  • Publication number: 20080062531
    Abstract: A compact zoom lens includes first, second, third, and fourth lens groups sequentially arranged from an object side. The first lens group includes a first lens and at least one reflection optical component and at least the third lens group moves during zooming. The zoom lens satisfies a condition that 0.22?ST3/OL?0.25 where “ST3” is the distance of movement of the third lens group from a wide angle position to a telephoto position and “OL” is the overall length of the zoom lens. The compact zoom lens embodies a folding type inner zoom to reduce the thickness and the length of the zoom lens so it is suitable for use in digital cameras as well as personal mobile devices.

  • Publication number: 20080049334
    Abstract: Disclosed is a zoom lens optical system. The optical system includes a first lens group, which is fixed and has a total reflection prism, the prism turning an optical axis from an object side to an image side, and the first lens group having a positive lens power, a second lens group having a negative lens power, a third lens group having a positive lens power; and a fourth lens group having a positive lens power. The first through fourth lens groups are sequentially arranged from the object side to the image side, and the fourth lens group is fixed while magnification variation is executed by moving the second lens group and the third lens group.

  • Publication number: 20070274601
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for compressing an image using a permissible-error (PE) encoding method and a dynamic link-size encoding method. An image compression efficiency can be increased by selectively applying the permissible-error encoding method and the dynamic link-size encoding method to a zero loss compression method, for example, a Lempel-Ziv compression method.

  • Publication number: 20040203625
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for managing a memory in a mobile communication terminal. The apparatus enables a user to freely store user data without limiting user data types or the number of the user data by adopting a file system inside of a mobile communication terminal, and allows the user to selectively store data as needed by the user. The apparatus generates the user data as a file in case of storing the user data in the memory, stores the file in the memory, and provides a user interface to the file such that the user gains access to the file in file units or deletes the file in file units.

  • Publication number: 20020013986
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for manufacturing a current collector for a secondary battery. In the current collector manufacturing method, a current collector source material is first prepared, pre-treated and then passed between rollers, one of which has patterns shaped like openings to be formed in the source material to then coat a pattern forming composition. Then, the resultant is dried and etched to form the openings, thereby completing the current collector. The current collector manufacturing apparatus includes a main roller, a guide roller coupled to the main roller so that the current collector passes therebetween, and a pattern forming composition storage unit, installed under the main roller, for supplying the pattern forming composition to a patterned portion.
