  • Patent number: 8732276
    Abstract: Systems and methods for field data gathering and which provide flexible configuration options for a central office. The system, run from, mobile computing devices, provides a free-flowing data gathering experience while only requiring what the central office needs from the field. The central office can configure the system to accept different types of data by way of different data input means available to the mobile computing device. Only the data needed by the central office need be collected by the mobile device operator. The data format is defined by the central office and is uploaded to each of the relevant mobile computing devices for use by the operators. Once each data set has been collected by an operator, the data package with the data set is scheduled for transmission to the central office once a connection with the central office can be made.

  • Patent number: 5461411
    Abstract: Techniques for achieving high resolution, high-speed gray scale printing with binary spatial light modulators. A spatial light modulator array is divided into subarrays, and the subarrays are illuminated at various levels (510, 512, 514, 516) of a modulated light source. Additionally, each pixel (520) can be divided up into four phases and printed in phase pairs.

  • Patent number: 5461410
    Abstract: A method for gray scale printing combining row integration and pulse width modulation. A spatial light modulator (102) has one line (104) designated to perform PWM within a given line time. Another area of the modulator (106) has lines designated to perform row integration on the print image, allowing for more gray levels. An additional area (108) can be designated to correct for defects in the illumination profile and the printed images.
