摘要:
A portable information processor includes a computer main body and a digitizer connected by a flexible hinge defined in a cover. The hinge allows the computer main body and the digitizer to assume different superposed states by means of a flexible separable portion of the cover. In the superposed state of the computer main body and the digitizer, arbitrariness in folding back the separable portion causes runout between the computer main body and the digitizer. In spite of this runout, the superposed state can be accurately detected by means of an optical sensor, including an infrared radiator and an infrared-ray detector, disposed in the computer main body. A flexible reflection member is fixed to a predetermined surface of the separable portion of the leather cover, while assuring a predetermined area. If the computer main body and the digitizer assume a superposed state, light emitted from the infrared radiator is reflected by the flexible reflection member and is incident on the infrared-ray detector.

A computer system has a central processing unit (“CPU”) and a plurality of peripheral devices. A bus interconnects the CPU and the peripheral devices. Command signals are transmitted over the bus including an initiator ready signal (“IRDY”), a device select signal (“DEVSEL”) and a target ready signal (“TRDY”). First and second direct memory access devices (“DMA”) are connected to the bus and assigned the same address space. First and second switches selectively connect and disconnect the DEVSEL and TRDY signals that are output from the first and second DMA devices, respectively. Controller logic receives the DEVSEL and TRDY signals and directs the opening and closing of the first and second switches.

To provide a docking station for a portable computer, which increases its heat radiation when the docking station is docked with the portable computer. A docking station is equipped with a fan unit at a back portion of a power supply unit within a station body, and a front surface of a connection portion with which a notebook PC is docked is provided with an air suction opening. Thereby, once the fan unit is driven, high temperature air is exhausted from a station body and the connection portion, then outside air is introduced from the suction opening to stimulate the cooling of the connection portion, and the heat which is transferred from a back side portion of the notebook PC to the connection portion is also dissipated there to stimulate the cooling of the notebook PC side.

A method of producing a chip embedded substrate is disclosed. This method comprises a first step of mounting a semiconductor chip on a first substrate on which a first wiring is formed; and a second step of joining the first substrate with a second substrate on which a second wiring is formed. In the second step, the semiconductor chip is encapsulated between the first substrate and the second substrate and electrical connection is made between the first wiring and the second wiring so as to form multilayered wirings connected to the semiconductor chip.

A method, computer program product, and device for identifying a target key for a touch input are provided. The method, computer program product, and device provide for detecting a first location at which a first touch input is made, determining a first identification area that includes the first location at which the first touch input is made, obtaining a relative location of the first touch input in the first identification area, detecting a second location at which a second touch input following the first touch input is made, and identifying a target key for the second touch input based on the relative location and a distance between the first and second locations.

To provide an input device that can prevent or reduce incorrect inputs on adjacent keys while reflecting a user's intention as much as possible without the need for additional key operations by the user. Identification areas for identifying touch keys are varied as indicated by solid lines based on the preceding touch input (1). Then, identification for the following touch inputs (2)-1 and (2)-2 is performed using the varied identification areas. Dashed lines indicate the identification areas before being varied.

An electrode material for an electric double layer capacitor having a carbon fiber as an essential material. The carbon fiber has a coaxial stacking morphology of truncated conical tubular graphene layers, and each of the truncated conical tubular graphene layers includes a hexagonal carbon layer. Edges of the hexagonal carbon layer are exposed. The exposed edges of the hexagonal carbon layers have a high degree of activity and can be modified with functional groups such as —COOH, —CHO, or —OH. This enables use of the carbon fiber as the electrode material. The specific surface area of the surfaces on which the edges are exposed is extremely large, whereby a large-capacitance electric double layer capacitor can be formed.

Disclosed is a docking unit which includes a mechanical lock having an unlock position and a lock position. A security key is provided for manipulating the mechanical lock to move between the unlock position and the lock position. The security key is (1) detachable from the mechanical lock at the lock position and (2) undetachable from the mechanical lock at the unlock position. The docking unit further includes a latch for securing a portable computer to the unit in response to positioning of the mechanical lock in the lock position and releasing the computer from the unit in response to positioning of the mechanical lock in the unlock position. The unit also includes an inhibitor for selectively inhibiting the mechanical lock from movement to the lock position.
