摘要： In a described implementation, a production device, such as a computer, produces a shared resources container that includes shareable resources. Each resource of the shared resources container includes a part name and corresponding data. The production device downloads the shared resources container to a utilization device. The production device also formulates a job container, such as a print job. The production device analyzes resource usage of the job container during processing thereof. If a resource relevant to the job container is included in the shared resources container, the resource is excluded from the job container in lieu of a resource reference that is insert therefor. The production device also downloads the job container to the utilization device. At the utilization device, the job container is processed using the resource reference. Specifically, the resource reference is used to retrieve the associated resource from the shared resources container.

摘要： A system and related techniques generate printing and other output operations via a resolution-independent visual tree object. According to embodiments the operating system or other resource may receive the visual tree object and related data from applications or other sources, and perform logic to scale or process the visual output for resolution, effects or other purposes directly from that object. The operating system or other resource itself may be configured to receive the componentized visual tree object and condition or render that object for output to a printer, facsimile machine, copy machine or other output device. The operating system may serialize or spool that object from the source object in native form, relieving applications of the need to prepare documents or other output objects to generate specified resolutions, effects or to adapt the output to specific output drivers.

摘要： A color characterization profile format and data structure are provided for allowing a color management solution to convert colors into or out of a color space. The color characterization profile format contains a color management measurement data portion and a container that is configured to provide digital rights management capabilities over the color characterization profile format. The container can include linked and embedded objects and extensible markup language. Further, the container can be an advanced systems format container. The container can be configured to perform different functions, including enabling private data extensions, operating interface description language, storing a rendering intent separate from the color management measurement data portion, the ability to be edited by a text editor application, operability across a plurality of operating platforms, and preventing a user from tampering with the color characterization profile format.

摘要： Described is a surgical instrument, such as an endoscopic instrument having at its distal end a working element such as a dissector, scissor or grasper, a shaft that defines a longitudinal axis of the instrument at a handle portion at the proximal end. The shaft rotates about the handle portion of the instrument. The endoscopic instrument also provides for angulation or articulation of the end effector with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The angulation is accomplished by providing two four bar linkage assemblies connecting the handle portion and the distal end portion of the instrument. A torsion bar provides support to the four bar linkage assembly and provides a lumen for accepting a control cable for actuating the working element.

摘要： An image processing system provides a single interface between the application program and the operating system, through which all image processing services are accessed. This interface includes a dispatcher which directs a call for a particular image processing function, as well as calls that require color matching, to the appropriate components which perform the desired services. Various functions such as color modeling, image compression, image format translation, and standard image processing are available to all application programs through the computer's operating system, in addition to color matching. This approach supports such operations as process scripting and hardware acceleration, to thereby enhance the features and efficiency of functions that are available to the user.

摘要： A method and apparatus for editing color LUTs that are utilized for converting color data from a first display device having a corresponding first color space to a second display device having a corresponding second color space is described. The method of the present invention includes initially displaying on an editor display screen, a graphical representation of a first draft of a previously created color LUT. The graphical representation of the previously created table is embodied as a lattice structure, where each element in the lattice structure represents one or more color values stored in the color LUT. Also displayed on the editor display screen is a set reference images and a set of sample images. The reference images represent the appearance that the user wants the color image to look like on the second display device. Initially, sample images reflect the manner in which the reference image would be displayed on the second device when processed through the previously created color LUT. In an editing session, the user has the ability to edit the manner in which the sample image will appear on the second display device by moving elements within the graphical representation thereby causing corresponding changes in the previously created color LUT. After making the changes to the graphical representation, the sample images are again generated by processing the color data for the reference image through the edited color LUT. The editing session continues, i.e. manipulating the graphical representation, until the color table has been edited such that the sample images appear to have the same color as the reference images.

摘要翻译： 描述用于编辑用于将具有相应的第一颜色空间的第一显示装置的颜色数据转换为具有对应的第二颜色空间的第二显示装置的颜色LUT的方法和装置。 本发明的方法包括首先在编辑器显示屏幕上显示先前创建的色彩LUT的第一稿的图形表示。 先前创建的表的图形表示被实现为格子结构，其中格子结构中的每个元素表示存储在颜色LUT中的一个或多个颜色值。 编辑器显示屏幕上还显示了一组参考图像和一组样本图像。 参考图像表示用户希望彩色图像在第二显示设备上看起来像的外观。 最初，样本图像反映了当通过先前创建的颜色LUT进行处理时参考图像将在第二设备上显示的方式。 在编辑会话中，用户能够通过在图形表示内移动元素来编辑样本图像将出现在第二显示设备上的方式，从而导致先前创建的颜色LUT的相应变化。 在对图形表示进行更改之后，通过编辑的颜色LUT处理参考图像的颜色数据，再次生成样本图像。 编辑会话继续，即操纵图形表示，直到颜色表被编辑，使得样本图像看起来具有与参考图像相同的颜色。

摘要： An approach for presenting a web page to a client user via a web browser. As one example, a user preference specifying a notification setting may be received from the client user at the web browser. The notification setting may cause the web browser, upon retrieving a web page, to present one or more of a privacy notice or a legal notice to the client user. The particular way in which the privacy notice and the legal notice are presented to the client user may be varied based on the notification setting specified by the user preference.

摘要： A system and related techniques generate a unified representation of graphical representations, such as documents, graphic images or others, for displaying on a display screen, printing on a printer, faxing via a facsimile machine or outputting in other ways. In embodiments a media integration layer, which may reside in the operating system level, may generate renderings from graphics primitives, and send that rendering via a mediation engine to a device driver, for instance a print engine located in a printer. The device engine may return a preview of the output representation to the media integration layer for adjustments or to accept and print the output, all without a necessity for or reliance upon a device-specific driver in the operating system. Since both the display screen and the output device operate off of the same base representation, neither the display nor output device needs to attempt to emulate the output characteristics of the other, and screen-to-print uniformity may be enhanced.

摘要： The present invention provides method and apparatus for supporting a legacy application programming interface (API) set between a component and a color management system. The legacy API set supports both the new capabilities as well as the legacy capabilities. The color management system determines the format type for an object that is referenced by an API call. If the object is associated with a legacy format, the API call is processed by a legacy processing module. If the object is associated with an advanced format, the API call is processed by an advanced processing module. If a plurality of objects is associated with an API call with mixed formats, the color management system converts some of the objects so that the objects have a consistent format. A common structure supports an object that may have either a legacy format or an advanced format.
