Abstract: A method for controlling the power used by a computer including the steps of measuring the operating characteristics of a central processor of the computer, determining when the operating characteristics of the central processor are significantly different than required by the operations being conducted, and changing the operating characteristics of the central processor to a level commensurate with the operations being conducted.

Abstract: A phase shift generation circuit has an edge detector for generating first and second edge signals indicating first and second edges of an input pulse signal. The circuit comprises a divide by N circuit that divides the frequency of a first clock signal by N. The circuit comprises a pulse counter, which receives the first edge signal and the second clock signal, and outputs a group of signals representing the number of the second clock pulses between occurrences of the first edge signal. The circuit has a first recycling timer that outputs a group of pulses as a uniformly spaced group across the period of the input pulse. The circuit also has a second recycling timer that outputs a group of pulses as a uniformly spaced group across the period of the input pulse. The first and second recycling timers are used to generate a phase shifted output pulse.

Abstract: A method of determining whether a user has complied with a service level agreement (SLA) with a network operator, comprising collecting a set of data values representative of the user's service usage and comparing the set of data values to the service level agreement. The data values collected provide the operator with sufficient information so that it can determine whether a SLA is being complied with and to plan provision of network services. A method of monitoring a user's usage of a network service and a service usage indicator is also disclosed.

Abstract: A phase shift generation circuit has an edge detector, which receives an input pulse signal and outputs a first and a second edge signal denoting the time of occurrence of the first and second edges of the input pulse signal. The circuit also has a divide by N circuit, which receives a first clock signal and a group of signals representing a number N, and outputs a second clock signal, said a second clock signal having a frequency equal to the frequency of said first clock signal divided by the number N. The circuit further comprises a pulse counter, which receives the first edge signal and the second clock signal, and outputs a group of signals representing the number of the second clock pulses between occurrences of the first edge signal. The circuit has a first recycling timer, which receives the number of second clock pulses, the first edge signal and the first clock signal, and outputs a group of pulses approximating a uniformly spaced group across the time duration of the period of the input pulse.
