  • Patent number: 9324994
    Abstract: A high capacity lithium secondary battery includes a lithium manganese oxide having a layered structure exhibiting a great irreversible capacity in the event of overcharging at a high voltage and a spinel-based lithium manganese oxide. Because it is activated at a high voltage of 4.45 V or higher based on a positive electrode potential, additional lithium for utilizing a 3V range of the spinel-based lithium manganese oxide can be provided and an even profile in the entire SOC area can be obtained. Because the lithium secondary battery includes the mixed positive electrode active material including the spinel-based lithium manganese oxide and the lithium manganese oxide having a layered structure, and is charged at a high voltage, its stability can be improved. Also, the high capacity battery having a large available SOC area and improved stability without causing an output shortage due to a rapid voltage drop in the SOC area can be implemented.

  • Publication number: 20150128271
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for collecting network data traffic. The apparatus for collecting network data traffic includes a graph creation unit, an initialization unit, an edge selection unit, a reconstruction unit, an algorithm application unit and a traffic collection route provision unit. The reconstruction unit converts the selected edge into an inactive edge and connects the inactive edge to two nodes, so that the reconstruction unit reconstructs the tree structure. The algorithm application unit applies a minimal spanning tree algorithm to the reconstructed tree structure. The traffic collection route provision unit eliminates a leaf node and a leaf edge from the tree structure to which the minimal spanning tree algorithm has been applied, and generates a monitoring tree for providing a traffic collection route minimizing a total weight of the edges.
