Abstract: An electrode connector includes a conductive wire and plates mounted on the wire such that the plates can be electrically connected to electrodes of cells. The plates are electrically connected to the wire. A battery module is manufactured with the electrode connector. The electrode connector is electrically connected to the electrodes of the cells by means of the plates. Consequently, the coupling of the electrode connector to the electrodes of the cells is easily accomplished by welding while damage to the cells is minimized. Furthermore, the electrical connection between the plates is accomplished by means of the flexible wire. Consequently, the assembly operation for the electrode connection is very easily carried out, and the electrode connector can be manufactured inexpensively.

Abstract: There are provided selective prediction encoding and decoding methods and selective prediction encoding and decoding devices. The selective prediction encoding device selects and performs one of an AC/DC prediction encoding method and an intra prediction encoding method which corresponds to the smaller of code amount from AC/DC prediction and an amount of AVC intra coding, records information indicating the selected encoding method in a header of a bit stream, and transmits the bit stream to the selective prediction decoding device. The selective prediction decoding device decodes the transmitted bit stream by the use of a decoding process corresponding to the information recorded in the header. Accordingly, it is possible to improve compression ratio and image quality by using the selective prediction encoding and decoding methods.
