  • Publication number: 20200168855
    Abstract: A secondary battery configured to have a structure in which an electrode assembly is received in a battery case together with an electrolytic material, wherein the battery case is provided therein with a space for receiving the electrode assembly and wherein the battery case is made of a thermoplastic resin, which can be injection-molded. An injection mold may be formed such that the size of the mold corresponds to the thickness of the electrode, thereby solving a problem in which the formability of a conventional laminate sheet including a metal layer is low. In addition, a process of forming the laminate sheet and a process of sealing the battery case using a pressing member, which are essentially required in order to use the laminate sheet, may be omitted, whereby a manufacturing process is simplified and thus productivity is improved.

  • Publication number: 20200169726
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for deriving motion prediction information and performing encoding and/or decoding on a video using the derived motion prediction information. Each of an encoding apparatus and a decoding apparatus generates a list for inter prediction of a target block. In the generation of the list, whether motion information of a candidate block is to be added to a list is determined based on information about the target block and the motion information. When the motion information passes a motion prediction boundary check, the motion information is added to the list. By means of the motion prediction boundary check, available motion information for prediction of the target block is selectively added to the list.

  • Publication number: 20200154850
    Abstract: Provided is a sunscreen cosmetic product including a foamed rubber sponge and a cosmetic composition impregnated in the foamed rubber sponge. The cosmetic composition comprises only an inorganic ultraviolet blocking agent as an ultraviolet blocking agent. When the cosmetic composition comprises only an inorganic ultraviolet blocking agent as an ultraviolet blocking agent, it is possible to realize the sunscreen effect of the content wholly even after impregnation, since the inorganic ultraviolet blocking agent is not adsorbed to the foamed rubber sponge but is dispensed with no loss caused by adsorption. It is possible to increase the usage efficiency by controlling the pore size of the foamed rubber sponge during foaming to improve the ratio of the amount that can be used by the consumers based on the amount of the content impregnated in the sponge.
