Abstract:
A lithium battery according to the inventive concept may comprise a cathode, an anode separated from the cathode, a first separator disposed between the cathode and the anode, the first separator having first pores, a second separator disposed on the first separator, the second separator having second pores, and an electrolyte filling a gap between the cathode and the anode. Diameters of the second pores may be smaller than those of the first pores. A standard deviation of the diameters of the second pores is smaller than that of the first pores.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for encoding/decoding a moving picture based on adaptive scanning. The moving picture apparatus and method can increase a compression rate based on adaptive scanning by performing intra prediction onto blocks of a predetermined size, and scanning coefficients acquired from Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) of a residue signal and quantization differently according to the intra prediction mode. The moving picture encoding apparatus includes: a mode selector for selecting and outputting a prediction mode; a predictor for predicting pixel values of pixels to be encoded of an input video based on the prediction mode to thereby output a residue signal block; a transform/quantization unit for performing DCT onto the residue signal block and quantizing the transformed residue signal block; and an encoder for adaptively scanning and encoding the quantized residue signal block based on the prediction mode.

A multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) communication method and apparatus is disclosed. The MIMO communication method may include setting a target channel capacity between at least one transmitting antenna and at least one receiving antenna, calculating a current channel capacity between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna based on a transmission signal output from the transmitting antenna, and in response to the current channel capacity not meeting the target channel capacity, changing an arrangement or an attribute of the transmitting antenna or the receiving antenna to adjust the to transmission signal output from the transmitting antenna.
Abstract:
A first terminal generates a first scheduling request signal including information about first data resources for data transmission when the first terminal tries to reserve the first data resources. The first terminal generates a first scheduling request indication signal providing notification that the first scheduling request signal is to be transmitted. The first terminal transmits the first scheduling request indication signal through a first request subslot included in a first scheduling request resource before transmitting the first scheduling request signal. The first terminal transmits the first scheduling request signal through a second request subslot included in the first scheduling request resource.

A method and apparatus for measuring a quality of a holographic image are provided. An image quality measuring method may include acquiring a first image including a holographic image in a background, and a second image that does not include a holographic image, the first image and the second image being on the same background, extracting a gray level value and a dark-noise counted level value from the first image in a selected range of the first image, extracting a gray level value and a dark-noise counted level value from the second image in the same range as the selected range of the first image, and determining a holographic contrast ratio (HCR) of the holographic image based on the extracted gray level values and the extracted dark-noise counted level values.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a routing apparatus and method for configuring a LPWMN based on a channel hopping time-multiplexed wireless link. The routing apparatus of the present invention includes a control unit for setting up a channel hopping time-multiplexed wireless link with a gateway router, one or more routers, and one or more devices based on deterministic and synchronous multi-channel extension (DSME) media access control (MAC) link control (DSME MAC link control: DLC) sublayers and DSME MAC link network (DLN) sublayers. A communication unit transfers data frames to the gateway router, routers, and devices depending on connection quality of the channel hopping time-multiplexed wireless link.
