Abstract: A method is disclosed to provide a DTS machine that is simple to operate and can through human operator control provide economic and competitive throughput speeds as compared to more complex DTS machines utilizing multiple printing tunnels and material handlers. The present method repositions a print carriage and a reconfigures an inkjet printhead bank to accommodate different sizes and shapes of media. The allows for the printing of a single piece of media in a single each printing event, but maintains a printing throughput similar to DTS machines having the capability to print media in parallel printing events. Media is moved from a media loading area on the machine by a single operator into a printing tunnel and then the operator adjusts the angle of the media relative to a reconfigurable array of ink-heads to meet inkjet expression distance requirements.

Abstract: A system is disclosed to provide a DTS machine that is simple to operate and can through human operator control provide economic and competitive throughput speeds as compared to more complex DTS machines utilizing multiple printing tunnels and material handlers. The present invention utilizes a repositionable print carriage and a re-configurable inkjet printhead bank. The printing carriage is vertically positionable and tiltable, and includes a resizable spindle so that varying geometries of print media may be accommodated. The printer prints a single piece of media at each printing event, but maintains a printing throughput similar to DTS machines having the capability to print media in parallel printing events. Media is moved from a media loading area on the machine by a single operator into a printing tunnel and then the operator adjusts the angle of the media relative to a reconfigurable array of ink-heads to meet inkjet expression distance requirements.

Abstract: A vehicle can capture data that can be converted into a synthetic scenario for use in a simulator. Objects can be identified in the data and attributes associated with the objects can be determined. The data can be used to generate a synthetic scenario of a simulated environment. The scenarios can include simulated objects that traverse the simulated environment and perform actions based on the attributes associated with the objects, the captured data, and/or interactions within the simulated environment. In some instances, the simulated objects can be filtered from the scenario based on attributes associated with the simulated objects and can be instantiated and/or destroyed based on triggers within the simulated environment. The scenarios can be used for testing and validating interactions and responses of a vehicle controller within the simulated environment.
