A system for managing consumption of power supplied by an electric utility to power consuming devices includes at least one client device and a server. Each client device operates at least partially responsive to control messages received from the server and controls operation of one or more controllable devices. Each controllable device selectively enables and disables a flow of power to one or more of the consuming devices. The server stores information, on a per client device basis, relating to power consumed by the consuming devices. When a power reduction is requested by the utility, the server selects, based on client device information stored in the database, at least one client device to which to issue a power reduction message that indicates at least one of an amount of power to be reduced and an identification of a controllable device to be instructed to disable a flow of power.

A streaming measurement agent designed to experience, measure, and report on a media stream as an actual end user would experience the stream. Preferably, agent resides transparently within a streaming media player itself so that it can monitor stream packet flows within the player as the measured streams are being played. In an illustrative embodiment, the agent comprises a performance monitoring module (PMM), which is software that resides in an interface between an existing core module and a renderer of a media player. The agent PMM intercepts each useful packet as it goes from the core to the renderer and, as a result, it is able to compute quality metrics about the playback. The agent functions “transparently” to the media player by presenting the core with an application programming interface (API) that emulates the API that the renderer normally presents to the core. Thus, when the core believes it is calling the renderer, it is actually calling the agent PMM, which can then receive all the packets from the core and process them. After computing relevant performance metrics using the packets it receives, the agent PMM calls the renderer. A set of performance agents can be managed by a service provider to enable a content provider to determine how a stream is perceived by end users.

A WAP Charging Gateway, and a method and system, for arranging transaction-based billing for WAP services in a telecommunication system that includes a telecommunication network, a terminal device connected to the telecommunication network and used for accessing WAP services, a WAP Gateway connected to the telecommunication network, a content provider of WAP services connected to the WAP Gateway, a billing log file, a transaction manager for recording transactions associated with billable services and generated from different WAP protocol levels in the billing log file, and reading devices for reading the billing log file. Transactions associated with billable services, generated from different WAP protocol levels, are written to the billing log file and are read from the billing log file (LOG). The transactions in the billing log file are converted into a readable form. First rules are applied to the converted transactions to generate and store predefined transaction parameters, and second rules are then applied to the stored transaction parameters for generating chargeable transactions therefrom.

A computer implemented method and system for verifying tax liability and tax deductions reported by taxable entities. A tax monitoring platform comprising a database management system dynamically generates one or more tax forms specific to each taxable entity based on characteristic information of the taxable entities. The tax monitoring platform acquires tax information filled into the tax forms by the taxable entities via a user interface, extracts tax elements from the tax information, and transforms the tax elements to conform to a predetermined template. The tax monitoring platform determines an association between a first taxable entity and a second taxable entity based on the tax elements of each of the taxable entities, and compares the tax elements of the first taxable entity with the tax elements of the second taxable entity based on the association using the database management system, for determining the accuracy of reporting of tax information.

A method is provided for the precise reporting of errors in a flow of successive messages. The method includes detecting a transmission error in a message and then deferring the reporting of the transmission error. The method defers the reporting of the transmission error by saving a sequence number for the message and by setting a deferred error flag in a state saved for the flow. The method processes the deferred transmission error when it receives an acknowledgement that completes an immediately preceding message in the flow. When a positive acknowledgement is received, the deferred transmission error is reported. When a negative acknowledgement is received, the deferred transmission error is ignored and a remote error is reported.

Systems, methods, and programs distribute traffic information including information on a wrong-way vehicle traveling in a wrong-way direction opposite to a designated travel direction of a road. The systems, methods, and programs distributes the traffic information to the target vehicle, determine a reporting range of the wrong-way vehicle information based on a wrong-way vehicle position. When an end-point distance is equal to or larger than a predetermined reference distance, the systems, methods, and programs set a wrong-way section as the reporting range. When the end-point distance is less than the reference distance, the systems, methods, and programs set the wrong-way section and at least one road section which is adjacent to the wrong-way section as the reporting range. When the target vehicle is in the reporting range, the systems, methods, and programs send the traffic information including the wrong-way vehicle information to the target vehicle.

The present invention relates to a mobile station of Global Position System (GPS) for a rubber-tiered gantry crane (RTG), and it mainly comprises one or two GPS receiver(s), a radio receiver, two crane encoders, a control processor, and a programmable logic controller (PLC). The mobile station adopts Real Time Kinematics (RTK) technology of the GPS, and gets a high precision coordinates of three dimensions, then sends it to the control processor and gets the current crane position of the RTG and the offset between crane wheel and the central line of crane runway. At the same time, the control processor receives and calculates the signals sent by the crane wheel encoders, and checks up and reckons the crane position and the crane wheel offset, converts it to a 4-20 mA current signal by a digital-analog converter (D/A) or transfers it to the PLC directly by a serial port, and complete the crane auto-steering function; on the other hand, the control processor calculates the crane position and transfers it to the PLC via the serial port, completes the auto-register of the container management. The present invention can make the RTG keep agility with in moving from one yard to another, and can also make it work stable and reliably like a rail gantry crane and report the accurate container positions. Thus, the container management is made to be highly automotive.

A method and system for permitting nonsequential instruction dispatch in a superscalar processor system which dispatches sequentially ordered multiple instructions simultaneously to a group of execution units on an opportunistic basis for execution and placement of results thereof within specified general purpose registers. Each instruction generally includes at least one source operand and one destination operand. A plurality of intermediate storage buffers are provided and each time an instruction is dispatched to an available execution unit, a particular one of the intermediate storage buffers is assigned to any destination operand within the dispatched instruction, permitting the results of the execution of each instruction to be stored within an intermediate storage buffer. An indication of the status of each instruction is maintained within a completion buffer and thereafter utilized to selectively transfer results within the intermediate storage buffers to selected general purpose registers in an order consistent with an application specified sequential order. The occurrence of an interrupt which prohibits completion of a selected instruction can therefore be accurately identified within the completion buffer.
