Abstract: The present method and system relates to processor-based valuations of an entity, such as a business, comprising a best value mode for iteratively generating optimized input elements and calculating an output data set from the optimized input elements that meet the conditions of the parties interested in the valuation, an interactive mode enabling a user to modify the input elements to determine how the modified elements affect the financial output of the valuation, and a module enabling the user to switch between the best value and interactive modes.

Abstract: An improved printing apparatus control system regulates the operation of a sheet feed assembly which sequentially moves sheets of material to and from a printing station and a plate feed assembly which sequentially moves printing plates to and from the printing station. A photocell detects initial movement of a leading end portion of the printed sheet of material away from the printing station under the influence of the sheet feed assembly. This photocell is also utilized to detect when the printed sheet of material has completely exited from the printing station. A second photocell detects the presence of the succeeding sheet of material at the printing station. The control system also includes a sensor which detects the removal of one printing plate from the printing station, the absence of a printing plate at the printing station, and the subsequent arrival of the next succeeding printing plate at the printing station.
