Abstract: Automatic photo-album layout methods create printed pages by assigning each image in an ordered series of images to a position on one of several rows (or positions in one of several columns). Images in each row (or each column) are scaled so that the widths of the rows (or the heights of the columns) are equal, while the heights of the rows (or the widths of the columns) are unequal. The rows or columns form a rectangle, which is centered in a rectangular drop zone, and a physical page is printed containing the array of images as arranged and scaled. Other transformations may be applied to the images, the rows or columns, or the array of images in the drop zone prior to printing.

Abstract: A composite product and forming system are provided. In another aspect of the present invention, multiple layers of fiber, prepreg sheets are employed with an internal air channeling sheet to create a composite or laminate product. A further aspect of the present invention uses compression molding to form composite parts made from prepreg sheets.
