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: A lighting device includes a light guide plate configured to guide and diffuse a light from a light source, and a garnish body including a lighting area to which the diffused light is radiated, wherein the light guide plate is disposed at a predetermined angle with respect to the garnish body.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an articulated support device. The articulated support device is formed to include a plurality of links connected to each other. A device stand is detachably coupled to the front end of the articulated support device and the rear end of the articulated support device is fixedly coupled to a structure detachably. The connection portions of the plurality of links are fixed not to move relative to each other or the connection portions are released to be rotatable relative to each other through an operation of a handle part provided on a front side of the articulated support device. The articulated support device includes a plurality of rotation and fixing units. Each of the plurality of rotation and fixing units includes a front link connection adapter, a wire central binding portion, a rotation regulation portion, a casing pipe, and an inner connection pipe.

Abstract: An electrode rolling apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a sensing unit positioned above an electrode for a secondary battery being transferred along a lengthwise direction to measure a distance to the electrode for each location along a widthwise direction of the electrode, a control unit which identifies a location of a non-coated portion formed on the electrode using information associated with the distance between the sensing unit and the electrode measured through the sensing unit, and outputs a control signal to heat a region in which the identified non-coated portion is formed, a heating unit positioned above the electrode to selectively heat only the region in which the non-coated portion is formed according to the control signal of the control unit, and a rolling unit which rolls the electrode having the selectively heated region in which the non-coated portion is formed.
