Abstract: Disclosed is an electrode assembly, a battery, and a battery pack and a vehicle including the same. In the electrode assembly, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a separator interposed therebetween are wound based on an axis to define a core and an outer circumference. The first electrode includes an uncoated portion at a long side end thereof and exposed out of the separator along a winding axis direction of the electrode assembly. A part of the uncoated portion is bent in a radial direction of the electrode assembly to form a bending surface region that includes overlapping layers of the uncoated portion, and in a partial region of the bending surface region, the number of stacked layers of the uncoated portion is 10 or more in the winding axis direction of the electrode assembly.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a touchscreen based user interface (UI) interaction that controls a volume through circular UI graphics and switches between different application images by dragging an indicator on a touchscreen of a terminal device. The method includes: displaying an application image on a touchscreen; sensing whether the touchscreen is touched on the displayed application image; if the touchscreen is touched, displaying a volume image to control an audio volume at a touch position; and changing a size of the volume image whenever the touchscreen is touched and controlling the audio volume to corresponding to the size of the volume region.

Abstract: A digital multimedia playback apparatus and a control method thereof in which a user starts touching, on a touch screen, one of an item and a function icon ends touching the other one of the item and function icon to control the items and functions displayed thereon. The digital multimedia playback apparatus includes a touch screen to change the state of the item to the state that corresponds to the function icon; thus, the user can more easily edit files or the like.

Abstract: A method for providing a user interface (UI) and a multimedia apparatus using the same in which, if a multipoint stroke in which at least two strokes are concurrently input is detected on the touch screen, the touch screen performs a function corresponding to the multipoint stroke. A user can touch the touch screen to perform functions of various types using such a multipoint stroke.

Abstract: A mobile device for operating displayed content having a dual touch screen based on a transparent display panel is provided. The mobile device allows a method for operating displayed content in response to a touch event using at least one of front and back faces of the dual touch screen. The mobile device displays the content on the transparent display panel with a predefined brightness. When receiving a touch event through the transparent display panel, the mobile device modifies the brightness of parts or whole of the displayed content in response to the touch event.

Abstract: A portable integrated device and a method of controlling power thereof. The method of controlling power to a digital integrated device which includes a first body and a second body slidingly attached to each other and a first mode and a second mode including sliding the first body relative to the second body from an open position to a closed position, turning off power of the digital integrated device in the first mode, and maintaining the power of the digital integrated device in the second mode. Accordingly, power control may be performed differently according to whether the sliding part is open or closed and whether the preset function mode of the portable integrated device is a camera mode or a non-camera mode, so that functions of the non-camera modes can be maintained even when the sliding part is closed.
