Abstract: The invention broadly contemplates an electronic apparatus that provides improved antenna characteristics, while maintaining a thin size and light weight. The electronic apparatus of the present invention includes a display casing having a nonconductive resin region and a conductive resin region in a bottom surface thereof; a display module accommodated in the display casing; an antenna disposed in the nonconductive resin region; and a system casing accommodating a wireless module connected to the antenna. By disposing the antenna in the nonconductive resin region formed in the bottom surface of the display casing, it is possible to secure high radio wave sensitivity while preventing an antenna mounting portion from being exposed to the outside of the display casing. The casing structure of the electronic apparatus does not become thick because of butt joining even when the joint portions are in a projection area of an LCD module.

Abstract: A state diagnosing method diagnoses a state of an operation of the diagnosis target based on waveform data. A waveform representing values of time-series data, the time axis of which is configured to set a start time of an operation of the diagnosis target or a changing time of an operation of the diagnosis target as an origin, is obtained as a target waveform. A similarity between a reference waveform representing a normal state or an abnormal state of the diagnosis target and the target waveform is calculated. A state of the diagnosis target is determined based on the similarity.
