Abstract:

An electronic apparatus of the present invention has an electric fan in a casing. This electric fan generates air current between circuit substrates. The air current passes through the left-side gaps between the circuit substrates, and reaches the backside face of the electronic apparatus. The air current then passes through a power source substrate attached to a backside panel, and moves to the right. The air current then moves along the right-side inner surface and returns to the front side. The returned air is guided by a plurality of inner fins and then supplied to the electric fan. The heat generated in the casing is cooled by the air current circulating in the casing, and then conducted to the entire inner wall of the casing. The heat of the casing is then released into the atmospheric air through radiation fins arranged on the front face of the casing, the left and right side faces of the casing, and the front face of an open-close cover.

US Classification:

386/046000, 386/125000

Abstract:

A method and system for minimizing loss of critical digital data while such data is being written to a storage medium. The critical digital data is written to a digital storage medium in small blocks or segments. As each segment is transferred to the storage medium, the file allocation table is updated and the file is closed. By segmenting the files into smaller file segments, the amount of critical data lost as a result of a system failure or power loss is reduced. During playback, the file segments are dynamically assembled allowing playback of the digital data in a continuous manner.
