  • Publication number: 20230364932
    Abstract: A technique is described for the application of three-dimensional (3D) relief to a substrate such as a ceramic tile using digital inkjet technology. A computer system receives information defining a relief pattern for forming the 3D relief using a digital inkjet printer. From the information, a feature vector is extracted comprising one or more features describing the 3D relief. A machine learning model is used to generate control commands based on the feature vector. The machine learning model is trained to generate the control commands to configure the digital inkjet printer to apply binder ink to a first region of a surface of the substrate. The applied binder ink is configured to form a protective layer over the first region of the surface of the substrate. The digital inkjet printer is configured to apply solvent ink to the surface of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 11633972
    Abstract: A technique is described for the application of three-dimensional (3D) relief to a substrate such as a ceramic tile using digital inkjet technology. In an example embodiment, the introduced technique includes application of binder ink to a portion of the surface of a substrate using a digital inkjet process. This binder ink forms a barrier layer which protects the portion of the surface of the substrate. Next, a brushing process is applied to remove unprotected portions of the substrate, thereby forming the 3D relief in the substrate.

  • Patent number: 11113758
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for facilitating image-based financial transactions. A computing device may display a multi-mode launch icon that is alternately selectable by a user in a first mode and in a second mode. The computing device may detect a first user input that selects the launch icon in the first mode and, in response, execute a first application. The computing device may also detect a second user input that selects the launch icon in the second mode and, in response, prompt the user to capture an image of a document with an imaging device. The computing device may determine, based at least in part on the image, that the document is of a first document type and execute a document-type routine to perform a first financial transaction based at least in part on the document.
