  • Publication number: 20210332251
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a substrate having (a) a first material applied to at least a portion of the substrate, and (b) a coating layer deposited from a liquid coating composition including a film-forming resin, and optionally a crosslinker that is reactive with the film-forming resin, in direct contact with at least a portion of the substrate to which the first material has been applied. The first material is (i) a catalyst that catalyzes cure of the liquid coating composition, (ii) a component reactive with the film-forming resin and/or the crosslinker of the liquid coating composition, and/or (iii) a rheology modifier.

  • Patent number: 10853006
    Abstract: Human voice activity in proximity to a printing device is detected. Printing of the print job is based on the detected human voice activity. For instance, starting of print job printing can be based on the detected human voice activity. Controlling of print job printing after printing has started can also be based on the detected human voice activity.

  • Patent number: 5664158
    Abstract: A video display engineering and optimization CAD simulation system for designing a LCD display integrates models of a display device circuit, electro-optics, surface geometry, and physiological optics to model the system performance of a display. This CAD system permits system performance and design trade-offs to be evaluated without constructing a physical prototype of the device. The systems includes a series of modules which permit analysis of design trade-offs in terms of their visual impact on a viewer looking at a display.

  • Patent number: 5557557
    Abstract: A method for determining the energy consumption of a processor when executing a program is provided. The method initially selects the processor which will execute the program and then creates a model of energy used by said processor as a function of a plurality of instructions operable by said processor. The program whose energy consumption is to be determined is then executed using the energy model to determine the energy consumption of the program on the processor.
