  • Patent number: 12379314
    Abstract: A method includes controlling a gloss channel of a color measurement apparatus to measure a surface gloss of a color sample to generate a gloss value for the color sample. A color channel of the color measurement apparatus is controlled to measure a reflectance spectrum of the color sample to generate a first plurality of reflectance values for the color sample under a first measurement geometry. The first plurality of reflectance values are converted to a second plurality of reflectance values representing the reflectance spectrum of the color sample under a second measurement geometry, different from the first measurement geometry. The converting utilizes an adjustment that is a function of the gloss value.

  • Publication number: 20250244692
    Abstract: An imaging device has a developer roll to provide toner to a photoconductive drum to develop a latent image on the drum for direct transfer to media or an intermediate transfer member. A power supply in communication with a controller sets relative voltages on the developer roll and drum. During transfer of the toner, the imaging device determines a current between the developer roll and drum. In turn, the controller determines a charge and mass of the toner for setting with the power supply an operating voltage on the drum or developer roll. Preventing and reporting toners with insufficient charge are other embodiments.

  • Patent number: 12360231
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses, systems, and methods for radar object classification. A radar classification system may include a number of endpoint units and a base station. Each endpoint unit includes a camera and a radar. The camera may image a scene and the image may be used to establish spatial zones within the scene. The radar may collect point cloud data from one or more objects in the scene. A classifier may determine an identity of the object based on the point cloud data. The base station may collect information such as the identity and location of objects in the scene and relate this information to the spatial zones. For example, objects may be identified as a vehicle, pedestrian, or cycle, and related to zones such as roadway, sidewalk, and crosswalk for the purpose of traffic control.
