  • Publication number: 20020105781
    Abstract: There is disclosed an electronic apparatus having a water-cooling structure suited for a compact, thin design in which structure is brought about a liquid-circulating flow rate necessary and sufficient for an increased amount of heat occurring in a heat-generating element due to an improved processing performance of the electronic apparatus. In the electronic apparatus, a water-cooling jacket 8 is thermally connected to a heat-generating element 7, a heat-dissipating pipe 9 being thermally connected to a heat-dissipating metal sheet 9 provided at a rear panel of a display case 2, a cooling medium liquid being circulated between the water-cooling jacket 8 and the heat-dissipating pipe 9 by a liquid-moving device 11. The necessary and sufficient circulating flow rate and the necessary discharge pressure are determined by the relation between the upper limit temperature of the heat-generating element 7 and the limit amount of heat dissipation from the surface of the housing.

  • Patent number: 5250809
    Abstract: A method and device for checking a joint of an electronic component is arranged to apply heat energy to a joint containing a heat conductive material and receive the infrared ray radiated from said joint with an infrared camera. By processing the image information output from the infrared camera, the method and device can offer an area of a defect, an area ratio of a defect, pixel coordinates, a temperature distribution pattern, a distance between central axes of a particular portion of the joint, or a gradient angle. The obtained value is compared with a predetermined value for determining the kind of a defect and whether or not the joint is defective.
