摘要： A system and related techniques expose color printing resources to applications, utilities, operating system and other resources, to automatically detect output capabilities as well as to permit integrated print functions which preserve metadata and other context within the printing workflow. According to embodiments of the invention in one regard, a set of applications may invoke or access a print subsystem to transmit one or more image files to a laser, inkjet, dye sublimation or other printer or other output device. According to embodiments of the invention, the print subsystem may interface to a color management engine and/or a non-color image management engine to automatically negotiate a set of enhanced or optimized print parameters, such as gamma correction, white balance correction, media selection or other options or parameters, for instance for color printing on photographic paper. Because those print or other output capabilities may be automatically detected or discovered, those enhanced settings may in many cases be generated transparently, without user intervention. In addition, metadata surrounding the image file including for instance file size, date and time information, editing status, printing status and other parameters may be preserved and made available to print drivers and other levels of resources in the printing chain, in both directions so that context may be consistently preserved and applications may enjoy extensive or complete control over the image printing process.

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 surgical stapler is provided having a cartridge arm for holding staples, an anvil pivotally connected thereto to deform fired staples from the cartridge arm, and a support for substantially preventing anvil deflection during staple firing to help insure proper staple formation. Some supports allow pivoting between the anvil and cartridge arm when in a first position, but prevent or hinder the pivoting action when in a second position. Supports can also be adapted to contact the anvil at a distal position relative to the pivot point between the anvil and cartridge arm. Exemplary structures of supports embodied as one or more links or as a sleeve are described. Methods of use are also discussed.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses for supporting a color management system that processes an image in accordance to a hierarchically-structured policy are provided. The policy may be modeled with a schema in which the policy is organized with a plurality of policy levels. Policy settings at a lower policy level may override policy settings at a higher policy level, which may be inhibited with a lockout mechanism. A user interface supports the capability of a user configuring policy settings through a series of dialog boxes. The dialog boxes are hierarchically organized in accordance with configuration levels, where the configuration levels are associated with the policy levels. The dialog boxes provide a consolidated approach for configuring a color management system by a user. An interface is supported, enabling a component to send inputs to a color management system in order to configure the policy.

摘要： A method and system for controlling gamut mapping algorithm parameters and exposing those parameters as user interface elements to allow users to interactively control the gamut mapping algorithm parameters is provided. A request to modify a user interface is received and a modified gamut mapping algorithm parameter element is loaded into the user interface in response. The request to modify can be a request to modify a pre-existing gamut mapping algorithm parameter element or a format of a corresponding gamut mapping algorithm parameter. User specified requests to adjust gamut mapping algorithm parameter elements are received and color management operations are adjusted in response. A three dimensional representation of a device color gamut can be displayed and modified by a user, and an input image that is being processed by the color management operations is displayed and modified dynamically in response to user specific adjustments.

摘要： A system and related techniques detect and manage the set of rights associated with a componentized electronic document, including to separately protect and manage individual text, graphic, audio, video or other parts of a multimedia presentation. Unlike prior digital asset management platforms which could enforce encryption or other protection simply around the entire object, the invention permits individualized control over separate media components, to permit distribution for example of some parts, such as text passages, while preventing unauthorized access or copying of audio, photographic, video or other files or content. The electronic document may maintain a list of media components and the set of rights associated with each such component, and a content server or other source may apply key encryption or other safeguards to guide the delivery of the overall media object or its parts, for instance to view in a browser, print on a printer or otherwise access, manipulate or output the content.

摘要： A cooling arrangement for an electron collector of an electron beam tube has a plurality of solid dielectric spacers surrounding the corrector with an electrically insulative and thermally conductive dielectric liquid in gaps between the spacers. A water cooling system is arranged in thermal contact with the spacers and the liquid dielectric to provide cooling by water circulation. The cooling arrangement is a hybrid of oil and water cooling systems in which the electrically non conductive oil is arranged in gaps between dielectric spacers, the dielectric spacers provide a support for the surrounding water coolant system and ordinary water may be used to be pumped through the water cooling system.

摘要： A color engine supports extensibility by allowing plug-ins. The color engine transforms an image file associated with a source device for consumption by a destination device. Within the color engine, a device model operates over a device model profile to generate a gamut boundary shell, which describes the range of colors a device is capable of producing. A color appearance model operates over a color appearance model profile to compensate for external viewing conditions. A gamut map model accepts as input gamut boundary shells describing the source device and the destination device, and operates over a gamut map model profile to generate a transform, which is used to transform the image file for consumption by the destination device. The device model profiles and gamut map model profiles may be extended using XML plug-ins, and the device models and gamut map models may be extended using DLL plug-ins.
