| 20080257529 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An electronic device includes a cabinet, a first heat generating member, a second heat generating member, a fan unit, a first heat pipe and a second heat pipe. The first and second heat pipes are each formed by sealing an operation fluid which shifts its phase between gas and liquid into a pipe-like main body. In the second position, the first end portion of the first heat pipe is located at a position lower than that of the second end portion and the one end portion of the second heat pipe is located at a position higher than that of the other end portion. The second heat pipe includes a conveying mechanism that conveys the operation fluid in liquid phase from the other end portion to the one end portion. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090052131 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus is provided with a case, a printed circuit board which is contained in the case and includes a first surface and a second surface formed on the side opposite from the first surface, a first heating element mounted on the first surface, a second heating element mounted on the second surface, a first cooling fan used to cool the first heating element, and a second cooling fan used to cool the second heating element. A thickness of the second cooling fan is smaller than a thickness of the first cooling fan. The second cooling fan is mounted so as to overlap the first cooling fan in a direction parallel to the first surface of the circuit board and be situated within a range of the thickness of the first cooling fan. | 02-26-2009 |

| 20100220445 | Electronic Apparatus and Cooling Fan - According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus is provided with a housing, a circuit board in the housing, fan blades configured to rotate and blow air in a centrifugal direction, and a casing which contains the fan blades. The casing includes an exhaust port and a cut portion which opens in a centrifugal direction different from a direction in which the exhaust port opens, from a perspective of a rotation center of the fan blades, and into which a part of the circuit board is inserted. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100321888 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE - According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a printed wiring board, a first heat generating part and a second heat generating part secured to one surface of the printed wiring board, a plurality of first heat pipes, a second heat pipe and a heat sink. The first heat pipes each include a first end portion, a second end portion on an opposite side to the first end portion and a middle portion located between the first and second end portions and thermally connected to the first heat generating part. The second heat pipe includes a third end portion connected to the second end portion and a fourth end portion provided on an opposite side to the third end portion and thermally connected to the second heat generating part. The second heat pipe has a width dimension larger than that of the first heat pipe. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100328878 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes an enclosure, printed wiring board, electronic component, fan, duct, fin assembly, and heat pipe. The enclosure has an exhaust port in a sidewall thereof. The electronic component is mounted on the printed wiring board. The fan is placed in the vicinity of the exhaust port. The duct guides an airflow generated by the fan to the exhaust port. The fin assembly constituted of a plurality of fins, is arranged between an exit of the duct and the exhaust port, and includes an extension portion. A part of the extension portion extends to a range configured to overhang the printed wiring board. | 12-30-2010 |
