Abstract: A system monitors an event loop executing on a host and determines causes for delays in tasks of the event loop. The system may include circuitry that receives, from an agent of the host, event loop data defining suspend and resume times of the tasks of the event loop executing on the host. The circuitry determines, based on the event loop data, event loop analysis data defining execution times for each of the tasks. The circuitry determines, based on the event loop analysis data, a cause of a delay in a task of the event loop as resulting from at least one of (i) a task delay in execution of the task or (ii) a loop delay in execution of another task of the event loop.

Abstract: An apparatus reduces optical damage on an optical element that interacts with a light beam. The apparatus includes: an optical system configured to interact with a light beam to perform a modification to one or more aspects of the light beam, an alignment system, and an actuator. The optical system comprises at least one optical element having a surface configured to interact with the light beam, the surface being continuous and non-diffuse. The alignment system is configured to align the light beam relative to the optical element surface so that the light beam interacts with the optical element while the light beam is traveling at a first beam direction relative to the surface of the optical element and the light beam is outputted from the optical element along a second beam direction relative to the surface of the optical element after the light beam and optical element have interacted.

Abstract: A method is provided for allowing a single threaded filter in a print driver to execute feature commands in a parallel mode, thereby creating a pseudo-multithreaded infrastructure which decreases overall processing latency for a print job. The method includes getting and parsing a document sequence print ticket for a document sequence for the print job; creating a feature command list of document sequence scoped feature commands based on the document sequence print ticket; getting a document part and parsing a document print ticket for the document part; inserting document scoped feature commands, based on the document print ticket, in the front of the feature command list; getting a page part and parsing a page print ticket for the page part; inserting page scoped feature commands, based on the page print ticket, in the front of the feature command list; and sequentially executing the feature commands in the feature command list.
