| 20100045431 | INFORMATION PROCESSING UNIT - The present invention relates to an information processing unit including a fingerprint sensor, and it includes further a handle that can be gripped by a user and supporting members that are fixed to protrude from a side face of a first case of the unit and that supports the handle. The fingerprint sensor is disposed on one of the supporting members. According to this configuration, the fingerprint sensor can be disposed at a position to reduce the possibility that a finger, a hand or the like of the user comes into accidental contact with the fingerprint sensor, thereby preventing operation errors and sensitivity degradation of the fingerprint sensor and also preventing any discomfort for the user during an operation of a keyboard and the like. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100046154 | INFORMATION PROCESSING UNIT - An information processing unit of the present invention includes: a housing that incorporates an information processor; a handle arranged on one side surface of the housing; and support members that are arranged on the one side surface of the housing to protrude and support the handle. The support members respectively are arranged continuously from the one side surface to a pair of other side surfaces adjacent to the one side surface in a direction in which the handle is bridged. Each of the support members has a bent portion between the one side surface and each of the other side surfaces. Thus, a stress applied between the first housing and a handle mechanism when, for example, a user carries a notebook PC holding a handle can be dispersed, so that the handle can be fixed to the first housing with improved strength. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100046155 | INFORMATION PROCESSING UNIT - An information processing unit of the present invention includes hollow portions on a first casing side and protrusion portions on a second casing side, and the portions on both sides can be fitted. Accordingly, even when a notebook PC accidentally is dropped on the ground or the like, it is possible to reduce changes in the relative position of the second casing with respect to the first casing, which reduces a load applied to a hinge portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the hinge portion from being broken. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100046158 | DRAINAGE STRUCTURE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING UNIT - A drainage structure of the present invention includes a drainage groove, a drain, and a groove portion. Thus, even in the case where a user accidentally spills a liquid such as water on an upper face of a first housing, intrusion of the liquid into a disk drive can be prevented, and damage to the disk drive can be prevented. Moreover, the drain is connected to the groove portion. Thus, a liquid that drains from the drain can be collected in the groove portion. Accordingly, the liquid can be prevented from spreading over a wide area, and adhesion of the liquid to various types of electric components disposed in a back face of the first housing can be prevented. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100046159 | COVER OPENING AND CLOSING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING UNIT - In the cover opening and dosing device of the present invention, among clearances between a cover and a first cabinet, a clearance | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100046166 | INFORMATION PROCESSING UNIT - Since an information processing unit of the present invention includes a protrusion portion on a back face side of a first casing, it is possible to reduce an impact transmitted to a notebook PC when the notebook PC is placed in an upright position on the surface of a desk. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the notebook PC from being damaged. Furthermore, since the protrusion portion is provided to the back face side of the first casing, it is possible not to allow the notebook PC to stand self-supported in an upright position. Therefore, the notebook PC will not be placed carelessly in an upright position on the surface of a desk or the like; thus, it is possible to prevent the PC from being broken or damaged due to a fall. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100052489 | COVER OPENING/CLOSING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING UNIT - A cover opening/dosing device of the present invention is formed so that a height of a rib to be in contact with a sealing member asymptotically decreases from a shaft toward an edge of a cover opposite to the shaft. With this configuration, the cover can be dosed with only a small load imposed on the cover, whereby the operability in the opening/dosing of the cover can be improved. Further, air-tightness of a recessed part provided with a disk drive sealed by the cover can be ensured. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100053888 | GRIP DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING UNIT - In a grip device of the present invention, shielding members are placed in the openings of a handle in which arm members are to be arranged, respectively. This can make it difficult for a foreign matter to enter the handle via the openings. The presence of the shielding members can prevent a foreign matter from being caught between the handle and each of the arm members when the handle is moved from the extended position to the retracted position, resulting in a smooth movement of the handle. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100097749 | INFORMATION PROCESSING UNIT - An information processing unit of the present invention includes a display panel capable of displaying a video image; and a casing having a rear face panel that covers at least a back side of the display panel, the back side being opposite to a display face of the display panel. In the information processing unit, the rear face panel has an opposed face opposed to the display panel, and the opposed face includes a wall-thinned portion having a small thickness, and a wall-thickened portion that is a part of the wall-thinned portion having a thickness increased in a direction toward the display panel, and the wall-thickened portion is formed continuously from one side to an opposite side of the opposed face, the one side and the opposite side forming a perimeter of the opposed face and being opposite to each other. | 04-22-2010 |
