  • Patent number: 9215126
    Abstract: This information processing system processes information through communication between a first information processing device and a second information processing device. The second information processing device has a recording unit and a control unit. The recording unit records a first OS and a second OS. The control unit selects one of the first OS and the second OS, according to a connection state with the first information processing device. The control unit controls the second information processing device or a combination of the first information processing device and the second information processing device, using the OS selected here.

  • Patent number: 8934241
    Abstract: In the electronic device, an inlet 10 is provided on a front face 1c of a first housing 1. Thus, it is possible to reduce the possibility of the inlet 10 being blocked by objects. That is, when a user uses a notebook computer in a normal position, his body opposes the front face 1c in many cases. Thus, when the inlet is provided on the front face 1c, the inlet is less likely to be blocked than when it is provided on any other face of the first housing 1. For this reason, the cooling efficiency within the first housing 1 does not drop.

  • Patent number: 8934243
    Abstract: A notebook computer 1 is provided with: a casing in which a CPU is accommodated; a heat-dissipating component 37 having a plurality of fins; and a fan 31, and operates such that heat transferred from the CPU to the heat-dissipating component 37 is heat-exchanged with air supplied from the fan 31, and released to the exterior of the casing. The heat-dissipating component 37 is disposed at an air outlet 32b of the fan 31. An opening 35 is formed, between the air outlet 32b and a fan main unit 33, in a fan case 32. First shutter means 39 is provided on a discharge outlet surface of the heat-dissipating component 37. With this structure, increase in cost and weight can be restrained, and dust on the heat-dissipating component can be removed with a simplified structure.

  • Patent number: 8827091
    Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To provide a rotating frame of an upper rotating body such that total productivity can be improved, the cost can be reduced, and model change can be facilitated. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] Many models having different lifting capacities are divided into a plurality of classes each including a plurality of models. A rotating frame 17 is determined on the basis of the model having the largest lifting capacity in each class. An upper rotating body is constructed using the rotating frame 17 as the base. In addition, each of winches 5 to 7 is mounted on the rotating frame by using a mounting structure standardized in the same class. On the other hand, left and right deck frames 18 and 19 are divided into sections on which different pieces of equipment are mounted, and the sections are separately attached to the rotating frame 17.

  • Patent number: 8717756
    Abstract: An electronic device includes: a casing in which electronic components including a heat-emitting component which emits heat during operation are accommodated; a heat-dissipating component including a plurality of fins to which heat emitted in the heat-emitting component transfers; a fan operable to supply cooling air to the heat-dissipating component; and a cleaning component movable on an end surface of the fins along the side nearer the fan with the cleaning component abutting against the end surface of the fins. In these features, dust on the end surface of the fins can be automatically removed by moving the cleaning component in the case of the spatial orientation of the electronic device being changed. Therefore, an effect of removing heat emitted in the heat-emitting components, by using cooling air supplied from the fan, can be continuously obtained.

  • Patent number: 7644794
    Abstract: A mode changeover control system for a transmission wherein the starting of a vehicle can be prevented even if the transmission is changed over to the drive mode side while a side stand is in an erected position. In a motorcycle including a mode changeover mechanism for a continuously variable transmission, and a side stand, there is provided a changeover operation section changed over by the driver between operation positions corresponding respectively to a drive mode position and a neutral mode position of the mode changeover mechanism. An electronic control unit operates the mode changeover mechanism based on the changeover operation position of the changeover operation section. The control section is configured so as to continually maintain the mode changeover mechanism in the neutral mode position even if the changeover operation section is operated to a drive mode operation position while the side stand is in a stored position.
