  • Publication number: 20240413497
    Abstract: A cylindrical secondary battery includes an electrode assembly; a cylindrical can accommodating the electrode assembly; and a terminal portion including a rivet terminal coupled to one side in the longitudinal direction of the can and electrically connected to the electrode assembly and at least one insulator between the can and the rivet terminal to insulate the can and the rivet terminal from each other. The battery also includes a rotation preventing portion on the can and/or the terminal portion. Since a structure for preventing rotation of the rivet terminal is provided on the upper surface of the can or the rivet head or the main body to which the rivet terminal is fastened, the rivet terminal may not rotate due to an external force or vibration. Therefore, the stability and reliability of the secondary battery can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20240413503
    Abstract: A secondary battery includes an electrode assembly including a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate, and a separator interposed therebetween, a can accommodating the electrode assembly, and a terminal portion including a rivet terminal coupled to one side of the can in a longitudinal direction and electrically connected to the first electrode plate, and an insulator between the can and the rivet terminal to insulate the can from the rivet terminal, and having a stepped structure in an area contacting the rivet terminal. By reducing or minimizing a height difference between the positive electrode terminal and the insulator, shape deformation of the electrode assembly can be reduced or prevented during the manufacturing process. By reducing the thickness and weight of the insulator, the size of the electrode assembly can be increased, and the capacity of the secondary battery can be increased.

  • Publication number: 20240356178
    Abstract: A cylindrical secondary battery includes a can and a terminal part including: a first terminal outside of the can; and a second terminal coupled to a terminal hole of the can, arranged inside and outside of the can, and riveted to the first terminal from an outside of the can. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, plastic deformation of a rivet terminal occurs outside of a can, and there is no limitation on the shape of the rivet terminal inside the can. In addition, the rivet terminal may be processed regardless of a size or height of the can, and there is no interference with the can, and a processing time may be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20240348839
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method of encoding a division block in video encoding and a method of decoding a division block in video decoding. An input picture is divided into encoding unit blocks. The encoding unit blocks are divided into sub-blocks. The sub-blocks are encoded by selectively using at least one of intra prediction encoding and inter prediction encoding. A decoding process is performed through a reverse process of the encoding method. When pixel values of an encoding unit block are encoded in video encoding, the flexibility in selecting an encoding mode is increased and the efficiency of encoding is increased.
