Abstract: An interactive document processing system includes a display screen that is coupled to a processing device. In addition, the document processing system includes an input device for viewing all or a portion of a hardcopy document on a work surface. The input device generates signals representing the appearance of the hardcopy document from representative electronic data stored in a print memory. In one embodiment, the processing device is connected to the input device to receive the signals, determine the position of a moving indicator relative to the document, and correlate the determined position with the electronic representation of the hardcopy document. The display screen provides information related to user commands that edit and/or select portions of the electronic representation of the hardcopy document.

Abstract: Disclosed is a phase change ink composition comprising a colorant and an ink vehicle, the ink being a solid at temperatures less than about 50° C. and exhibiting a viscosity of no more than about 20 centipoise at a jetting temperature of no more than about 160° C., wherein at a first temperature hydrogen bonds of sufficient strength exist between the ink vehicle molecules so that the ink vehicle forms hydrogen-bonded dimers, oligomers, or polymers, and wherein at a second temperature which is higher than the first temperature the hydrogen bonds between the ink vehicle molecules are sufficiently broken that fewer hydrogen-bonded dimers, oligomers, or polymers are present in the ink at the second temperature than are present in the ink at the first temperature, so that the viscosity of the ink at the second temperature is lower than the viscosity of the ink at the first temperature.

Abstract: An improved nanotip structure and method for forming the nanotip structure and a display system using the improved nanotip structure is described. The described nanotip is formed from a semiconductor having a crystalline structure such as gallium nitride. The crystalline structure preferably forms dislocations oriented in the direction of the nanotips. One method of forming the nanotip structure uses the relatively slow etching rates that occur around the dislocations compared to the faster etch rates that occur in other parts of the semiconductor structure. The slower etching around dislocations enables the formation of relatively high aspect ratio nanotips in the dislocation area.

Abstract: In high speed reproduction apparatus in which closely spaced printed sheets are sequentially fed downstream in a sheet path at a process velocity, a dual inverter system of two independent but cooperative sheet inverters is sheet control gated to receive alternate sheets from the sheet path for inversion in the alternate independent sheet inverters. These dual alternate sheet inverters may advantageously operate at substantially the same sheet velocity as the connecting sheet path, instead of the much higher speed and acceleration/deceleration typical of conventional single inverter systems. This enables less critical higher speed cut sheet handling and thus more reliable faster printing. Yet collated sequential sheet order is maintained. This dual inverter system may be an integral part of a duplex path to provide inversion of sheets for duplex printing of their other sides.

Abstract: The present invention uses a crystalline resin as a binding resin and provides a toner insuring excellent storability of a resulting image, a method of manufacturing the toner, an electrostatically charged image developer containing the toner, and an image forming method. In the electrophotographic toner containing toner mother particles comprising at least a binding resin and a colorant, a main component of said binding resin comprises a crystalline resin with a melting point in the range from 50 to 120° C. and an average volume particle size in the range from 3.0 to 7.5 &mgr;m, while an average value of the BET specific areas of said toner mother particles is in the range from 0.6 to 3.0 m2/g. The electrophotographic toner manufacturing method comprises the steps of coalescing or associating the binding resin particles with colorant particles, and cooling the aggregated particles at the rate of at least 1° C.

Abstract: The pages of a book being held at least partially open may be sequentially automatically turned over from one side of the book to the other by pivoting an elongated arm from one side of the book toward the other and turning over individual pages with a vacuum head pivoting relative to the elongated pivoted arm about a different pivot axis as the elongated arm moves to reduce undesirable forces on the individual book pages being turned over. The vacuum head may initially pivot to bend the edge of an individual page up away from the book, to aid in page separation, and then subsequently differently pivot to help peel the same page gently away from the vacuum head and flip it over onto the opposite side of the book. This may be assisted by moving frictional belts on the vacuum head.

Abstract: A method and system allows for interactive, distributed job processing, e.g., print job processing, using a network, e.g., the Internet, and self-aware, remote processing equipment. Self-awareness allows the equipment to provide information about its load and status to a system controller such as a system server, either directly or through location servers located near the remote processing equipment. The method and system provide the capability to perform scheduling, routing and bidding on execution of jobs as well as re-routing, re-scheduling, remote proofing and remote processing instruction modification.

Abstract: Document retrieval system and method are disclosed which can diminish a gap between the user's retrieval intention in information retrieval and the configuration of a query as well as document representations in database and which permits easy retrieval reflecting the user's retrieval intention. The user enumerates a group of words which the user hits upon, as a primary query. Upon receipt of the primary query, the system estimates relational representations which the words (group) of the primary query can possess, and then makes expansion of the query through a partial coincidence of the relational representations and sample spaces extracted from document data to prepare a query candidate representation group. The expanded query candidate representation group is presented to the user. The user then simply chooses a relational representation candidate in accordance with his or her intention. A retrieval execution query is constituted by the thus-selected representation.

Abstract: An image detection method is disclosed wherein local edge information within an image is utilized for accurately detecting lines and curves of the images. The method can more accurately determine the location and orientation of a pattern and thus provides more reliable image match for pattern detection. A detector is trained off-line with example images resulting in a stored template generated by recording a test pattern similar to a pattern to be tested; anchor lines are identified within said template. Long lines are detected in subsequent test patterns using the disclosed method. The template is rotated and shifted before matching it to the test pattern so that anchor lines align with long lines detected within the test pattern. The template and test pattern are then compared to determine whether there is a match.
