Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying and presenting prior findings data in a radiology review workflow, based on natural language processing (NLP) of unstructured radiology report text, are disclosed. In an example, prior findings are generated with operations including: receiving text from a prior radiology report prepared for a patient in a prior radiology study; processing the text with a trained NLP engine to classify discrete prior findings in the prior radiology study that identify observed condition(s) and characteristics of the observed condition(s); and outputting or presenting the prior findings, such as in a radiology review user interface. In an example, the radiology review user interface displays the observed condition(s) and the characteristic(s) of the observed condition(s) to a user (e.g., a radiologist), and can apply sorting, filtering, or grouping based on pathology phrases or attribute words associated with the observed conditions or the characteristics of such observed conditions.

Abstract: What is disclosed is an object holder for retaining an object in a direct-to-object print system and a direct-to-object print system configured to use various embodiments of the object holder of the present invention. In one embodiment, the object holder has a back support configured to slideably traverse a support member positioned parallel to a plane formed by at least one printhead configured to eject marking material on to a surface of an object. A top and bottom arm are attached to the back support. At least one retention bit is attached to each of the top and bottom arms for collectively retaining the object to the object holder.

Abstract: A method by which the target of a toner concentration (TC) sensor can be set up based on the equivalent developability concept without using an expensive patch generator. First, use a black toner area coverage (BTAC) sensor to measure the relative reflectance (RR) of a 100% area coverage developed patch (ROS generated) at a series of development levels (Vem or Vdev) to generate a pseudo development curve and estimate VdO in real-time (VdO is the Vdev level that starts to develop toner onto the photoreceptor belt.) Then, add a nominal delta Vdev to VdO to get the development level (Vdev) needed to generate 100% area coverage gray patch. Finally, using a BTAC sensor to measure the RR level of a 100% area coverage (AC) gray patch, move the target of the TC sensor, and converge the sensor's reading to the sensor's target continuously until the RR level of the gray patch hits the RR target (predefined) within the tolerance range. Thus, the target of the TC sensor is set for the xerographic system automatically.

Abstract: A method of using toner concentration (TC) as an active actuator in the tonal reproduction curve (TRC) controller, so that not only will the TRC controller maintain the TRC of the output, but also all the electrostatic actuators will not diverge, and the toner concentration will be within the latitude range of the xerographic system. The process ensures that the target of the toner concentration (TC) sensor will be changed properly in direction (up/down) and amplitude to compensate the TRC output of the print engine based on either reflective reactance readings and/or the level of the electrostatic actuators.

Abstract: In a hybrid jumping (HJD) or hybrid scavengeless (HSD) development station used in xerography, a control system avoids arcing conditions in a gap between a donor member and an image receptor. In a set-up operation, a series of test patches are produced while incrementing the AC amplitude in the gap. A change in reflectivity of the patches as a function of the AC amplitude in the gap is measured and the actual width of the gap is thus estimated. An accurate estimate of the gap width can then be used in a control algorithm.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided to calibrate a xerographic print engine toner concentration sensor to accurately control the toner concentration to a specified operating target. At least two control patches are imaged onto a photoreceptor. Each patch has a different voltage level where the voltage levels are the difference between the exposure discharge voltage and the developmental roll voltage. The relative reflectivity of each patches is obtained. The latent patches are repeatedly developed at different toner concentrations. The reflectivities of the patches formed at the same toner concentration are combined to obtain a combined reflectivity for that toner concentration. As a result, a toner concentration curve is obtained that has an improved response relative to the toner concentration curves that correspond to each of the individual voltage levels.

Abstract: Attachment apparatus and methods of attachment of a cover to the edge of a horizontal surface will provide a protective and/or a decorative edge. The cover has an outwardly extending step with a groove extending into the surface opposite the cover. This groove has an opening into a wider extension into the step interior. The step is hooked over the top of the horizontal surface, the cover is pressed against the edge of the horizontal surface, and the space above the horizontal surface up to the top of the cover and the groove are filled with mortar, which locks the cover in place and provides a new upper surface. Clips, extending into the groove, can also be used to further secure the cover. If desired, an upper tile and/or a cement backing sheet can also be placed respectively on and/or within the mortar.

Abstract: A safety lock bracket is provided for affixing the end of a door frame header having internal roller tracks to the end of a door jamb over which it is mounted.
