  • Thermal printing method
    Patent number: 7190385
    Abstract: Method of generating a sharpened image in a thermal printer having an internal thermal model module that converts input values into power values for each element of a thermal head and for each printing cycle. Input values to be fed into the internal thermal model are obtained by mathematically simulating the behavior of the printer.

  • Photostimulable phosphor read-out apparatus
    Publication number: 20010017356
    Abstract: A read out apparatus is disclosed for reading a radiation image. The apparatus has an array of imaging elements for detecting the radiation image and for converting the image into a charge representation . Charge integrating means are coupled to the array of imaging elements for integrating a detected amount of charge The charge storage capacity of the charge integrating means is adjusted in accordance with the expected charge amount.

  • Multi-beam system with beam control using an electrostatic voltage sensor
    Patent number: 6100907
    Abstract: A multi-beam scanning system has a beam control using an Electrostatic Voltage Sensor or an Image Density Sensor on the Organic Photoconductor. The laser beams can be attuned according to the voltage or density results. This results in a more reliable system as compared to the use of one or more photodetectors.
