摘要:
A method for operating more than one thermal printer adapted to print images by transferring donor material from patches of donor material from a donor ribbon onto a receiver medium, each printer being operable to print images in a manner that exhausts a full donor patch or a fractional donor patch during printing. In accordance with the method, a print order is received and it is determined whether a fractional donor patch set is available for printing at each printer. Portions of the print order are directed to the printers in a pattern that minimizes the number of printers having donor ribbon with a fractional donor patch set available after the printing order has been executed.
摘要:
Thermal printing systems, thermal printers and methods for printing are provided. A print order is received at a printer driving device. The printer driving device forms a set of page data streams. Each page data stream comprises image data representing one image from the print order in a format that can be used by a printer. The printer prints images by transferring donor material for patches of donor material from a donor ribbon onto a receiver medium. The printer is operable to print images in a manner that exhausts a full donor patch set or fractional donor patch set. Printing is performed using donor material from a fractional donor patch set when it is determined at the printer that an image from a page data stream can be printed using a fractional donor patch set and when it is determined that a fractional donor patch set is available for printing.
摘要:
Mechanisms for interferer detection can detect interferers by detecting elevated signal amplitudes in one or more of a plurality of bins (or bands) in a frequency range between a maximum frequency (fMAX) and a minimum frequency (fMIN). To perform rapid interferer detection, the mechanisms downconvert an input signal x(t) with a local oscillator (LO) to a complex baseband signal xI(t)+jxQ(t). xI(t) and xQ(t) are then multiplied by m unique pseudorandom noise (PN) sequences (e.g., Gold sequences) gm(t) to produce m branch signals for I and m branch signals for Q. The branch signals are then low pass filtered, converted from analog to digital form, and pairwise combined by a pairwise complex combiner. Finally, a support recovery function is used to identify interferers.

Representing a face by jointly quantizing features and spatial location to perform implicit elastic matching between features. A plurality of the features are extracted from a face image and expanded with a corresponding spatial location in the face image. Each of the expanded features is quantized based on one or more randomized decision trees. A histogram of the quantized features is calculated to represent the face image. The histogram is compared to histograms of other face images to identify a match, or to calculate a distance metric representative of a difference between faces.

A twine cutting apparatus in combination with an automated grass baler having a twine holding reel for feeding wrapping twine to the baled grass. The apparatus has a pivoted knife arm with a first end structured to cooperate with a cam surface for actuating the knife arm to a cutting position and an opposite end for mounting a twine cutting knife. The twine cutting knife is formed with an elongated, serrated cutting edge extending a distance greater than the radius of the twine holding disc presenting an elongated cutting surface to said twine.

摘要:
An annuloplasty ring holder including a head having an upper surface and an annuloplasty ring receiving surface facing opposite the upper surface. The annuloplasty ring holder also includes means for attaching an annuloplasty ring to the annuloplasty ring receiving surface. The means for attaching an annuloplasty ring to the annuloplasty ring receiving surface may include one or more suture guides operatively associated with the head and configured to position one or more sutures to removably associate an annuloplasty ring with the annuloplasty ring receiving surface. The head may include a central hub and more than one spoke radiating out from the central hub. If the head is thus configured, each spoke will include a portion of the annuloplasty ring receiving surface.
