Abstract: A processing load is reduced when a flash memory is used. A storage management device acquires an archive associated with an application, stores the acquired archive to one or more blocks among a plurality of blocks contained in the flash memory, and deletes one block among the plurality of blocks. In the archive storage, the acquired archive is stored in one of the blocks not storing an archive associated with an application different from that of the acquired archive, and in the deletion of one block, when an application is deleted, a block storing an archive associated with the application to be deleted is deleted.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to reduce deterioration in responsiveness to storage of content in a flash memory. A storage management apparatus according to the present invention includes a flash memory including a plurality of blocks each having a reserved area and a normal area, acquires a new dataset when a writable area included in a normal area of the plurality of blocks is larger than the new dataset and the new dataset is smaller in size than the writable area included in the normal area of the plurality of blocks in a case where unnecessary datasets included in the plurality of blocks are deleted, copies non-unnecessary datasets from the normal area of a specific block including the unnecessary datasets to the normal area of another block, deletes all datasets included in the normal area of the specific block, and stores the new dataset in the normal area of the specific block from which all the datasets are deleted.

Abstract: A reading-out section 108 is capable of reading out files recorded in a first auxiliary storage device 2a and a second auxiliary storage device 2b. A recording management section 106 moves a file of an application recorded in the second auxiliary storage device 2b to the first auxiliary storage device 2a. An application execution section 102 executes the application by using the file moved to the first auxiliary storage device 2a.

Abstract: Not only cooling performance for an integrated circuit such as a CPU but also cooling performance for a power supply unit is improved. An electronic apparatus (1) includes a first heat sink (71) and a power supply unit (60) including a power supply unit case (61) having an intake air wall (61a) in which a plurality of air intake holes (61b) are formed. The intake air wall (61b) is located in front of the first heat sink (71). The intake air wall (61b) has an external surface being inclined with respect to both a front-rear direction and a left-right direction and facing the first heat sink (71). A cooling fan (5) is disposed to feed air toward the intake air wall (61a).

Abstract: Foreign matter is prevented from entering the inside of an electronic apparatus. An electronic apparatus (100) includes plural exhaust holes (E1, E2) formed in an armor member (20), an air flow path (S3) formed inside the armor member (20) and connected to the plural exhaust holes (E1, E2), a power source circuit (41) disposed in the air flow path (S3), and a foreign matter preventing member (70) located between the power source circuit (41) and the plural exhaust holes (E1, E2). The foreign matter preventing member (70) is formed with plural openings (Es). Each of the openings (Es) is smaller in size than each of the exhaust holes (E1, E2).

Abstract: There is provided an electronic apparatus which improves an external appearance and which easily ensures the strength of an exterior member. In the electronic apparatus, an upper surface of an exterior panel (20A) has, on a peripheral portion of the upper surface, a first position (P1), a second position (P2) defined on an opposite side of a center (P0) of the upper surface from the first position (P1), a third position (P3), and a fourth position (P4) defined on an opposite side of the center (P0) of the upper surface from the third position (P3). A line (L1) that connects the first position (P1) and the second position (P2) to each other and is formed along the upper surface is a curve bulging to a lower side, and a line (L2) that connects the third position (P3) and the fourth position (P4) to each other and is formed along the upper surface is a curve bulging to an upper side.

Abstract: A heat radiating device includes a plurality of heat pipes including respective heat receiving portions that are located above an integrated circuit and that are thermally connected to the integrated circuit, and a heat sink connected to the plurality of heat pipes. A plurality of the heat receiving portions are aligned with each other in a left-right direction and are in contact with the heat receiving portions (73a) of adjacent ones of the heat pipes. The heat receiving portions each have a first width in an upward-downward direction and have a second width smaller than the width in the left-right direction. With this, cooling performance for the integrated circuit can be improved.

Abstract: A decrease in responsiveness when storing content in a flash memory is reduced. A storage management apparatus includes a flash memory including a plurality of blocks that include a plurality of usable blocks and one or more spare blocks. The apparatus is configured to acquire a new data set; change at least a part of the one or more spare blocks into a usable block and store the new data set in the thus changed usable block, in a case where a size of the new data set is larger than the writable area of the plurality of usable blocks and where the size of the new data set is larger than the writable area when an unnecessary data set contained in the plurality of usable blocks is deleted; and change the usable blocks all the data sets of which are deleted into spare blocks through garbage collection.
