Abstract: Hard imaging devices, humidity control systems and hard imaging methods are described. According to one arrangement, a hard imaging device includes an imaging member comprising a surface and a writing assembly configured to form latent images upon the surface of the imaging member. The hard imaging device also includes a development assembly configured to provide a marking agent to the surface of the imaging member to develop the latent images to form developed images, a transfer assembly configured to transfer the developed images from the surface of the imaging member to media to form a plurality of hard images, and a humidity control system configured to control humidity within a region of the hard imaging device which is adjacent to the surface of the imaging member during the forming and the development of the latent images. Other structure and methods are described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tool and a method for constructing a software application from a model representation. The method first involves reading the model representation before identifying in the model representation a plurality of software modules. The method then identifies a programming language for each one of the plurality of software modules. After identification of the different programming languages, the method compiles each one of the plurality of software modules into machine language using a software compiler. It is to be noted that the software compiler corresponds to the identified programming language. The methods finally links the compiled plurality of software modules into the software application. The tool comprises an interpreting module for identifying a plurality of programming languages in a source code listing and a calling module for compiling the source code listing into machine language.
