Abstract

A thermoplastic elastomer composition, which shows higher double-injection property with the PP, lower hardness, and the lower change in the storage modulus at the lower temperature, is prepared by mixing a proper content of a siloxane-based additive, a slip agent in a thermoplastic elastomer and a thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV). The siloxane-based additive and slip agent are optimized to improve processability and mechanical properties, while the TPV component, including an ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) and polypropylene resin, contributes to enhanced elasticity and stability. The formulation balances flexibility and strength, with siloxane additives improving surface characteristics and the slip agent reducing friction. The composition is suitable for various applications requiring robust elastomeric performance, especially in molded products where low-temperature resilience and high processability are critical. The overall polypropylene content is controlled to ensure optimal performance, not exceeding 5 wt %.

Abstract

Provided is a method for manufacturing a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) with a shortened initial activation time that involves preparing an assembly with cathode and anode layers on opposite sides of an electrolyte membrane, and applying specific pressure and temperature conditions. The electrolyte membrane includes a hydrocarbon-based ionomer with an ion pair comprising a cation and an activator anion. The cathode and anode layers each contain a fluorine-based ionomer with a functional group derived from the activator. This process results in a unit cell that achieves 95% of its maximum current density in about 10 hours or less under specified conditions. The MEA itself features the hydrocarbon-based ionomer and the fluorine-based ionomer, with an activator or phosphoric acid present throughout, achieving the same rapid activation time.

Abstract

The present embodiment provides an intra-prediction method based on block-level interpolation. In the present embodiment, an image decoding device acquires an intra-prediction mode of a current block. The image decoding device generates first prediction samples by performing first intra-prediction on a prediction area on the basis of the intra-prediction mode. Here, the prediction area includes some pixels of the current block. The image decoding device decodes first residual samples of the current block, and generates first reconstructed samples by adding the first prediction samples and the first residual samples. The image decoding device reconstructs pixels in an interpolation area by applying interpolation to the first reconstructed samples. Here, the interpolation area includes pixels, which are not included in the prediction area, among the pixels of the current block.

Abstract

The present embodiment discloses a method for improving subjective image quality in template matching-based prediction. In the present embodiment, an image decoding device sets a template of the current block. The template includes an adjacent pixel region of the current block and a first region of the current block, and the first region includes outer pixels of the current block and is adjacent to the adjacent pixel region. The current block includes the first region and a second region, and the second region is a region of the current block excluding the first region. The image decoding device acquires a reference block by performing template matching in a pre-reconstructed reference region on the basis of a template, and generates a prediction block of the current block on the basis of the reference block. The image decoding device applies filtering to an adjacent pixel of the current block to correct the first region of the current block. The image decoding device generates prediction signals of the first region, and generates prediction signals of the second region on the basis of the reference block.
