Jong Hee Kim is undoubtedly a prolific inventor who has made significant contributions to the field of fuel cells and image encoding. With a total of 363 patents to his name, Jong Hee Kim is a force to be reckoned with in the world of innovation.

One of Jong Hee Kim's latest patents is for stainless steel for separation plate of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell having improved hydrophilic property and corrosion resistance, and manufacturing method therefor. This invention represents a significant improvement over existing fuel cells by enhancing hydrophilicity and corrosion resistance, while also reducing manufacturing costs and increasing productivity. By removing a non-conductive film formed on the surface of the stainless steel and forming a new conductive film thereon, Jong Hee Kim has been able to ensure better corrosion resistance and elevated hydrophilicity, without requiring additional surface treatment such as a separate coating or the like.

Jong Hee Kim has also patented an apparatus and method for encoding and decoding an image by skip encoding. This image-encoding method by skip encoding works by performing intra-prediction and involves a filtering operation on the signal, which is reconstructed prior to an encoding object signal in an encoding object image. By performing skip encoding on the encoding object signal, the residual signal can be avoided, thereby skipping over it and saving on processing time.

Jong Hee Kim has worked for some of the most high-profile companies in the Korean technology industry. He has worked for POSCO Co., Ltd, and ELECTRONICS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTE, demonstrating his versatility and widespread experience in various technology realms. Jong Hee Kim has co-worked with Jin Soo Choi and Se Yoon Jeong, further highlighting his exceptional teamwork skills.

In summary, Jong Hee Kim is a remarkably talented inventor with a vast range of patents that continue to shape the innovation landscape. His groundbreaking work in fuel cells and image encoding has already left an indelible mark on the industry, and it is expected that he will continue to pioneer new breakthroughs in the future.
