    摘要: A virtualized storage adapter architecture and method is provided wherein lower level details of the storage adapter architecture are isolated from an operating system and its applications that execute on a virtualization architecture. This isolation may be performed, for example, by providing a virtual storage adapter that is backed by one or more physical storage adapters. The virtual storage adapter may be referenced by a globally unique identifier. For example, the virtual storage adapter may be referenced by a World Wide Node Name (WWNN). In another example, changes may be made to the underlying physical storage configuration without the need for changes in the virtual storage adapter or its interface to an operating system or its applications.

    摘要: A management capability is provided for a virtual computing platform. In one example, this platform allows interconnected physical resources such as processors, memory, network interfaces and storage interfaces to be abstracted and mapped to virtual resources (e.g., virtual mainframes, virtual partitions). Virtual resources contained in a virtual partition can be assembled into virtual servers that execute a guest operating system (e.g., Linux). In one example, the abstraction is unique in that any resource is available to any virtual server regardless of the physical boundaries that separate the resources. For example, any number of physical processors or any amount of physical memory can be used by a virtual server even if these resources span different nodes. A virtual computing platform is provided that allows for the creation, deletion, modification, control (e.g., start, stop, suspend, resume) and status (i.e., events) of the virtual servers which execute on the virtual computing platform and the management capability provides controls for these functions. In a particular example, such a platform allows the number and type of virtual resources consumed by a virtual server to be scaled up or down when the virtual server is running. For instance, an administrator may scale a virtual server manually or may define one or more policies that automatically scale a virtual server. Further, using the management API, a virtual server can monitor itself and can scale itself up or down depending on its need for processing, memory and I/O resources. For example, a virtual server may monitor its CPU utilization and invoke controls through the management API to allocate a new processor for itself when its utilization exceeds a specific threshold. Conversely, a virtual server may scale down its processor count when its utilization falls. Policies can be used to execute one or more management controls. More specifically, a management capability is provided that allows policies to be defined using management object's properties, events and/or method results. A management policy may also incorporate external data (e.g., an external event) in its definition. A policy may be triggered, causing the management server or other computing entity to execute an action. An action may utilize one or more management controls. In addition, an action may access external capabilities such as sending notification e-mail or sending a text message to a telephone paging system. Further, management capability controls may be executed using a discrete transaction referred to as a “job.” A series of management controls may be assembled into a job using one or management interfaces. Errors that occur when a job is executed may cause the job to be rolled back, allowing affected virtual servers to return to their original state.

    摘要: Improved techniques for measuring misalignment between multiple print heads, or between forward and reverse printing for the same print head. Adverse effects of ink bleeding, paper cockling and other ink ejection effects are reduced by superimposingly printed alignment patterns in which less than all pixels of printed portions of the patterns are filled in. Carriage ringing and overshoot effects are reduced by printing the alignment patterns in multiple passes, and preferably with an offset in carriage starting location for each pass. Improved detection of darkest density regions of the superimposingly printed alignment pattern is obtained through detections based on differences between densities rather than absolute values of measured densities.

    摘要: A system and method for turning up a web of paper moving in a tensioned condition across the surface of a rotating reel at the winder of a paper making machine from a first drum to a second drum utilizes a conduit for receiving air from a pressurized air source and having a discharge end through which pressurized air received from the source exits the conduit in an air stream. A stand supports the conduit adjacent the reel for movement between an operative position at which the discharge end is positioned adjacent an edge of the web and a non-operative, out-of-the-way position situated to one side of the reel. A cylinder assembly is connected between the conduit and the stand for moving the conduit between its operative and non-operative positions, and a solenoid valve is connected in-line with the conduit permitting a sudden stream of air to exit the discharge end upon actuation of the valve. When the conduit is positioned in its operative position and the air stream is directed toward an edge portion of the web, the air stream separates the edge portion along a path of separation so that the tension to which the web is exposed subsequently completes severance of the web from the formed path of separation to provide the web with a severed edge extending between the opposite side edges of the web, and so that the severed edge of the web is urged by the air stream toward the second drum for winding thereabout.

    摘要: A printer driver executable in a computer connectable to a driven printer. In response to initiation of a print job, the print driver obtains current status of the printer. Based on the status of the printer, the print driver modifies operational parameters of the printer prior to commencement of the print job, so that the operational parameters are different from default ones of such parameters. In addition, the print driver modifies its own operational sequence based on the printer status, so that the operational sequence of the printer is different from a default sequence without such status information.

    摘要: Printing on a recording medium by lateral scans of a print head in accordance with print data. Content of print data is determined. Then, the print data is printed either with a first lateral scan process using a critical zone at edges in a lateral scan of the print head for printing, or with a second lateral scan process that does not use the critical zone for printing. The first or second lateral scan process is selected based on the print data. Preferably, the critical zone is sized in correspondence with ramp up non-uniformities of a print carriage on which the print head is mounted, so as to accommodate a distance between a point where print degradation due to speed non-uniformities are noticeable to a point where print degradation due to speed non-uniformities are no longer noticeable. The second lateral scan process preferably is a process in which a predetermined margin is inserted into the first lateral scan process. The second lateral scan process is used if print data for a current scan and print data for a previous scan, in at least the critical zone, are continuous print data, thereby alleviating ripple effects for the continuous data. In a case where the print data for the current scan and the print data for the previous scan are not continuous print data, the print data preferably is printed using the first lateral scan process.
