Abstract: The present invention discloses an encoding apparatus using a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) scanning, which includes a mode selection means for selecting an optimal mode for intra prediction; an intra prediction means for performing intra prediction onto video inputted based on the mode selected in the mode selection means; a DCT and quantization means for performing DCT and quantization onto residual coefficients of a block outputted from the intra prediction means; and an entropy encoding means for performing entropy encoding onto DCT coefficients acquired from the DCT and quantization by using a scanning mode decided based on pixel similarity of the residual coefficients.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an image encoding and decoding technique, and more particularly, to an image encoder and decoder using unidirectional prediction. The image encoder includes a dividing unit to divide a macro block into a plurality of sub-blocks, a unidirectional application determining unit to determine whether an identical prediction mode is applied to each of the plurality of sub-blocks, and a prediction mode determining unit to determine a prediction mode with respect to each of the plurality of sub-blocks based on a determined result of the unidirectional application determining unit.

Abstract: A compressor may include a casing having a refrigerant inlet space therein that communicates with a suction pipe through which a refrigerant is suctioned into the casing; a high/low pressure separation plate that crosses an upper portion of a compression unit to partition the refrigerant inlet space positioned at a lower portion of the high/low pressure separation plate and a refrigerant discharge space positioned at an upper portion thereof; and a discharge guide. The discharge guide may be provided in the refrigerant discharge space and may be coupled with an upper surface of the high/low pressure separation plate to cover a communication hole of the high/low pressure separation plate that provides communication between the refrigerant inlet space and the refrigerant discharge space and at least a portion thereof may extend to a discharge pipe.

Abstract: A compressor may include: a casing (10) having a refrigerant inlet space (V1) therein communicating with a suction pipe suctioning a refrigerant; a high/low pressure separation plate (90) provided by crossing an upper part of a compression unit (50) to partition the refrigerant inlet space (V1) positioned at a lower portion of the high/low pressure separation plate (90) and a refrigerant discharge space (V2) positioned at an upper portion thereof; and a discharge guide (100). In this case, the discharge guide (100) is provided in the refrigerant discharge space (V2) and is combined with an upper surface of the high/low pressure separation plate (90) to cover a communicating hole 92? of the high/low pressure separation plate communicating the refrigerant inlet space (V1) with the refrigerant discharge space (V2) and at least a portion thereof extends to a discharge pipe (14).
