Reduce utility bills

In economics, a consumer’s indirect utility function
<math>v(p, w)</math> gives the consumer’s maximal utility when faced with a price level <math>p</math> and an amount of income <math>w</math>. It represents the consumer’s preferences over market conditions.

This function is called indirect because consumers usually think about their preferences in terms of what they consume rather than prices. A consumer’s indirect utility <math>v(p, w)</math> can be computed from its utility function <math>u(x)</math> by first computing the most preferred bundle <math>x(p, w)</math> by solving the utility maximization problem; and second, computing the utility <math>u(x(p, w))</math> the consumer derives from that bundle. The indirect utility function for consumers is analogous to the profit function for firms.

Formally, the indirect utility function is:

• Non-increasing in prices, because an increase in prices cannot open up an available bundle that would provide more utility;
• Non-decreasing in income, because when income rises, at worst you could consume the same bundle;
• Homogenous with degree zero in prices and income; if prices and income are all multiplied by a given constant the same bundle of consumption represents a maximum, so optimal utility does not change.

Indirect election is a process in which voters in an election do not actually choose between candidates for an office but rather elect persons who will then make the choice. This process is used in many union elections and sometimes in professional, civic, and fraternal organizations, as well as in the election for President of the United States.

In the United States, the President is elected indirectly. Voters elect a slate of candidates for the Electoral College, which in turn elects the President. A similar process has been used in the past in emerging democracies, i.e., South Korea and the Republic of the Philippines, but it was soon dismantled in favor of direct election. Only in the United States has a process of indirect presidential election persisted for over two centuries. The Senate was elected by the legislatures of the states until 1913, when the Seventeenth Amendment instituted direct elections.

In France, election to the upper house of Parliament, the Sénat, is indirect, the electors (called “grand électeurs”) being local elected representatives.

Prime Ministers are elected indirectly in parliamentary systems. While members of the parliamentary body are elected directly, it is their votes, usually cast for their party leader, which determine who becomes Prime Minister. However, a Prime Minister is more a representative of the parliament, a primus inter pares (first among equals), who has just one vote, just like any other member of parliament, and therefore does not have the power that presidents have. Such a system tends to make all elections more about national issues than is generally the case in the U.S., where it is very commonplace for some districts routinely to vote, often by a large majority, for a Presidential candidate from one party and a member of Congress from the other. Then again, a parliamentary system usually also has separate elections for lower governments (such as city or province). So the same system may be used at different independent levels, possibly even with different parties.

An indirect ophthalmoscope is an instrument designed to view the retina of the eye.

It consists of a head-mounted lightsource, and a powerful lens (+20 Dioptres usually) held in the hand.

The patient is positioned so that the patient’s eye, the lens and the observer’s eye are in a straight line.
The instrument is used to diagnose various retinal pathologies like retinal detachment etc, and also to treat them.
