Abstract: The present embodiments provide methods for detecting errors and vulnerabilities in software without access to its source code. The method entails extracting functions from dynamically linked applications, determining error return codes and error numbers for the extracted functions, and forming a wrapper using the extracted functions. The wrapper is used to intercept some of the function calls, wherein the intercepted functions are manipulated to fail. The embodiments further relate to an article of manufacture to detect errors. The article of manufacture utilizes an extraction module to extract functions from dynamically linked applications, software to compile error return codes and error numbers for functions, and a wrapper module to form a wrapper with the extracted functions.

Abstract: A method for evaluating the stability of print module registration for a printer creates an innovative test pattern by forming two graphic images from two separate print modules. The graphic images include parallel graphic information and a desired intersection point. The graphic images are printed on by a pixel by pixel basis onto print media from the separate print modules. The resulting patterned image or test pattern is viewed to ascertain alignment based on the desired intersection point.

Abstract: A method of calibrating a printing system is described herein. The method includes imaging a test pattern. The test pattern includes a set of densities. Each density is based on a plurality of exposures which have been randomized thereby forming an imaged test pattern. The method further includes scanning the densities of the imaged test pattern thereby forming a dataset. In one embodiment, the density of the test pattern is made from a thermal dye donor. In another embodiment, the density of the test pattern comprises multiple colors. Then, the method includes analyzing the dataset to identify outlier data. The method then includes calibrating an adjustable density printing system using the polynomial calibration curve.
