    摘要: A method of controlling the movement of copy sheets along a copy sheet path by providing a target by a high level controller for the movement of copy sheets within the copy sheet path and controlling movement of copy sheets within segments of the copy sheet path. Movement in each segment is controlled by subcontrollers activating segment drives. Feedback data are conveyed to the high level controller and to other subcontrollers on the movement of copy sheets within segments of the copy sheet path and copy sheet movement is adjusted by the copy sheet drives of selected segments of the copy sheet path in order to achieve the target.

    摘要: A method of control to synchronize the arrival of images and copy sheets at a transfer station by sensing delay of a copy sheet arrival at the transfer station. There is then a determination that the delay of arrival is incapable of being corrected to synchronize with a given image. In response, the control decides to rewrite the given image on the receiving medium or further delay the arrival of the copy sheet, or a combination of rewrite and delay, in order that the arrival of a given image and copy sheet is synchronized.

    摘要: A method and system allows for interactive, distributed job processing, e.g., print job processing, using a network, e.g., the Internet, and self-aware, remote processing equipment. Self-awareness allows the equipment to provide information about its load and status to a system controller such as a system server, either directly or through location servers located near the remote processing equipment. The method and system provide the capability to perform scheduling, routing and bidding on execution of jobs as well as re-routing, re-scheduling, remote proofing and remote processing instruction modification.

    摘要: A variable fluid flow valve is disclosed. The valve can be batch fabricated in two dimensional valve arrays, with all valves in the array being controlled in parallel to achieve high flow rates without increasing response time. Typically, each valve includes a valve housing having an aperture plate defining an elongated aperture therethrough, and an opposing plate positioned in spaced apart relationship to the aperture plate. In one embodiment a flexible film or strip is attached at its first end to the aperture plate and at its second end to the opposing plate. In another embodiment of the invention, the flexible film is attached at only one end and is free to move at the other end. In both types of valves, valve action is provided by using electrodes to variably move the flexible film from an aperture blocking to an aperture non-blocking position. The flexible film may be moved in a continuously variable manner or a discretely variable manner, depending upon the electrode configuration. Binary valves in matrixes may also be used with the elongated opening.

    摘要: Bands of predetectors (92) detect the approach of lines of glyphs (12, 14) within an image being scanned. Linear lines or arrays of glyph detectors (116, 118, 120) are sampled in accordance with the detected approach of lines of glyphs. Each detector array includes a plurality of analog glyph detectors (20, 50) which respond to the presence of glyphs with a characteristic analog output. Preferably, the glyph detectors generate a corresponding analog output of a first polarity or other characteristic in response to glyphs of a first orientation and an output of a second polarity or characteristic in response to glyphs of a second orientation. The analog signals which are characteristic of the detection of a glyph are converted into binary 1's and 0's in accordance with the polarity or other characteristic of the signals. In this manner, glyphs are detected by analog detectors and the information encoded in the glyphs is directly output as a binary signal without computer analysis of the image.

    摘要: A sensor array includes includes multiple sensor elements that each have a collection electrode in contact with a photosensitive layer. The photosensitive layer is configured to produce a detectable response at the collection electrode upon incidence of radiation in a responsive zone of the photosensitive layer. A gate electrode layer is separated from the photosensitive layer by a dielectric layer, with adjustments to voltage applied to the gate electrode layer inducing changes in areal extent of the responsive zone of the photosensitive layer. Changing the size of the responsive zone permits performance of image convolutions for edge detection, data compression, or other Gaussian convolutions by the sensor array, rather than by post-detection electronics.
