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: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for encoding and decoding an image by skip encoding. The image-encoding method by skip encoding, which performs intra-prediction, comprises: performing a filtering operation on the signal which is reconstructed prior to an encoding object signal in an encoding object image; using the filtered reconstructed signal to generate a prediction signal for the encoding object signal; setting the generated prediction signal as a reconstruction signal for the encoding object signal; and not encoding the residual signal which can be generated on the basis of the difference between the encoding object signal and the prediction signal, thereby performing skip encoding on the encoding object signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical robot system capable of effectively removing a calcified thrombus in a blood vessel. The present invention proposes a new guide-wired helical microrobot for mechanical thrombectomy applied to a calcified thrombus. Also, the present invention proposes an electromagnetic navigation system (ENS) which uses a high frequency operation that is based on a resonant effect in order to enhance the boring force of a microrobot. The microrobot system of the present invention can precisely tunnel through a blood vessel blockage site by means of the electromagnetic navigation system without damaging blood vessel walls. The microrobot system of the present invention has a wide range of applications including not only for thrombosis, but also thromboangiitis obliterans caused by vasoocclusion, cerebral infarction, strokes, angina or myocardial infarction, peripheral artery occlusive disease, or atherosclerosis, etc.

Abstract: An electromagnetic actuating device. A coil unit generates magnetic field toward a medical device inserted into a human body. An actuator drives the coil unit to move back and forth, thereby adjusting the rate of a change in magnetic force or magnetic field applied to the medical device. The coil unit moves linearly back and forth depending on the body shape of a subject and the body part to be diagnosed, such that actuation force is efficiently supplied to the medical device.

Abstract: A diffuser which reduces noise generated due to a flow of cool air when the cool air is discharged from a supply duct configured to supply cool air generated from a body provided at outdoors to the indoors, and an air conditioner having the same are provided. The diffuser includes a coupling part coupled to the supply duct, an extension part extending from the coupling part while having a taper shape such that cool air supplied through the supply duct is guided to the indoors, a mesh provided to surround an outer side of the extension part, and a housing accommodating the coupling part and the extension part, and having an opening configured to discharge the cool air supplied to the extension part to the indoors.

Abstract: The spray nozzle of a dish washer comprises a nozzle port and a guide unit provided on an outside of the nozzle port, the guide unit being provided with a slide surface extended at an inner circumferential surface of the nozzle port. Water flow having a water screen shape can be sprayed from the spray nozzle.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pre-hemming apparatus for a door belt part for a vehicle. The apparatus includes a cam driver and a main punch pressing steel, and a cam device. The cam driver and the main punch pressing steel are installed at an upper die, and they are configured to drive the cam device installed at a lower die. The cam device installed at the lower die performs a hemming operation on a panel through a forward and backward motion and a linkage motion. The hemming apparatus performs the hemming operation including a first shifting process, a pre-hemming process, a second shifting process, and a main hemming process by allowing the cam driver and the main punch pressing steel to be linked with the cam device.

Abstract: A video cassette recorder comprises a pair of pole base assemblies each of which includes a guide roller for guiding a running magnetic tape to help maintain a proper contact with a head drum having at least one video head, a base and a post for supporting the guide roller, and a lever for selectively vertically moving the posts depending on operation modes. The post is mounted to the base and movable vertically, and the guide roller is rotatably fixed to top of the post. The lever is provided with a pair of stepped portions, is mounted under a deck, and horizontally moves depending on the operation modes so that the stepped portions selectively contact and move the posts by a desired height to tilt the tape between the guide rollers at an angle, thereby allowing the video head of the head drum to correctly read tracks recorded on the magnetic tape.
