Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing a pre-rasterized print job for variable data printing are disclosed. In one embodiment, a set of printer characteristics may be determined and then transferred to a typesetting system. The typesetting system may then pre-rasterize objects of the print job based in part on the received printer characteristics. A pre-rasterized print job, including the pre-rasterized objects and print layout instructions may then be generated, such as in the form of a PostScript file, which may then be transferred to a raster image processor (RIP) for generation of printed output. In another embodiment, a printer characterization file may be used for execution on a printing system to determine the set of printer characteristics that may include native resolution, rotation angle, compression data and/or other data or information characterizing the printing system.

Abstract: A system and method for laser processing a complex pattern and a perimeter around the complex pattern on a moving web, the complex pattern and the perimeter processed continuously with a single laser. The complex pattern may be a plurality of holes such that cutting of the perimeter forms a disk having multiple holes. The plurality of holes are interior to the disk and laser processed using a camming program while a web of material is continuously moving. The laser is then repositioned to cut the perimeter while the laser remains on and the web is continuously moved. The multi-hole disk may be cut from a continuous roll of abrasive material.

Abstract: The electronic content generation and distribution method and system includes designating a written content for audio translation by a narrator and determining the narrator. The method and system provides written content to the narrator to generate an audio narration, receiving the audio narration back from the narrator. The method and system therein assigns a plurality of content identifiers to the audio narration based at least one the written content, accesses a subscriber database including subscriber information and subscriber preference data and electronically compares the plurality of content identifiers to the subscriber preference data to determine a distribution list. The method and system distributes the audio narration to subscribers designated in the distribution list so that the subscriber can engage the audio narration via a content interface, where the content interface is operative to monitor the subscriber engaging the audio narration.

Abstract: A system for controlling selection of filters for protecting against vulnerabilities of a computer network includes a vulnerability management system analyzes the computer network and determines network vulnerabilities for the computer network. The vulnerability management system is configured to receive real-time data on a status of filters protecting against vulnerabilities of the computer network. A database contains a pre-generated mapping of network vulnerabilities to filters for protecting against the network vulnerabilities. The vulnerability management system enables user control of filters for protecting against vulnerabilities of the computer network based upon the determined network vulnerabilities of the computer network, the pre-generated mapping of network vulnerabilities to the filters for protecting against the network vulnerabilities and the real-time data on the status of the filters.

Abstract: A method of operating a data processing system to examine a compiled program for violations of a set of rules that do not constitute violations detected by the compiler that generated the program. The method includes obtaining a restricted rule set defined in terms of rules in a decompiled representation of the program. The method also includes decompiling the compiled program to the decompiled representation of the compiled program in which the restricted rule set is defined, examining the decompiled representation of the compiled program for a violation of the restricted rule set to determine if any of the rules are violated, and providing an output indicating that one of the rules was violated.

Abstract: Fibrous structures that exhibit a Geometric Mean Modulus (GM Modulus) of less than 1402.4 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method described herein and a Geometric Mean Elongation (GM Elongation or GM Elong) of less than 10.2% measured according to the Elongation Test Method described herein are provided.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure sets forth an effective way to maintain fairness and order in the scheduling of common resource access requests related to replay operations. Specifically, a streaming multiprocessor (SM) includes a total order queue (TOQ) configured to schedule the access requests over one or more execution cycles. Access requests are allowed to make forward progress when needed common resources have been allocated to the request. Where multiple access requests require the same common resource, priority is given to the older access request. Access requests may be placed in a sleep state pending availability of certain common resources. Deadlock may be avoided by allowing an older access request to steal resources from a younger resource request. One advantage of the disclosed technique is that older common resource access requests are not repeatedly blocked from making forward progress by newer access requests.
