Abstract:
An expansion device detachably installed into a computer system, for example a "notebook" computer, includes a central processor (10) for controlling the operation of the expansion device, first, volatile data storage means (16) for use as working area by the central processor, an interface (9) for communicating with the computer system, and means (13) for supplying power from the computer system to the powered elements in the expansion device. In order to permit a task to be re-started from the same point after power-down, a second, non-volatile data storage means (17) is provided for saving context information held by the interface and the data stored in the first data storage means in response to a request from the computer system via the interface means.
Abstract:
A CD replay device, which includes an ejection button for controlling the ejection of a CD and which reads data on a surface of the CD. A disk ejection operation is performed when the ejection button has been depressed for a period of time that is less than a predetermined period. The replaying of a CD begins when the ejection button has been depressed for the predetermined period of time or longer.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate exchange of hard disk drives in a server unit stored in a rack. SOLUTION: A server unit 101 consists of an outer case 102 and an inner case 109. In the inner case, a movable part 122 which can be moved downward is attached, and hard disk drives 113 are stored in two columns. When replacing a hard disk drive 112 placed on the backside, the inner case 109 is pulled out, the movable part 122 is lowered, and the end surface of a hard disk drive 112 placed on the backside is exposed. By adopting this structure, all the hard disk drives 113 are made exchangeable from the front surface side, and removal of the server unit 101 from the rack is made unnecessary in exchanging the hard disk drives 113.
Abstract:
A CD REPLAY DEVICE (50), WHICH INCLUDES AN INJECTION BUTTON (6) FOR CONTROLLING THE EJECTION OF A CD (53) AND WHICH READS DATA SURFACE OF THE CD. A DISK EJECTION OPERATION IS PERFORMED WHEN THE EJECTION BUTTON HAS BEEN DEPRESSED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THAT IS LESS THAN A PREDETERMINED PERIOD. THE REPLAYING OF A CD BEGINS WHEN THE EJECTION BUTTON HAS BEEN DEPRESSED FOR THE PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME OR LONGER. FIG 3
