Abstract: A method includes: navigating a spray nozzle across and applying a coating to a region of a structure via the spray nozzle; illuminating the coating applied to the region; detecting an intensity of light emitted by the coating at the region; calculating a coating thickness of the coating applied to the region of the structure based on the intensity of light; in response to the coating thickness exceeding a threshold thickness, confirming application of the coating on the region of the structure; in response to the coating thickness falling below the threshold thickness, flagging the region of the structure for coating repair.

Abstract: Systems and methods for varying dye loads. A fluid ejection apparatus includes a reservoir and an assembly. The reservoir stores ink with a first dye load and the assembly receives the ink with the first dye load from the reservoir. To obtain ink with higher dye load, the assembly evaporates a portion of the liquid solvent in the ink to obtain ink with a higher dye load.

Abstract: The present invention provides a first pixel array and a second pixel array disposed along an optical path. The first pixel array is adapted to generate an image. The second pixel array is adapted to adjust an output luminescence of the image.

Abstract: A method for improving the quality of printing processes involving black pixel depletion by printing composite ink in pixel spaces where a black pixel depletion process leaves unfilled pixel spaces. Black pixel depletion data are employed (for example, a depletion mask is inverted) to generate a composite printing mask which designates pixel spaces which are candidates for being filled in with a composite ink. In a preferred embodiment, edge pixels of black fill areas are excluded from the candidate pixels. In a preferred embodiment, the white pixel spaces are filled in by printing a plurality of different colored inks (e.g., cyan/magenta/yellow or cyan/magenta) within these unfilled pixel spaces. In a preferred embodiment, the composite printing mask additionally serves as an under/overprinting (UOP) map.
