Abstract:
A method for compressing a speech signal by using similarity of the F.sub.1 /F.sub.0 ratios in pitch intervals within a frame. This method comprises the steps of: dividing the speech signal into frames, each being of a predetermined size; checking whether each of the divided frames corresponds to a voiced speech; obtaining an F.sub.1 /F.sub.0 ratio of an initial pitch interval and of subsequent pitch intervals of each frame corresponding to voiced speech; determining if data in each of the subsequent pitch intervals can be regarded as identical to data in the initial pitch interval by calculating if the difference between the obtained F.sub.1 /F.sub.0 ratio corresponding to the subsequent pitch interval and the obtained F.sub.1 /F.sub.0 ratio of the initial pitch interval is smaller than a predetermined value; and compressing data in each of the subsequent pitch intervals if it can be regarded as identical to data in the initial pitch interval according the determining step above.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a flexible-film primary battery includes forming a first conductive carbon layer directly on a surface-treated inner surface of a first pouch film to form a positive electrode collector, and forming a positive electrode layer on the first conductive carbon layer to form a positive electrode plate. A second conductive carbon layer is formed directly on a surface-treated inner surface of a second pouch film to form a negative electrode collector, and a negative electrode layer is formed on the second conductive carbon layer to form a negative electrode plate. An adhesion/post-injection polymer electrolyte layer is inserted between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate to manufacture a battery assembly. An electrolyte is injected into the polymer electrolyte layer of the battery assembly. The battery assembly is sealed completely to form a primary battery.

Abstract:
Provided are a vacuum-sealing-type flexible-film primary battery and a method of manufacturing the same. The primary battery includes a battery assembly comprising a positive electrode plate including a positive electrode collector having a first conductive carbon layer disposed on a surface-treated inner surface of a first pouch and a positive electrode layer disposed on the first conductive carbon layer of the positive electrode collector, a negative electrode plate including a negative electrode collector having a second conductive carbon layer disposed on a surface-treated inner surface of a second pouch and a negative electrode layer disposed on the second conductive carbon layer of the negative electrode collector, and an adhesion/post-injection polymer electrolyte layer interposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, wherein the battery assembly is completely sealed. The flexible-film primary battery may employ the pouch as a collector film to improve flexibility. Also, the flexible-film primary battery may be completely sealed using the pouch to improve a retention period and cell performance. Furthermore, the flexible-film primary battery may be manufactured using a screen printing technique, thereby facilitating a roll-to-roll sequential process.
