Patent number: 7973974Abstract: A method, apparatus and article of manufacture for modifying printing based upon direct on-the-fly media characteristic parameters is disclosed. The present invention on-the-fly directly measures a media characteristic parameter and performs real-time print modification in response thereto. The measured characteristic parameters include paper texture and composition, as well as adhesion and penetration of print. The modification of print in response to these measured parameters may allow a customer to maintain observed print quality with lower-cost materials. Adjustments may include the addition of coating, hot rolling, or adjustment of toner concentration. Measured parameters may include mottle, paper texture, and bleed through.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2006Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Infoprintsolutions Company, LLCInventors: Jennifer Quirin Trelewicz, Joan LaVerne Michell, Ravishankar Rao, John B. Condon, David Joseph Shields

Patent number: 7580913Abstract: A method and system for analyzing impact of change in an organizational entity. A graph H includes nets, nodes of the nets, edges connecting the nodes, and edge weights for the edges. The edge weights denote changes in some nodes resulting from changes in other nodes. For a given set Z of nodes A and for each node B characterized by a set S of at least one path of edges connecting nodes of H from node A to node B for each node A of Z, a measure M(Z,B) of a change in node B resulting from a change in each node A of Z is determined. M(Z,B) is a function of the edge weights in each path of S. Each node B of H is displayed via a graphical representation G(B) assigned to each node B. G(B) is a function of M(Z,B).Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2005Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ankur Chandra, Douglas Warren McDavid, Jorge L. C. Sanz, Jennifer Quirin Trelewicz

Patent number: 7526136Abstract: Fast transforms that use early aborts and precision refinements are disclosed. When to perform a corrective action is detected based upon testing the incremental calculations of transform coefficients. Corrective action is then performed.

Patent number: 7310168Abstract: A digital halftoning technique for controlling a spot function is disclosed. A method for generating a spot for use in halftoning according to the present invention includes defining a spot function that combines two functions selected to provide a predetermined spot shape for use in a halftone cell and scaling the spot function using a scaling function that varies according to a value of a first and second spot function ordinate. Asymmetric modulation of spot functions is used to control the touching of adjacent spots, and to change the shape of the spots with the gray region.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2001Date of Patent: December 18, 2007Assignee: InfoPrint Solutions Company LLCInventors: Jennifer Quirin Trelewicz, Danielle K.

Patent number: 7007054Abstract: Faster discrete cosine transforms that use scaled terms are disclosed. Prior to application of a transform, equations are arranged into collections. Each collection is scaled by dividing each of the discrete cosine transform constants in the collection by one of the discrete cosine transform constants from the collection. Each of the scaled discrete cosine transform constants are then represented with approximated sums of powers-of-2. During the execution phase the block of input data is obtained. A series of predetermined sums and shifts is performed on the data. The output results are saved.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2000Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Thomas Brady, Jennifer Quirin Trelewicz, Joan LaVerne Mitchell

Patent number: 6766341Abstract: Fast transforms that use multiple scaled terms is disclosed. The discrete transforms are split into sub-transforms that are independently calculated using multiple scaling terms on the transform constants. The effect of the scaling for the transform coefficients may optionally be handled by appropriately scaling the quantization values or any comparison values. Further, optimal representations of the scaled terms for binary arithmetic are found. The resulting calculations result in fast transform calculations, decreased software execution times and reduced hardware requirements for many linear transforms used in signal and image processing application, e.g., the DCT, DFT and DWT.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2000Date of Patent: July 20, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jennifer Quirin Trelewicz, Joan LaVerne Mitchell, Michael Thomas Brady

Patent number: 6644773Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and an article of manufacture for registration calibration of a printer. An application prints reticle patterns on a printed page. An imaging device creates a digital image of the printed reticle patterns. If color registration on the printer is improper, the digital image exhibits interference patterns. The application compares the interference patterns to the reticle patterns, and based on the results of the comparison adjusts the color registration of the printer.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2002Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Carl Robert Bildstein, Jennifer Quirin Trelewicz, Joan LaVerne Mitchell, Arthur Kenneth Ford, Michael Thomas Brady

Publication number: 20030063318Abstract: A digital halftoning technique for controlling a spot function to address gear noise, printer stress, and general print quality is disclosed. A method for generating a spot for use in halftoning according to the present invention includes defining a spot function that combines two functions selected to provide a predetermined spot shape for use in a halftone cell and scaling the spot function using a scaling function that varies according to a value of a first and second spot function ordinate. Asymmetric modulation of spot functions is used to control the touching of adjacent spots, and to change the shape of the spots with the gray region. The resulting non-separable shape-changing spot function can reduce printer stress and improve print quality.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2001Publication date: April 3, 2003Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jennifer Quirin Trelewicz, Danielle K.
