling an electronic device on a substrate, comprising a first heat sink held in contact with the electronic device, but unconnected with the substrate or the electronic device. The first heat sink is held into contact with the electronic device by a biasing means.

Abstract: A device for actuating a mechanism for ejecting a data carrier, particularly a DVD or CD, from a drive in a housing is provided. The drive comprises an actuator that is arranged within a portion of an area at the drive, wherein an operating element is provided at the housing, and wherein the operating element is coupled to the actuator in such a way that a force exerted upon the operating element is transmitted on the entire said area at the drive such that an operation of the operating element results in the actuation of the actuator regardless of in which portion of said area the actuator is located.
