摘要:
Method and apparatus for automatic production of business forms. An image including character data to be included in the form are projected onto a photoconductive surface of a printing cylinder by a plurality of lasers. Toner, in the form of finely grained powder, is applied to the cylinder and the data is thereafter transferred to the web as it is continuously fed past the cylinder. After transfer of the character data to the web, the image is erased so that a new image may be projected onto the cylinder. As a result, printing is not limited by cylinder size, and a continuously varying image may be transferred to the web. As many as four printing or more cylinders may be arranged in series, each applying one of four primary colors to the web. The composition of the forms and the operation of the press are controlled by pre-selected computer programs.
摘要:
Computer controlled numbering of consecutive business forms is provided for both computer controlled presses and in the form of a retrofit unit for conventional rotary presses. The retrofit unit includes a disk provided with radially oriented metallic strips of predetermined locations on the disk, and mounted on a suitable shaft of the press. The disk cooperates with a stationary transducer mounted, for example, on a stationary press wall to send signals to the control unit to fire the printer.

A method and apparatus for the automatic production of business forms, wallpaper, newspapers or the like from a web of continuous printing material comprises an endless movable belt having at least one printing station. An image is projected to a surface of the belt. The image is transferred to the web of continuous material at the at least one printing station. Immediately after image transfer, the image is erased from the belt so that a remaining portion of the image may be projected onto its surface at the printing station. In this manner the device appears to provide a printing surface of indeterminate length and so is designed without relation to the image to be projected. A plurality of such printing stations may be arranged in series for color printing. Two more printing stations may be associated with one endless belt for printing two or more colors or two sides of the web. Furthermore, the operation of the printing station and associated activities may be controlled by a pre-selected computer program.

摘要:
A framework for performing graphics animation and compositing operations has a layer tree for interfacing with the application and a render tree for interfacing with a render engine. Layers in the layer tree can be content, windows, views, video, images, text, media, or any other type of object for a user interface of an application. The application commits change to the state of the layers of the layer tree. The application does not need to include explicit code for animating the changes to the layers. Instead, an animation is determined for animating the change in state. In determining the animation, the framework can define a set of predetermined animations based on motion, visibility, and transition. The determined animation is explicitly applied to the affected layers in the render tree. A render engine renders from the render tree into a frame buffer for display on the computer system. Those portions of the render tree that have changed relative to prior versions can be tracked to improve resource management.

Disclosed is a system for producing images including an application program interface. The system includes an API and techniques for creating images by defining relationships between filters and images, such relationships programmatically assembled in an object by a cooperative session between a requesting application and a graphics services resource. The system also includes aspects regarding optimization of the programmatically assembled object and techniques for rendering in multi-processor environment.
摘要:
The application programming interface operates in an environment with user interface software interacting with multiple software applications or processes in order to synchronize animations associated with multiple views or windows of a display of a device. The method for synchronizing the animations includes setting attributes of views independently with each view being associated with a process. The method further includes transferring a synchronization call to synchronize animations for the multiple views of the display. In one embodiment, the synchronization call includes the identification and the number of processes that are requesting animation. The method further includes transferring a synchronization confirmation message when a synchronization flag is enabled. The method further includes updating the attributes of the views from a first state to a second state independently. The method further includes transferring a start animation call to draw the requested animations when both processes have updated attributes.

A firearm maintenance system wherein a count for the number of times the firearm is fired is kept and stored in memory that is resident on the firearm. Also installed on the firearm are a shot counter device, including an inertia switch, a communication card, and an extended life battery. An epoxy resin encases the memory, shot counter device, communication card and battery to protect them from detrimental environmental effects. The life of various component parts of the weapon are tracked against the shot count of the weapon and replaced at appropriate intervals. Weapon maintenance is performed by transferring the weapon's data from the weapon's memory to an operator laptop computer wherein an algorithm analyzes the data and advises the operator to take necessary maintenance steps, such as replacing parts that have reached the end of their useful life. After performing such necessary maintenance, the operator makes a maintenance data submission that updates the memory to reflect the maintenance data steps taken. Data is transferred between the weapon and laptop computer via infrared communication such that no electrical connection to the weapon mounted device is necessary to communicate data into or out of the device.

Devices and methods for treating an abdominal incision or hernia are described. An implant for the restoration or prophylactic treatment of an abdominal wall comprises an elongate element and at least one sheet connected to the elongate element along a longitudinal axis of the elongate element. The elongate element is positioned along the line of incision, and the at least one sheet is secured to the abdominal muscles surrounding the incision.
