Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a storage device. The storage device includes a memory device including write-completed blocks storing data and free blocks each containing no data and a memory controller controlling the memory device to perform a garbage collection operation to store valid data stored in a victim block, among the write-completed blocks, in one of the free blocks based on the number of map segments including mapping information between logical addresses and physical addresses of the valid data, and erase counts of the free blocks.

Abstract: An access sheath is provided. The access sheath comprises: an outer sheath extending in one direction and having a cavity formed along a longitudinal axis of the outer sheath; and an inner sheath arranged in the cavity of the outer sheath, and having a plurality of balloons configured to expand, wherein the outer sheath includes: an outer body formed of a first material; and an elastic connection part formed of a second material which is more flexible than the first material of the outer body, and wherein a diameter of the outer sheath increases by the elastic connection part which expands according to an expansion of the balloons.

Abstract: An access sheath is provided. The access sheath comprises: an outer sheath extending to be long in one direction, and having an insertion space formed in a lengthwise direction; and an inner sheath drawn into the insertion space of the outer sheath, and having a plurality of balloons, wherein the outer sheath comprises: an outer body having a cutting gap formed along the lengthwise direction of the outer sheath; and an elastic connection part filled in the cutting gap so as to connect a cutting area of the outer body, and provided as an elastic material more flexible than that of the outer body, wherein the elastic connection part expands and the diameter of the outer body increases according to an expansion of the balloons.

Abstract: A gap-type overhead transmission line includes a steel core member; a conductor layer positioned to surround the steel core member and having at least one strand wire aggregated therein; and a coating layer interposed in a solid state between the steel core member and the conductor layer so as to surround the steel core member, the coating layer including a material that is sublimated after the conductor layer is stranded so as to form a predetermined gap between the steel core member and the conductor layer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronization control of multimedia objects in an MHEG engine are specified. The present system overcomes the shortcomings in the conventional apparatus, which is the fact that interactive processing is not allowed during presentation and that the conventional apparatus cannot control synchronized presentation for failing to provide control of the conditional, temporal, and spatial synchronization.
