Abstract: Disclosed is a drainage tube that includes: a conduit member which has a first end, a second end, and a drainage passage disposed between the two ends. The first end is inserted into a diseased part of a Bartholin's duct abscess through an incision. A first wing member is provided on an outer circumference at a side of the first end and prevents the conduit member inserted into the diseased part from being separated. A second wing member is provided on the outer circumference at a side of the second end and restricts the depth to which the conduit member is inserted into the diseased part. Pus or the like may be smoothly drained from the diseased part while the incision heals.

Abstract: A contactless component-inspecting apparatus captures, using a camera, images of an object to be inspected that is assembled or mounted during a component assembly process and compares the captured image and a previously inputted image to determine whether the object passes or fails the inspection.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus to data encode and decode for improving the reliability of data that is compatible with a conventional error correction code (ECC) block format, a storage medium, a system to drive the storage medium, and a method of generating an extra parity ECC block, the data encoding method including generating N number of ECC blocks with respect to user data and generating at least one extra parity ECC block for the generated N number of ECC blocks.

Abstract: A data recording and/or reproducing apparatus and method for an information recording medium includes: an extra ECC encoder; and an extra ECC controller determining whether extra ECC is applied to the information recording medium, and controlling the extra ECC encoder to generate an extra parity data block corresponding to data that is to be recorded on the information storage medium.
