Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for switching from a master node to a secondary node in a communication system. A method of a first communication node may comprise: adding the first communication node as a primary secondary cell (PSCell) to a second communication node through dual connectivity (DC); generating a first user plane path for smart dynamic switching (SDS) and a first instance for supporting the first user plane path according to a request from the second communication node; transmitting information on the first user plane path and the first instance to a terminal; receiving user data based on the first user plane path from the terminal as the first instance; and transmitting the user data to a core network using the first user plane path.

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 a winding axis to define a core and an outer circumference. The first electrode includes a first active material portion coated with an active material layer and a first uncoated portion not coated with an active material layer along a winding direction. At least a part of the first uncoated portion is defined as an electrode tab by itself. The first uncoated portion includes a first portion adjacent to the core of the electrode assembly, a second portion adjacent to the outer circumference of the electrode assembly, and a third portion interposed between the first portion and the second portion. The first portion or the second portion has a smaller height than the third portion in the winding axis direction.

Abstract: An aluminum pouch film for a secondary battery is disclosed. The aluminum pouch film includes an aluminum film layer; an outer resin layer deposited on one surface of the aluminum film layer; and an inner resin layer deposited on the other surface of the aluminum film layer, wherein the inner resin layer comprises a polyolefin resin, an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) and a maleic anhydride polypropylene (MAHPP) resin.

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 stopping noise reduction circuit for a start motor comprises a battery generating a power supply to drive the start motor, a key switch for controlling an on/off of the power supply, a solenoid having a permanent magnet, P and H coils, and a movement contact to drive the start motor, and further comprises a B1 terminal grounded inside the solenoid, an M1 terminal connected to an M terminal of the start motor, and a resistor coupled with the B1 or M1 terminal. In the stopping noise reduction circuit, upon an off condition of the key switch, the movement contact of the solenoid is connected to the B1 and M1 terminals such that more induced current than an induced current flowing into the P and H coils, in a current induced by a rotator of the start motor, flows to ground via the resistor within a short flow time.
