  • Publication number: 20240128517
    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.

  • Patent number: 8174896
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device comprises a page buffer unit, a counter, a program pulse application number storage unit, and a program start voltage setting unit. The page buffer is configured to output a 1-bit pass signal when a cell programmed to exceed a reference voltage, from among target program cells included in a single page, exists. The counter is configured to count a number of program pulses applied to determine a program pulse application number. The program pulse application number storage unit is configured to store a number of program pulses applied until the 1-bit pass signal is received during a program operation for a first page. The program start voltage setting unit is configured to set a program start voltage for a second page based on the stored program pulse application number.
