Abstract: A system, method and computer program product, for distributing content over a terrestrial broadcast channel including a broadcast station configured to transmit over the terrestrial broadcast channel a television signal including encrypted updated content information, distributed at least one of nationally and locally, and television information to all users within a broadcast coverage area; and an apparatus pre-configured to include encrypted predetermined content information stored therein prior to acquisition of the apparatus by a user and configured to: receive over the terrestrial broadcast channel the television signal, extract the encrypted updated content information from the television signal, store the encrypted updated content information in the apparatus, decrypt the updated encrypted content information and the encrypted predetermined content information, and provide on demand at least one of the decrypted updated content information and the decrypted predetermined content information in a forma

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for scanning and vectorizing artwork in which a grid is applied to photoplot artwork. Preferably the grid is automatically created from the scanned image of the artwork using the centerline of each line and the center of each pad in the artwork. The methods and apparatus also determine the rotation or skew of the artwork and adjust the image to compensate for any skew that is found. Grid spacing is determined from frequency plots of the artwork which show the number of lines and points that appear in each row of pixels and in each column of pixels. Fourier analyses of the frequency plots give the grid spacing.
