  • Patent number: 9620082
    Abstract: An example involves identifying a first artifact in an image on a display, the first artifact caused by a first subpixel of a first pixel, determining a type of the first artifact based on a location of the first artifact relative to content of the image, and correcting the first artifact to remove the appearance of the first artifact from the display based on the type of the first artifact.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7308375
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for determining a light output of a light emitting diode (LED) in a scanner. The system includes a processor circuit to execute current control logic to obtain an optimum light output from the LED. The current control logic repeatedly applies increasing or decreasing currents to the LED until a saturation point is identified. This may be accomplished, for example, by comparing two measures of the light output of the LED for two different currents applied to the LED. When a difference equaling a predetermined threshold between the two measures is detected, then the saturation point is identified.

  • Patent number: 7184169
    Abstract: A document, including first and last images therein, is in storage. An image is optically scanned with a scanning mechanism. The optically scanned image is composed as a digital image. The document in storage is output such that the composed digital image is at a predetermined location between the first and the last images of the document.

  • Publication number: 20030214681
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for manipulating data to be faxed. In one arrangement, the system and method pertain to obtaining data to be included in a facsimile document and automatically determining the total number of pages of the facsimile document. By way of example, the data may be obtained from multiple data sources. In other arrangements, the system and method can further pertain to presenting the facsimile document to a user for review prior to the step of facilitating transmission of the facsimile document.

  • Patent number: 6571189
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for calibrating an output from a sensor array in a scanner. The system comprises a processor circuit having a processor and a memory. Stored on the memory and executable by the processor is the scanner calibration logic. The scanner calibration logic comprises logic for determining a minimum dark value for the sensor array, and logic for determining an optimum exposure time of a number of light sources associated with the sensor array. The scanner calibration logic also includes logic for determining a maximum white value for the sensor array at the exposure time, and logic for setting an analog offset based upon the minimum dark value. The scanner calibration logic further comprises logic for setting an analog gain associated with the sensor array based on a sensor output range from the minimum dark value to a maximum white value.
