Patent number: 8755056Abstract: A multi-media print includes a decoding module, a configuration memory, and a parameter determination module. The decoding module decodes print job parameters and print job data, and outputs decoded print job parameters including decoded print job media selection parameters and the decoded print job data. The configuration memory stores default configuration parameters. The parameter determination module receives the decoded print job parameters including the decoded print job media selection parameters and the decoded print job data and also receives the default configuration parameters including the default media selection parameters from the configuration memory. The parameter determination module determines the final print job media selection parameters for the print job, utilizing the decoded print job media selection parameters and the default media selection parameters.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2011Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: Codonics, Inc.Inventors: Richard M Edwards, Alan J Gilbert, Gary W Keefe, Peter O Botten

Patent number: 8699054Abstract: A multi-media printer renders an image from a submitted print job. A decoding module receives the submitted print job and extracts a print client indicator from the submitted print job. A mapping module includes a plurality of entries, each of the plurality of entries including the print client indicator and a corresponding job settings file. A parameter determination module receives the at least one print client indicator and compares the print client indicator to the plurality of entries in the mapping module to determine if a matching entry corresponds to print client indicator. The parameter determination module determines if the corresponding job settings file in the matching entry includes at least one media selection parameter.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2003Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Codonics, Inc.Inventors: Richard M. Edwards, Alan J. Gilbert, Gary W. Keefe, Peter O. Botten

Publication number: 20090296540Abstract: A method and apparatus for storing on a portable computer-readable medium, a study comprising at least one medical output produced by a medical modality and formatted in a standard medical format used by specialized computers configured for viewing outputs produced by medical modalities, and optionally labeling the portable computer-readable medium. The method includes receiving a transmission comprising the medical output that is formatted according to the standard medical format, at least temporarily storing the medical output as it is received in a buffer memory to be subsequently stored onto the portable computer-readable medium, and storing the medical output from the buffer memory onto the portable computer-readable medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2008Publication date: December 3, 2009Applicant: Codonics, Inc.Inventors: Alan J. Gilbert, Richard M. Edwards, Stephen N. Mucher, Jeffrey L. Spencer, Gary W. Keefe, Christopher M. Tainer, Garvin Seto, Bret E. Orsburn, Peter O. Botten, Heidi Shaffer

Publication number: 20080122878Abstract: A method and apparatus for recording electronic data onto a portable computer-readable medium to be given to an end user for allowing the end user to review the electronic data in a private setting with a personal computer. The publisher includes a recorder for recording the electronic data on the portable computer-readable medium, an automated feeder for supplying the portable computer-readable medium to the recorder without intervention by an operator, and a user interface presenting the operator with one or more options that the operator can select to enter a command for controlling operation of the publisher. A printer is provided for printing onto a surface of a label at least variable label content that is related to the electronic data that can be retrieved from the computer-readable medium and reviewed by the end user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2006Publication date: May 29, 2008Inventors: Gary W. Keefe, Peter J. Adam, Richard M. Edwards, Peter O. Botten, Alan J. Gilbert, Gary W. Enos, Michael Kolberg, Michael V. Lustig

Patent number: 7264323Abstract: A multi-media printer includes an engine controller, a printhead controller, and a pulse activation table. The engine controller transmits a row of energy values. The printhead controller receives the row of energy values and transmits an activation signal. The activation signal is transmitted based on a comparison of an activating energy level for each pulse position in a pulse stream with the energy values in the row of energy values. Comparison logic performs the comparison and transmits an activation signal if the energy value for the row of energy values is greater than or equal to the activating energy level for the corresponding pulse positions.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2003Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: Codonics, Inc.Inventors: Christopher M. Tainer, Joseph A. Miller, Gary W. Keefe, Peter O. Botten, William F. Stevens, James C. Bias, Jeremy F. Audino
