Patent number: 8928935Abstract: A system and method for color accuracy checking is discussed. In one embodiment, areas within a document are selected for color-checking.

Patent number: 7327481Abstract: Conventional obstacles to entry and survival of small graphic-arts service providers are softened—particularly for those businesses that operate as computerized “ASP” enterprises involving wide-area networks—by encouraging small operators to coexist effectively in use of a pivotal network-based service. One key mechanism promoting this capability is a system of optionally mutual links between the pivotal service and the ASPs. The service also counteracts a tendency in the industry to favor wastefully redundant vertical integration. On the other hand, the system also implements the prerogatives of an enterprise (such as a printing-broker ASP) that has an established customer, to closely channel the attention of that customer—but subject, importantly, to being overruled by the customer. Ideally the system is carefully tuned to enable such customer action without unduly pressing the option upon the customer.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2002Date of Patent: February 5, 2008Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Alberto Such, Andrew Mackenzie, Andres Gonzalez

Patent number: 7031021Abstract: While powerful in diffusion at one resolution to print photos at a finer resolution, the invention is not thus limited. It defines superpixels (“spels”) for each desired colorimetric level, generates/receives image data, renders by finding levels for image positions, and prints an image using selected spels. One invention aspect finds a randomized value at each found level and uses the value to select the spel from plural ones for each level. Another aspect derives/maintains a randomized-value matrix; and maps a matrix location to an image position, to select a random value at that location and spel for that position. Another uses the value in common for all planes to select a spel for each plane at the found level—compatible spels for different planes, to coordinate color placement in planes. Another controls defining/selecting for a blue-noise property of spels in aggregate. In another, spels defined for a level vary in value to yield nonintegral color quanta.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2000Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Antonio Lain, Alberto Such, Francisco Guerrero

Publication number: 20040207862Abstract: There is disclosed a format used in a remote proofing system to ensure that a printer device to which a print job is sent, operates within pre-determined calibration criteria for printing an image. Each job file has a job ticket, which defines a plurality of data types, which are to be checked for a printer device which is assigned to perform the printing. The parameters include ink level, environmental conditions (temperature, humidity), and media type. A printer device operates an algorithm to implement checks on the various parameters to determine whether a re-calibration process is required prior to printing an image. By sending a job file having no image data, a calibration of a printer can be achieved remotely, without necessarily printing an image.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2001Publication date: October 21, 2004Inventors: Alberto Such, Andres Gonzalez, Manuel Gonzalez

Publication number: 20040021879Abstract: A method to improve image quality in a printing device by storing in a memory of the printer at least a medium definition for a first medium, in a format which structures data about said first medium; and using the data contained in said medium definition when printing onto said first media. A downloadable media profile (210) for a first medium contains values for a plurality of parameters. A printing device comprises the downloaded media profile (210), firmware components (230) for managing the printing process, passing means (250), responsive to said firmware components (230), for passing data from said profile (210) to said firmware components (230) when printing on said first media.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2003Publication date: February 5, 2004Inventors: Sebastia Castelltort, Alberto Such, Francisco Guerrero

Publication number: 20030174347Abstract: A method of verifying the operation of a printing system, comprising the steps of: transmitting from a data processing device to the printing system a message comprising data identifying a plurality of processes associated with a corresponding print job and further comprising process requirements associated with the plurality of processes; verifying at the printing system that the plurality of processes are processable, without printing image data corresponding to the print job; and, communicating to the device the result of the verification step.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2003Publication date: September 18, 2003Inventors: Manuel Gonzalez, Alberto Such

Patent number: 5864692Abstract: A computer system includes a CPU for executing conventional instructions and speculative instructions, and a memory controller coupled to a system bus. In response to an access operation by one of the instructions, the CPU generates a speculative instruction bit and a corresponding access address. The access address represents a location in a global address space which includes a first address space and a second address space. The speculative instruction bit is asserted when the corresponding access address is generated by a speculative instruction. The memory controller discards the access operation when the speculative instruction bit is asserted and the access address is in the second address space. Thus, the speculative instruction is prevented from accessing the second address space. In one embodiment, the computer system includes a memory coupled to the system bus and mapped to the first address space, and an I/O device coupled to the system bus and mapped to the second address space.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1996Date of Patent: January 26, 1999Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Paolo Faraboschi, Alberto Such-Vicente
