Abstract: A system including a communication interface, a memory, and a processor. The communication interface is configured to receive data. The memory is divided into a first retention region and a second retention region, wherein the first retention region is configured to store data for a first predetermined period of time, and the second retention region is configured to store data for a second predetermined period of time. The processor is configured to i) initially store, within the first retention region of the memory, the data that is received, and ii) in response to the data that is received having been stored in the first retention region of the memory for a time limit that exceeds the first predetermined period of time, transfer the data that is received from the first retention region of the memory to the second retention region of the memory.

Abstract: Various techniques are described for acoustically exciting a toner cartridge and acoustically measuring an amount of ink or toner in a toner cartridge by using known resonant shaping structures built into the toner cartridge. As ink or toner is consumed, a resonant shaping structure covered by the ink or toner is partially revealed, changing an acoustic signature received from the toner cartridge. A current level of ink or toner is determined by analyzing the acoustic signature. The current level is used to calibrate a relationship function used to estimate a remaining number of pages that can be printed based on the level of ink or toner remaining in the toner cartridge.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention includes a method of associating a file with an intellectual asset record. The method includes reading information such as the file name and metadata pertaining to a file. The file name has a predetermined format made up of fields. The fields in the file name and the metadata are extracted. Based upon the fields, the file is linked to intellectual asset record. The intellectual asset record includes a set of related data organized into meaningful units pertaining to an intellectual asset.

Abstract: A controller for scaling an input image is provided. The controller selects a pixel neighborhood that includes a plurality of pixels neighboring a pixel. The controller compares at least part of the pixel neighborhood to a pattern. If the pattern is present in the pixel neighborhood, the controller applies a scaling algorithm to at least a portion of the pixel neighborhood in order to obtain a scaled image. The controller also selects another pixel neighborhood that includes a plurality of pixels neighboring a pixel in the scaled image, and compares at least part of the another pixel neighborhood to another pixel pattern. If the another pixel pattern is present in the another pixel neighborhood, the controller applies a correction algorithm to at least a portion of the another pixel neighborhood in order to obtain a processed scaled image.
