    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes: a chassis; first and second heating elements in the chassis; and a cooling module absorbing the heat. The cooling module includes: a first vapor chamber connected to the first heating element; and a second vapor chamber connected to the second heating element. The first and second vapor chambers are placed adjacent to each other with a step therebetween. The first vapor chamber has a bridge that is a part of at least one of the two first metal plates, the bridge straddling the step and extending toward the second vapor chamber to be connected to a surface of the second vapor chamber. The bridge is not provided with the closed space.

    Abstract: An electronic apparatus uses the cooling effect of a vapor chamber and includes: a chassis; a motherboard which is provided in the chassis and has a CPU mounted on a front surface thereof; a vapor chamber having a working fluid sealed in a hermetically sealed space formed between two metal plates; a stud fixed to the upper surface of the vapor chamber; and a screw fixing the stud and the motherboard. The CPU is thermally connected to the upper surface of the vapor chamber. The motherboard has a mounting hole formed therein, and the screw is screwed to the stud through the mounting hole from the rear surface of the motherboard. The CPU is rectangular, and four studs and four screws are provided at positions in the vicinity of the four corners of the CPU.

    Abstract: A stacked conductance fin assembly, that is connected to a heatpipe and an exhaust fan of a computing device, includes: a plurality of fins that are partially overlapped and stacked in a linear array along a first axis of the stacked conductance fin assembly. Overlapping regions of the plurality of fins form two parallel structural walls along the first axis. The overlapping regions overlap along a second axis of the stacked conductance fin assembly, the second axis being perpendicular to the first axis. Each of the plurality of fins includes: a main surface that extends along the second axis between two outermost ends of the main surface; two walls that extend along the first axis, each wall extending from each of the outermost ends of the main surface, respectively; and two offset walls that extend along the first axis, each offset wall extending from each wall, respectively.

    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a first chassis and a second chassis that are rotatably connected via a hinge device. A graphite sheet is disposed on an inner face of the first chassis to come in contact with a spine component in the 180-degree posture. A graphite sheet is disposed on an inner face of the second chassis to come in contact with a spine component in the 180-degree posture. A flexible board extends across the first and second chassis, and forms substantially S-shaped surplus length absorbing parts having a first folded part and a second folded part that are curved in opposite directions in the chassis. In the graphite sheet, a protective layer at the place where it comes in contact with the surplus length absorbing parts includes a sliding material.
