Abstract:
Conventional rechargeable battery packs for portable electronic products possess charging terminals for connecting the battery packs to charging devices. When a portable electronic product is in use, there is a potential for short circuiting the battery pack by connecting one or more objects to the exposed charging terminals. This invention provides a battery pack for a portable electronic product with a short circuit prevention function where the charging terminal is exposed only when plugged into a charging device. By protecting the charging terminals, the invention prevents a short circuit from occurring during normal operation of the portable electronic product. The battery pack with a short circuit prevention function comprises a spring-loaded cover that is adapted to travel over the main body of the battery pack to alternately cover and expose the charging terminal.
Abstract:
The present invention is an electrolyte for a lithium ion rechargeable battery and a lithium ion rechargeable battery that includes the same. More particularly, the present invention discloses an electrolyte for a lithium ion rechargeable battery that provides excellent cycle life characteristics and high-temperatures storage stability and prevents a drop in discharge capacity of a battery at low temperature, and a lithium ion rechargeable battery including the same. The lithium ion rechargeable battery including the electrolyte provides improved cycle life characteristics and prevents the problems of a drop in discharge capacity at low temperature and high-temperature swelling through the formation of a stable SEI film at the initial charge cycle.

Abstract:
A metal-coated amorphous powder having high toughness and plasticity is made by uniformly coating nano size metal on a powder surface through spray drying. The amorphous powder is added to a metallic salt solution and mixed. After mixing, the solution is spray dried. As the dried powder is heated, the salt is eliminated successively or at the same time to be reduced. The metal is a salt of any one of Cu, Nickel, Iron and Cobalt.

Abstract:
A light guide plate and a liquid crystal display device having the same. The light guide plate is disposed upstream of a liquid crystal panel to refract light supplied through an edge thereof, toward the liquid crystal panel. In the light guide plate, a plate body is disposed at a side of a light source for supplying light when a supply voltage is applied. A plurality of pyramidal diffusing elements are arrayed in a predetermined pattern on a surface of the plate body. Each of the diffusing elements is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise about an axis extending through a vertex of the diffusing element perpendicularly to the surface of the plate body so that an edge of the diffusing element facing a reference line connecting a central point of the light source to a central point of the plate body is angled 10° to 35° about the reference line.
Abstract:
A digital broadcast transmitting/receiving system and a method for processing data are disclosed. The method for processing data may enhance the receiving performance of the receiving system by performing additional coding and multiplexing processes on the traffic information data and transmitting the processed data. Thus, robustness is provided to the traffic information data, thereby enabling the data to respond strongly against the channel environment which is always under constant and vast change.
