  • Patent number: 10970876
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for implementing image locating relative to a global structure. The method generally includes mapping one or more close-up images of a structure to a 3D model of the structure, and indicating, on an overview image of the structure, the location of the one or more close-up images based on the mapping.

  • Patent number: 9996767
    Abstract: Methods for analyzing a chart using an electronic computing device are presented, the methods including: causing the electronic computing device to receive a chart image corresponding with the chart, the chart image having recorded chart data; analyzing the recorded chart data, where the analyzing returns at least measurement values corresponding with the recorded chart data; and returning volumetric results of the processing to a user. In some embodiments, the recorded chart data corresponds with data selected from the group consisting of: temperature data, differential pressure data, and static pressure data. In some embodiments, the chart corresponds with a chart integration device or a chart recorder. In some embodiments, methods further include: capturing the chart image with a mobile image capture device.

  • Patent number: 9841868
    Abstract: Methods for providing a user with a user configurable user interface (UCUI) for a software application using an electronic computing device are presented, the methods including: causing the electronic computing device to receive a number of input fields corresponding with the UCUI from the software application; selecting any of the number of input fields for display on the UCUI; arranging the selected input fields by at least one group, where each of the selected input fields each correspond with at most one group at a time; arranging the at least one group for display on the UCUI; and displaying the UCUI, where the UCUI displays at least the at least one group and the corresponding selected input fields.

  • Patent number: 5734800
    Abstract: A printing system for high fidelity printing of an image is provided comprising a print grid including a combination of the color black and five discrete basic ink colors, at least three colors having at least a portion of fluorescent. The printing system includes a spectrophotometer for measuring the color combination in the print grid. A plotter is used to plot readings from the spectrophotometer in CIE color space and creates a look up table based on the readings. A scanner then scans the image in RGB format and converts the scanned information into XYZ coordinates to be plotted in CIE color space. Thereafter, the scanner determines from the look up table the color combination for each scanned spot. In an exemplary embodiment, the five basic ink colors may be selected from a group of colors from the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM.RTM., while the fluorescent may be selected from a group consisting of PANTONE Fluorescents.

  • Patent number: 4015524
    Abstract: Preparatory to a printing run, a printed sample, i.e. proof, is produced on a proofing press using the ink and paper substrate contemplated for the printing run so that the printing quality, ink color, and other such aspects can be studied and, if need be, any adjustments made. In the within improved proofing press, the ink film to be tested is transferred from a driven roller to a similarly driven roller carrying the test paper substrate by a pivotally traversable ink-transfer surface of an elastomeric construction material, such that said driven rollers are each powered in rotation at a selected speed simulating the printing speed of the contemplated printing run, and the extent to which the elastomeric transfer surface is allowed to be compressed permits effective simulation of the contemplated printing run printing pressure. Accordingly, the proof sample of the within proofing press contributes to a more accurate forecast of the printing quality, etc. of the contemplated printing run.
