A keyboard housing structure is disclosed that includes a keyboard housing section for housing a keyboard body and a cable housing section for housing a cable. The cable is connected at one end to the keyboard body which is movable in the cable housing section along a housing direction in a pull-out direction. The other end of the cable is moveable in the housing direction within the cable housing section when housing the keyboard body in the keyboard housing section. Further included is a cable side connector, which is provided on the other end of the cable. A storing section side connector is detachably connected to the cable side connector and is housed in the cable housing section in such a manner as to be movable along the housing direction and the pull-out direction. The cable side connector is latched by a latch when the store section side connector is at a predetermined position in the pull-out direction in the cable housing section.

Provision of an extension-type battery pack which is improved in safety thereof against dropping and impact application. Although a battery pack is susceptible to damage caused by an impact since partial battery cells are located outside the outline of a notebook PC when it is mounted on the notebook PC, the battery pack is provided with a partition wall structure including an air space and a fireproof wall formed of a material which does not melt at a temperature of combustible gas discharged from a gas discharge valve of the respective battery cells. The material of the fireproof wall is preferably mica or the like. The partition wall structure can be provided between an inside battery compartment and an outside battery compartment of the battery pack or can be provided among other battery cells. This prevents fire spreading to other battery cells even if high-temperature combustible gas is discharged from a battery cell damaged by an impact or the like.

摘要:
A technique for prohibiting access to a computer having a security function when a security device is illegally removed from the computer. The security device is a hardware component that constitutes a part of a security function for a computer. When the security device is illegally removed from the computer, access to the computer is prohibited. Data indicating that the security device is attached to the computer are stored in a nonvolatile memory. Then, when a specific event, such as a power-ON event, is used as a trigger, the procedure for prohibiting the access to the computer is initiated. Following this, based on the data stored in the memory, it is detected that the security device was once attached to the computer and that it has now been removed. If currently the security device is not attached to the computer, although it was attached before, the access to the computer is prohibited.
