A portable electronic device is capable of protecting a camera against impact from outer peripheries of a casing, and clearly indicating the passage of the camera through an image-inversion position. A camera (30) is rotatably installed in a casing (40). Windows (40d, 40e), through which the camera is able to view the outside of the casing and to be operated to rotate by a user, are formed in a front wall (40a) and a rear wall (40b), respectively, of the casing. Each of frames enclosing the windows, respectively, has a part which lies near an outer peripheral side of the casing and which is constituted by a bridge portion (44) connected with the casing. In this construction, all the outer peripheral sides of the camera (30) excepting those corresponding to the front and rear sides of the casing are covered with the casing and the bridge portion (44). As a result, an impact applied to the camera from a peripheral side of the casing adjacent to the bridge portion can be blocked by the bridge portion. In addition, when the camera is rotated to move the shooting or picture-taking plane thereof to the front side or the rear side of the casing, the image on the display becomes dark at a time for example, and hence the user is able to clearly recognize that the camera has passed an image-inversion position. A control part performs prescribed control based on an image of a wall of the casing which is taken by the camera and which lies between the front side and the rear side.

An image forming apparatus has a plurality of print assemblies for forming a color image, a fixing unit, and a paper conveyor belt for conveying a paper sheet through the print assemblies and the fixing unit. The fixing unit includes a pair of fixing rollers, a nip control mechanism for moving the pair of the fixing rollers between a nip position and a non-nip position, and a fixing unit securing member movable with the nip control mechanism. Thus, the fixing unit can be easily mounted and demounted.

An information terminal device includes a first housing and a second housing slidably connected to each other with a connecting mechanism and that is changeable in state between a closed state in which the two housings overlap each other and an open state in which the two housings overlap each other by an area smaller than in the closed state. The information terminal device includes an elastic sheet component attached to a surface of the second housing that faces the first housing and having a protrusion protruding towards the first housing, and a biasing component that biases the protrusion towards the first housing so as to cause the biased protrusion to be elastically in contact with the first housing when the information terminal device is in the closed state.

In an impact type printing apparatus, leak of impact noise to outside can be reduced by (1) arranging the print head, platen and sheet exhaust port almost in a line and (2) setting the shape of guide ribs provided at the internal surface of cover having the aperture so that the envelope of guide ribs which has come closest to the platen at the center and periphery thereof of the sheet and is gradually separated from the platen at both ends of the sheet. Moreover, the optimum exhaust port can be selected depending on the type and thickness of sheet by rotation of cover or providing the slide mechanism.

An information processing unit such as a folding type mobile phone whose first casing having a display and second casing having buttons are connected by a hinge. A first fixing mechanism of the hinge temporarily fixes the first and the second casing by a predetermined holding force when an opening angle between the first and the second casing is a first degree of opening which is smaller than 180°. A second fixing mechanism of the hinge locks the first and the second casing by a holding force stronger than the holding force at the time of temporary fixing when the opening angle is 180°. This information processing unit can be opened from the closed state to the temporary fixed state with a light force, from the temporary fixed state to the lock state with a medium force, and can be closed from the lock state to the temporary fixed state with a heavy force.

Disclosed is a liquid detection device wherein a condition in which there is no liquid remaining in either a storage member or a tank and a condition in which there is liquid remaining in at least either the storage member or the tank are easily discriminated using a single mechanism. When there is oil (liquid) remaining in at least either the oil tank or the impregnated member (storage member), light emitted from a light emitting part is passed into the oil through a prism face located partway along the light path, and does not reach a light receiving part. On the other hand, when there is no oil remaining in either the oil tank or the impregnated member, the emitted light reaches the light receiving part. When the oil tank itself is not mounted, the light emitted from the light emitting part also reaches the light receiving part. When the light emitted from the light emitting part is not detected by the light receiving part, a controller determines that there is oil.

There is provided an exchange, an exchange control program, and an exchange control method capable of securing a communication channel when lines are crossed.An exchange is connected between a terminal and a network. The exchange comprises: a monitor section that monitors a state of the network; and a channel control section that secures, before transmission from the terminal on a call-out side, a channel for use in the transmission from the call-out side terminal when determining that the network state meets a predetermined line condition based on the monitor result of the monitor section and receiving a channel securing instruction from the call-out side terminal.
