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: Not only cooling performance for an integrated circuit such as a central processing unit (CPU) but also cooling performance for a power supply unit is improved. An electronic apparatus includes a first heat sink and a power supply unit including a power supply unit case having an intake air wall in which a plurality of air intake holes are formed. The intake air wall is located in front of the first heat sink. The intake air wall 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. A cooling fan is disposed to feed air toward the intake air wall.

Abstract: Provided is an electronic apparatus that acquires an ambient temperature of the electronic apparatus and operates a cooling device to cool a component that generates heat during an operation. When the ambient temperature is lower than a predetermined reference temperature, the electronic apparatus exercises control to increase an output of the cooling device to a value higher than that obtained when the ambient temperature is equal to or higher than the reference temperature.

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.

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.
