摘要:
A printer device receives and stores print-and-hold jobs. If a received print-and-hold job is a peer job, the printer device generates job data for communication to one or more peer printer devices. The printer device may include a print preview function and may provide a user with the ability to print a previewed document at a remote printer device.

The input pixels in an image to be halftoned using error diffusion are dithered using a first type of passband dither. A second type of passband dither may also be added to a thresholding matrix used in halftoning. This second type of passband dither may be the same as the first type of passband dither. In such case, the second type of passband dither is a scaled multiple of the first type of passband dither. The halftoning process may be implemented in an application specific integrated circuit.

A method of selective dithering for enhancing the printability of an image, including receiving input pixels of an original input image and identifying the pixel classification of the input pixels, where the pixel classification characterizes each of the plurality of pixels based, at least in part, on their respective gray values. Thereafter, a dither input is added to at least some of the input pixels to generate a filtered and dithered image, where the strength of the dither input applied to generate the filtered and dithered image is based on the pixel classification. Full dither may be applied for smooth pixels, and little or no dither may be applied for edge pixels.
摘要:
Method for shading an optical sensing element of an optical sensor. Reference values are sequentially obtained of the output signal of the sensing element while relatively moving the optical sensor including the sensing element over a shading reference target. An edge detection filter is applied to each of the reference values obtained in step a) in determining if each of the reference values is or is not from an optical defect on the shading calibration strip. An average is calculated of the reference values obtained while excluding each of the reference values determined to be from any optical defect in calculating the average. The output signal of the sensing element is calibrated to the shading reference target using at least the calculated average.

The present invention relates to providing a printing device which allows for user authentication. The printing device may communicate with the authentication device using universal serial bus (USB) protocol, wherein the printing device contains a universal serial bus (USB) host. User authentication may encompass the provision of valid identifying information or presenting sufficient funds as a condition prior to performing a print job or granting access to data.
摘要:
An imaging device having a removable media interface. The removable media interface can read from and/or write to the removable media. The removable media interface can be directly integrated into the imaging device or in can be indirectly coupled to the imaging device. The removable media can be used to, among other things, update codes on the imaging device, configure the imaging device, provide user authentication, provide access to other information, such as an address book, encryption, personal preferences, and/or documents. Documents or other stored information can be written to the storage device at a remote location or written to the storage device at the imaging device.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing a digital image to reduce moiré artifacts while preserving or improving detailed features. Pixels may be categorized as halftone and/or detail pixels and filtered accordingly. A pixel may be categorized as halftone if intensity values over a first window laid over that pixel vary by less than a first predetermined threshold. A descreen filter may be applied to halftone pixels. The remaining pixels that are not categorized as halftone pixels are analyzed as potential text elements. A PTE may be categorized as a detail pixel if intensity values over a second window laid over that pixel vary by more than a second predetermined threshold. The second window may be smaller than the first window. A sharpening filter may be applied to detail pixels.

An ion implantation apparatus, system, and method are provided for connecting and disconnecting a workpiece holder from a scan arm. A twist head is provided, wherein an electrostatic chuck is operable to be mounted, wherein one or more rotating and non-rotating members associated with one or more of the twist head and electrostatic chuck have one or more dynamic electrical and fluid rotary connections associated therewith. The electrostatic chuck is further operable to be removed from the twist head without disconnecting the one or more dynamic fluid seals.
摘要:
In an array of pixels, a method for segmenting a selected pixel of the array between at least two layers including identifying an N-by-N window centered upon the selected pixel, evaluating at least one pixel in the N-by-N window to determine whether the selected pixel is a potential text element, identifying an M-by-M window centered upon the selected pixel when the evaluation determines that the selected pixel is a potential text element, wherein the M-by-M window is smaller than the N-by-N window, and determining whether the potential text element includes text by comparing at least two pixels within the M-by-M window.
