Abstract: Disclosed herein is a battery cell configured to have a structure in which an electrode assembly that can be charged and discharged is mounted in a plate-shaped battery case, a cathode terminal and an anode terminal protrude from one end of the battery case, the electrode terminals deviate to one side from a vertical central axis of a battery body when viewed from above, and a depressed portion is formed at one side of the battery body.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a battery cell configured to have a structure in which an electrode assembly including a separator disposed between a cathode and an anode is mounted in a battery case, wherein an asymmetric structure with respect to a central axis crossing the electrode assembly in plane is formed at a portion of at least one side of the electrode assembly constituting the outer circumference of the electrode assembly.

Abstract: Provided is a secondary battery with improved safety through filling a polymer in a hardened state, and a method of manufacturing the same. The method of manufacturing a secondary battery according to the present disclosure includes preparing a polymer slurry by adding a polymer particle to an electrolyte solution, injecting the polymer slurry to a battery casing in which an electrode assembly is received, changing the polymer slurry to a polymer solution by heating the battery casing, and hardening the polymer solution by cooling the battery casing.

Abstract: Provided is a secondary battery electrolyte having improved high temperature properties and overcharge-prevention properties, particularly improved overcharge-prevention properties under high voltage/high current conditions, in conjunction with a minimized deterioration of the battery performance, by adding 3 to 5% by weight of cyclohexyl benzene (CHB) and 0.2 to 1.5% by weight of 2-fluoro biphenyl (2-FBP) as overcharge-preventing additives to an electrolyte of a lithium secondary battery.

Abstract: Provided is a jelly-roll type electrode assembly pattern-coated with active materials manufactured by winding and compressing a separator and an anode and a cathode arranged on both sides of the separator. The anode includes anode flat coated portion coated with an anode active material and anode curved uncoated portion not coated with the anode active material, which are alternately formed. The cathode includes a cathode flat coated portion coated with a cathode active material and a cathode curved uncoated portion not coated with the cathode active material, which are alternately formed.

Abstract: Provided is a secondary battery electrolyte having improved high temperature properties and overcharge-prevention properties, particularly improved overcharge-prevention properties under high voltage/high current conditions, in conjunction with a minimized deterioration of the battery performance, by adding 3 to 5% 100 by weight of cyclohexyl benzene (CHB) and 0.2 to 1.5% by weight of 2-fluoro biphenyl (2-FBP) as overcharge-preventing additives to an electrolyte of a lithium secondary battery.

Abstract: A carrier for carrying a packaged chip includes a housing having a space into which the packaged chip is placed and at least one guiding hole formed between outside and inside lateral surfaces thereof A moving block moves along the guiding hole and engages with a latch, which is also provided in the guiding hole. The latch rotates to hold and release a packaged chip placed into the space. Corresponding steps on the moving block and the latch prevent the latch from rotating when the moving block makes small movements caused by jolts or shocks.

Abstract: A carrier for carrying a packaged chip includes a housing having a holding space and at least one guiding hole. A guiding block ascends and descends along the guiding hole. A latch moves backwards and forwards as the guiding block ascends and descends to move into and out of the holding space.

Abstract: In an embodiment of this invention, if a state, in which duty ratio of a PWM signal is kept equal to or greater than a predetermined value, has been maintained for a first time period, the duty ratio of the PWM signal of a digital power amplifier is adjusted downward. Furthermore, the duty ratio of the PWM signal is maintained without change when the duty ratio of the PWM signal is adjusted downward for a second time period, and the duty ratio of the PWM signal is adjusted downward only when volume is set to a maximum value allowable in the power amplifier. Accordingly, the temperature of the power amplifier can be prevented from rapidly increasing, the internal temperature of an electronic apparatus can be efficiently prevented from increasing, and damage to the power amplifier resulting from increased temperature can be prevented.
