摘要:
A hover-capable flying machine (100) such as a drone includes a robotic arm (120) extending from the body (110), and an instrumentality for balancing the machine in response to disturbances such as those caused by picking up and dropping of the payload by the extended robotic arm (120). In embodiments, the end of the arm (120) is equipped with a balancing rotor assembly (140) that may provide lift sufficient to counteract the weight of the payload and/or of the arm (105). In embodiments, the machine's power pack is shifted in response to the disturbances. The power pack may be moved, for example, on a rail within and/or extending beyond the machine in a direction generally opposite to the extended arm (120). The power pack may also be built into a bandolier-like device that can be rolled-in and rolled out, thus changing the center of gravity of the machine.

The present invention pertains to improved communication quality in cellular communication networks (10) and the like. A customer has the option to pay different amounts for different tiers of service relating to voice quality and bandwidth access (S102). Higher service tiers may guarantee that a specific vocoder or bit rate is used. Different tiers may be associated with customers' records (208) for billing purposes. The network (200) may also afford high end cellular phones higher voice quality by comparing a given high end phone to a look up table (FIG. 6) which indicates what level of service is associated with the given phone. A calling mobile station (312) or a receiving mobile station (302) may case the other mobile station to change to a more robust vocoder (410) or bit rate (S508) to ensure a higher quality phone call. Furthermore, the user may also opt to change the quality level before or during a call.
