  • Patent number: 9734570
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing remote approval of an image for printing are provided. One system includes a processing circuit in communication with an image capturing device that is configured to capture an image of a printed product. The processing circuit is configured to process the captured image into a processed image accurate to within a tolerance in a color space to indicate the visual appearance of one or more colors. The color space is a standardized color space, such as sRGB or CIELAB. The processing circuit is further configured to transmit the processed image to a display located remote from the image capturing device and to receive an input signal from a remote input device to allow a user to approve or reject the displayed processed image for printing on a print device.

  • Patent number: 9456258
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques to minimize the electricity consumption of battery powered devices during network communications and performance of other functions. Example techniques include efficiently discovering other mains powered and battery powered devices within communication range of the battery powered device. In another example, techniques enable a battery powered device to serve as a relay for one or more other battery powered devices. In another example, techniques ensure that transmissions to and/or from battery powered devices are delivered efficiently and with low latency. In yet another example, techniques determine whether and under what conditions a battery powered device should migrate from one network to another. In the event of migration, example techniques minimize battery consumption associated with the migration.

  • Patent number: 9356831
    Abstract: A node may be configured for operation in an intelligent network environment, wherein the node communicates via different modes of communication. The node selects a first mode of communication (e.g., mesh network mode). The node communicates via the first mode of communication. In response to determining a first condition (e.g., interference), the node selects a second mode of communication. The node then communicates via the second mode of communication. In response to determining a second condition (e.g., interference ceases), the node selects the first mode of communication and communicates via the first mode of communication.

  • Patent number: 8437041
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing imaging on print devices are provided. One system comprises a processing circuit in communication with an image capturing device. The image capturing device is configured to capture an image of at least a portion of a printed product of a web or offset print device and output at least one signal representative of the captured image. The processing circuit is configured to receive the at least one signal representative of the captured image and an input signal representative of a print parameter change and to determine a change to the captured image representative of how the captured image would be printed on the web or offset print device with the print parameter change represented by the input signal.

  • Publication number: 20120188079
    Abstract: A night light that transitions between at least two states to provide a visual indication to a child as to whether it is time for the child to get out of bed or that the child should stay in bed. The night light shows an illuminated sun to indicate that the child can get out of bed. The night light shows an illuminated moon with a border of Z's to indicate that the child should stay in bed. The transitions between modes are based on information entered into a user interface, the current time, and/or the actuation of buttons on the device.
