Abstract: A battery pack includes a plurality of battery cells; a housing accommodating the plurality of battery cells; a plurality of bus bars electrically connecting the plurality of battery cells; and a first welding portion for coupling a first electrode terminal provided in each of the plurality of battery cells to the bus bar and a second welding portion for coupling a second electrode terminal provided in each of the plurality of battery cells to the bus bar. At least one of the first welding portion and the second welding portion includes a region in which a laser welding line formed on the bus bar proceeds in a direction opposite to an extension direction of the welding portion.

Abstract: A surface plasmon resonance imaging apparatus is provided. The surface plasmon resonance imaging apparatus includes a light irradiation unit configured to irradiate polarized light onto a metal coating film provided on one surface of a prism, a light modulator configured to spatially pattern-encode light reflected by the metal coating film and the prism, a light detector configured to detect a pattern-encoded light signal, obtained through pattern-encoding by the light modulator, as a spectral signal, a signal processor configured to spatially decode the spectral signal and analyze a decoded spectral signal to generate characteristic data of a sample provided on the metal coating film, and an output unit configured to output the characteristic data of the sample as a two-dimensional (2D) image.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) gas sensor which detects the concentration of gas with a simple structure and method by manufacturing an optical waveguide with a gas-permeable polymer material instead of a conventional cavity or chamber type. An optical signal travels through the optical waveguide of gas-permeable polymer by total internal reflection, and the gas naturally penetrates the optical waveguide without the use of separate inlet and outlet openings, so that the optical signal and gas particles come into contact with each other within the optical waveguide. Since the optical signal detected by a photodetector at the other end of the optical waveguide after traveling while contacting the gas particles has properties changed according to the concentration of the gas which they have contacted in the optical waveguide, it is possible to measure the concentration of a specific gas from the detected optical signal.

Abstract: A display device includes a display panel including a gate line and a data line, a gate driver that outputs a gate voltage to the gate line according to a gate output enable signal, a data driver that outputs a data voltage to the data line, a detecting circuit that detects a state of a clock signal. The state of the clock signal includes a normal or abnormal state. A masking circuit performs a masking operation for the gate output enable signal according to the state of the clock signal and a level of a reset signal, where the level of the reset signal includes a first or second level corresponding to a power-on or off of the display device, respectively.
