Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel including a first translucent substrate and a second translucent substrate between which a liquid crystal material is sealed; a flexible wiring board extending from a connection end portion with respect to the first translucent substrate; and a metal-reinforced resin container. The container includes a first principal surface onto which the liquid crystal panel is accommodated; a second principal surface onto which a printed wiring board is disposed; and a through hole for allowing an extended end portion of the flexible wiring board to pass therethrough from the first principal surface to the second principal surface so that the extended end portion is connected to the printed wiring board. The through hole is provided at a position corresponding to an overlapping portion between the first translucent substrate and the second translucent substrate.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a casing, a substrate, an electronic component, and an elastic member. The substrate is arranged inside the casing. The electronic component is arranged on the substrate. The elastic member includes a recessed portion formed to house the electronic component and a convex portion protruding toward the casing side over an entire circumference of the electronic component and being formed in an outer circumference side from the recess unit. The elastic member is compressed between the casing and the substrate.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of protecting against an unauthorized access from outside without increasing load of packet analysis and also capable of performing protection from a device inside a network. The information processing apparatus has a first network interface (illustrated using an NIC as an example) and is communicable with other information processing apparatus via the NIC. The information processing apparatus further has a second network interface (illustrated using an energy saving NIC as an example) for performing communication with other information processing apparatus in place of the NIC. The information processing apparatus executes switching processing for switching a network interface to be operated from the NIC to the energy saving NIC when an unauthorized access from outside is detected. At the time of the switching processing, internal information of the information processing apparatus is saved in the energy saving NIC.

Abstract: When multiple printing apparatuses which perform tandem printing have been decided, icons of the respective printing apparatuses are displayed on a screen and the number of print copies which has been allocated to each printing apparatus is displayed. A user can see the setting contents at a glance. When the user performs an operation of changing a size of the icons, the display of the number of print copies is changed. Depending on the size of the icons, the number of print copies is changed. In this way, the user does not need to perform operations many times for confirming and setting the tandem printing, and the user can confirm the setting in the tandem printing easily.

Abstract: A method for setting a supervisory control circuit includes a link establish requesting process wherein a first network element transmits a link establish request to a second network element via an unused channel, and a link establish responding process wherein the second network element that receives the link establish request decides a channel for establishing a supervisory control line and transmits a link establish response to the first network element via the decided channel. The method for the setting supervisory control line further includes a connection establishing process wherein the first network element that receives the link establish response allocates the channel that transmits the link establish request as a channel for establishing the supervisory control line.
