Abstract: A plastic molding method comprises moving each part of a plurality of parts along a selected one of a plurality of possible paths through dispensing and molding stations of a molding system. A controller tracks an operating state of each station, selects process stations capable of receiving a part for processing; identifies parts capable of processing at the selected process stations, and assigns individual parts to individual process stations.

Abstract: Various improvements and applications for digital watermarking technology are detailed. One concerns techniques for making watermarks resistant to malicious attacks. Another involves using digital watermarking with ID cards and credentials, such as a watermarked driver's license conveying a user's cryptographic PKI. Still another uses digital watermarks in connection with automated compliance audits for corporate users of electronic content. A variety of other technologies are also detailed.

Abstract: The disclosure describes pattern recognition detectors and software used to detect patterns in image streams. The detectors operate on streams of image data, making them suitable for detecting certain types of patterns in documents and images passed between processes and devices. For instance, the streaming mode detectors operate in printer drivers on streams of image data being passed to a printer. Also, the streaming mode detectors operate in scanner drivers on streams of image data being passed from a scanner. The disclosure describes pattern detectors for shapes with complex features as well as objects comprised of many smaller shapes. The disclosure also describes novel raster line and edge tracing pattern techniques.

Abstract: Watermark and pattern detection can be improved by compensating for artifacts introduced into an image by a printer and/or scanner through which the image has passed. With the present invention, prior to watermark or pattern detection, the image is filtered or modified to compensate for artifacts introduced by the printer and/or scanner. Some scanners automatically compensate for artifacts introduced by the scanner by using a calibrated tone map. The automatic compensation provides an image from which, a watermark can be easily read. However, generally the user is provided with an interface which can be used to change certain parameters such contrast and intensity. The changes made by the user change the compensation (i.e. the tone map) applied to the image. If the user changes the compensation applied to the image it can affect the ability to read the watermark.
