Abstract: A technique for estimating energy consumption of a portable electronic device is described. During this energy-estimation technique, the portable electronic device determines hardware-state information for communication subsystems that implement different communication protocols, and software-state information for the communication protocols. Then, using models for the communication subsystems, and the hardware-state information and the software-state information, the portable electronic device estimates the energy consumption. Based on the estimated energy consumption, certain percentages of the battery charge may be allotted for different applications or features, battery-life diagnostics may be improved, and useful information may be provided to a user about the battery drain on their portable electronic device.

Abstract: A method of servicing a request for a document over a computer network includes independently caching portions of pages called blocks. Each block includes a reference to a data source and code that is adapted to access the data source and to format the data accessed from the data source. When a request for a page is received over a computer network, one or more of the plurality of blocks defined in the script of the requested document may be retrieved from a cache memory. Any block that is not found in the cache memory is dynamically generated and a copy thereof is stored in the cache memory. The requested page may then be assembled from the page blocks retrieved from the cache memory and/or the dynamically generated page blocks.

Abstract: The levelling rod (1) for a level determining apparatus (2) has position indications therealong along expressed by barcode symbols (11, 12). At least some of said barcode symbols are colour barcode symbols, the colour serving to encode said position indications. The barcode symbols can be organized in first and second blocks (12, 11) of barcode symbols, each providing a position indication, wherein the length (Ls) occupied along the rod (1) by a first block (12) is smaller than the length (Lb) occupied along the rod by a second block (11), the first blocks thereby providing a finer position indication than the second blocks. The first blocks (12) of barcode symbols can be formed of monochrome and colour bar code symbols, e.g. just one colour barcode symbol and at least one monochrome barcode symbol, while the second blocks (11) can be formed purely of colour barcode symbols. The invention also relates to a level determining apparatus specifically adapted for the above rod, and to a method of using that rod.
