A motion vector predictive encoding method, a motion vector decoding method, a predictive encoding apparatus, a decoding apparatuses, and storage media storing motion vector predictive encoding and decoding programs are provided, thereby reducing the amount of generated code with respect to the motion vector, and improving the efficiency of the motion-vector prediction. If the motion-compensating mode of the target small block to be encoded is the global motion compensation, the encoding mode of an already-encoded small block is the interframe coding mode, and the motion-compensating mode of the already-encoded small block is the global motion compensation, then the motion vector of the translational motion model is determined for each pixel of the already-encoded small block, based on the global motion vector (steps S1–S5). Next, the representative motion vector is calculated as the predicted vector, based on the motion vector of each pixel of the already-encoded small block (step S6). Finally, the prediction error is calculated for each component of the motion vector and each prediction error is encoded (steps S7 and S8).

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for conducting electric activation of an electric double layer capacitor, the method making it possible to increase the electrostatic capacitance and to decrease the internal resistance. The method is for conducting electric activation of an electric double layer capacitor in which nonporous carbonaceous electrodes containing graphite-like fine crystalline carbon are soaked in an organic electrolytic solution. The method at least comprises: charging the electric double layer capacitor at a constant current until the interelectrode voltage reaches a predetermined voltage which is not lower than the electrostatic capacitance developing voltage but lower than the rated voltage; conducting constant voltage charging for a predetermined time during which ions of solutes in the organic electrolytic solution are conceived to be adsorbed uniformly on the surface of the fine crystalline carbon at that predetermined voltage.

A low-cost and practically useful method for preventing global warming by decomposing N2O wherein N2O contained in an N2O-containing gas to be treated can be decomposed at a relatively low temperature; and an apparatus therefor. That is, a method for preventing global warming comprising, in a process of thermally or catalytically decomposing N2O in an N2O-containing gas to be treated, dividing the N2O-containing gas stream to be treated in portions, preheating a portion thereof so as to exothermally decompose N2O in said gas stream to form a hot gas stream, and supplying the remainder of the divided gas stream to be treated into said hot gas stream to thereby continuously decompose N2O, so that global warming is prevented; and an apparatus therefor.

Motion vector encoding and decoding methods, motion vector encoding and decoding apparatuses, and storage media storing motion vector encoding and decoding programs are provided, thereby reducing the amount of generated code with respect to the motion vector. First, the motion vector of a target block to be encoded is detected (step S1), and a prediction error vector is calculated (step S2). After the length component of the motion vector is calculated (step S3), the length component is variable-length-encoded (step S4). The length component is checked (step S5), and if the length component is not 0, the direction component is calculated (step S6). The table for encoding the direction component is selected according to the length component, and the direction component is encoded (step S7).

A scheme for detecting shot boundaries in the compressed video data at high speed and high accuracy. In this shot boundary detection scheme, a Predictive-picture (P picture) change is calculated from a P picture sequence in the input video data which is compressed by an inter-frame/inter-field forward direction prediction coding scheme, according to coded data contained in the P picture sequence, while an Intra-picture (I picture) change is calculated from an I picture sequence in the input video data which is compressed by an intra-frame/intra-field coding scheme, according to coded data contained in the I picture sequence. Then, a shot boundary is detected by evaluating both the P picture change and the I picture change.
