Abstract: Disclosed herein are a video decoding method and apparatus and a video encoding method and apparatus. In video encoding and decoding, multiple partition blocks are generated by splitting a target block. A prediction mode is derived for at least a part of the multiple partition blocks, among the multiple partition blocks, and prediction is performed on the multiple partition blocks based on the derived prediction mode. When prediction is performed on the partition blocks, information related to the target block may be used, and information related to an additional partition block, which is predicted prior to the partition block, may be used.

Abstract: A battery includes an electrode assembly including a first electrode, a second electrode and a separator between the first electrode and the second electrode, the first electrode, the second electrode and the separator being wound around a winding axis to define a core and an outer peripheral surface. The first electrode and the second electrode include a first uncoated region and a second uncoated region along a winding direction, respectively, and an active material layer coating is absent in the first uncoated region and the second uncoated region. The battery further includes a housing receiving the electrode assembly through an opening formed at a bottom, a first current collector coupled to the first uncoated region and disposed within the housing, a cap covering the opening, a spacer interposed between the cap and the electrode assembly to fix the electrode assembly and seal the housing, and a terminal electrically connected to the second uncoated region.

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 a winding axis to define a core and an outer circumference. The first electrode includes a first active material portion coated with an active material layer and a first uncoated portion not coated with an active material layer along a winding direction. At least a part of the first uncoated portion is defined as an electrode tab by itself. The first uncoated portion includes a first portion adjacent to the core of the electrode assembly, a second portion adjacent to the outer circumference of the electrode assembly, and a third portion interposed between the first portion and the second portion. The first portion or the second portion has a smaller height than the third portion in the winding axis direction.

Abstract: A battery includes an electrode assembly including a first electrode, a second electrode and a separator between the first electrode and the second electrode wound around a winding axis to define a core and an outer circumferential surface, the first electrode including a first uncoated region in which an active material layer is not coated along a winding direction; a housing accommodating the electrode assembly through an open portion at a lower end thereof; a first current collector coupled to the first uncoated region and disposed in the housing; a cap to cover the open portion; and a spacer between the first current collector and the cap and having a height corresponding to a distance between the first current collector and the cap.

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: The present application relates to a method for producing biomass comprising protein and omega-3 fatty acids from single microalgae, and biomass produced thereby, the method for producing biomass according to one embodiment supplying the cultivation stage continuously with a nitrogen source to allow producing single microalgae-derived biomass having high protein and omega-3 fatty acid content, and as such, biomass produced thereby can be effectively used as the single microorganism source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

Abstract: The present application relates to a composition for freeze-preserving microalgae belonging to the family Thraustochytriaceae and a method for freeze-preserving microalgae belonging to the family Thraustochytriaceae using same. By the composition for freeze-preserving microalgae belonging to the family Thraustochytriaceae according to an aspect and the method for freeze-preserving microalgae belonging to the family Thraustochytriaceae using same, the microalgae may be stored stably for a long period of time, and the costs for preservation of the microalgae may be reduced by shortening a process. In addition, according to a method for preparing freeze-dried biomass of microalgae belonging to the family Thraustochytriaceae using the composition, even during long-term storage at room temperature, freeze-dried biomass in the form of powder that can maintain bacterial activity and is easy for storage and transportation may be manufactured through a simple process.

Abstract: A channel spreading method in a CDMA communication system which spreads a pair of symbols obtained by repeating one symbol with a quasi-orthogonal code having a given length to transmit the spread symbols through a first antenna and spreads said symbol and an inverted symbol of said symbol with said quasi-orthogonal code to transmit the spread symbols through a second antenna. The method comprises spreading one of said pair of symbols with a portion of said quasi-orthogonal code and spreading another symbol of said pair of symbols with a remaining portion of said quasi-orthogonal code; and spreading said symbol with a portion of said quasi-orthogonal code and spreading said inverted symbol with the remaining portion of said quasi-orthogonal code.
