Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBMZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PortableObject</a> is a tangible object that is not "fastened down" and is light enough for an average human (or, more to the point, for its average intended user) to move easily. For many instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBMZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PortableObject</a>, portability is important for the fulfillment of their primary functions; for example, an article of clothing (an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkEoJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SomethingToWear</a>), a hand-guided tool (an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVig-pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HandTool</a>), a coin or dollar bill (an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjMQpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Currency</a>), or a flashlight (an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjc1pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Flashlight</a>) would be pretty useless if they weren't portable. In other cases, making a device portable, or making a portable version of a device, simply provides a convenience, as with the subcollections <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwPvPDJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PortableTelevision</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjYqZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PortableStereoSystem</a>. Note that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwPznZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Tool</a> is not a subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBMZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PortableObject</a>, since many tools are heavy and/or stationary. A borderline example of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBMZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PortableObject</a> would be a heart/lung machine; although the beneficiary of its primary function is in no position to move it around, the physicians and nurses who also are "using" it can and do exactly that. The same goes for a playpen; the kids in it had better not be able to move it around, but the adults who set it up and put them there can and do move it. A borderline non-example would be a car; even though its user can make it move around, that is more a controlling action than a transporting action -- i.e., the car is doing the transporting in that case, not the driver. A borderline example is a cat; even though it moves under its own power, it is light enough for its owner to pick it up and move it around. A borderline example is a bed or a dresser; though too heavy to lift, its owners can generally move it around (by sliding, disassembling and reassembling, and so on). portable object wikipediaArticleName (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rTv-jk9SPTXa991kk5mAvHg" class="cyc_term">wikipediaArticleName</a> THING NAME) means that in <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rtqXA6OC8QdiWC72DuLJdUw" class="cyc_term">Wikipedia_WebSite</a> THING is described by an article with the title NAME Wikipedia Article Name
