  • Publication number: 20230190151
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods that may utilize an analyte sensor system comprising a sensor enclosure; an analyte sensor extending from the sensor enclosure; and sensor electronics positioned within the sensor enclosure. The sensor electronics may be configured to detect that a wireless signal has changed from a first state to a second state, where the wireless signal may be provided through the sensor enclosure. After detecting that the wireless signal has changed from the first state to the second state, the sensor electronics may monitor whether the wireless signal remains in the second state for at least a stability threshold time period. The sensor electronics may execute a responsive action in the sensor system based at least in part on whether the wireless signal remains in the second state for at least the stability threshold time period.

  • Patent number: 6346991
    Abstract: A technique for making multiple copies that includes the steps of scanning a scan region that contains the image to be copied to produce an array of scan region pixel data that contains pixel data for the entire scan region; printing an image based on the array of scan region pixel data; processing the scan region pixel data to determine a subregion of the scan region that contains printable, non-background information; scanning the subregion of the scan region and providing to a print buffer print data only for the subregion of the scan region that contains printable, non-background information; and printing an image based on the subregion print data.

  • Patent number: 6176566
    Abstract: An image that includes black-and-white text—from which most chromatic-colorant data in text areas have already been stripped—is enhanced by removing all chromatic-colorant data from a region of the image data array, independent of object type. Removal occurs only if color-data conditions are met; the data array is then applied to print the image. The system includes storage and automatic retrieval of instructions for automatically evaluating the condition, removing chromatic-colorant data, and applying the color-stripped data in printing. The conditions include whether the amount of chromatic-colorant data in (A) the region is less than a certain threshold; (B) an entire row immediately above the region is less than a second threshold; (C) a region adjacent to the region is less than a third threshold; and (D) a vertical column above the particular region exceeds a fourth threshold.
