Title: Billing system and method for making load-based adjustments to charges
Inventor: AJIRO YASUHIRO
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 2006-12-19
Abstract: A billing system charges resource users for the utilisation of a shared resource. The billing system acquires 100 data representing a resource utilisation rate at intervals, calculates 102 a utilisation rate difference between the acquired resource utilisation rate and a reference 120 resource utilisation rate, and substitutes the utilisation rate difference for the argument of a predetermined mathematical function 121 to produce 104 a collective adjustment payment (surcharge or discount). Individual adjustment payments are obtained 106 from the collective adjustment payment respectively for resource users. The reference or threshold utilisation rate may be an average value of previously determined consumption rates and the mathematical function may be linear. The method may be applied to a billing system for CPU usage. In this way the system can help to balance demand by influencing user behaviour.

Title: Constellation rearrangement method for constellations with three levels of reliability using bit exchange and optionally inversion
Inventor: ANTONIOU SOLOMOS
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2007-01-09
Abstract: The invention concerns constellation re-arrangement in a repeated transmission system (such as HARQ) using constellations with three levels of reliability (such as 64-QAM). In an initial transmission each symbol contains bits in a first reliability (e.g. high) position i1q1, bits in a second reliability (e.g. medium) position i2q2 and bits in a third reliability (e.g. low) position i3q3. When the symbols are retransmitted, bits which were originally transmitted in a first reliability position and bits which were originally transmitted in a third reliability position are exchanged, or swapped. The bits which were originally transmitted with a second reliability remain in a second reliability position, but in one embodiment are inverted. Several retransmissions may be required, with each one using a different arrangement of bits from the previous retransmission. For example, four different bit arrangements could be available for use.

In an intermediate position, the first and the second plates 1, 2 are arranged at an angle of less than 90 degrees in relation to each other and define a first position of use for the laptop stand. The leg 3 is formed as a plate 3 which is pivotable between a folded-in position, in which the third plate 3 is essentially parallel to the second plate 2, and a folded-out position, in which it is projecting beyond the second plate 2 to form the mouse plate 3. The third plate 3 being in its folded-out position and the first and the second plate 1, 2 being in the initial position define a second position of use for the laptop stand.
