  • Constrained document layout
    Patent number: 7634723
    Abstract: A description of document elements to be laid out on a page, include two or more hierarchical levels. Each document element is placed at one of the hierarchical levels. Elements at a lower hierarchical level are associated with a document element at a next higher hierarchical level. Page layout according to such a document description may be optimised discretely at different hierarchical levels without affecting constraints.

  • Network
    Publication number: 20060020394
    Abstract: A method of optimising a storage network comprising the steps of: defining a plurality F of flows through a set N of fabric nodes; investigating the cost of establishing some routes through the storage network; and updating a route desirability variable as a function of the cost.

  • Improvements in and relating to printing
    Publication number: 20050206936
    Abstract: Disclosed is a printer (10) for printing images to print media (18), comprising: a sheet feeder (14) for receiving a sheet of print media (18); a memory for storing information related to an image previously printed to the sheet of print media. The printer (10) is operable to print a new image to the print media (18), said image being positioned according to the stored information in the memory, such that the new image is printed at a position on the print media where it does not overlap with the previously printed image.

  • Page composition
    Publication number: 20040177316
    Abstract: A page is composed by establishing an arrangement of objects to be fitted on to the page and then carrying out an iterative process to minimise a cost function dependent on properties of the arrangement. Computational advantages are obtained by describing such arrangements as slicing structures.
