Patent number: 7043321Abstract: A method for performing exception handling operates within a computer controlled multi-step production system for producing objects. The system includes a system controller, within which reside a planner/scheduler and module controller(s). The system controller receives a stream of object specifications for objects to be produced including the jobs to which they belong. The planner/scheduler plans and schedules the jobs incrementally, and the system controller sends commands to the module controller(s) directing production of the planned and scheduled objects by production system modules. The method includes receiving notice in the system controller of a problem situation present within the multi-step production system and halting planning for the production of subsequent objects. Plans are canceled plans for all objects that have not begun production, and all objects affected by the problem situation are marked as bad objects.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2004Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Palo Alto Research Center IncorporatedInventors: Wheeler Ruml, Robert M. Lofthus, Ronald J. Root, Markus P J. Fromherz, Marc W. Webster

Patent number: 5710635Abstract: An electronic image processing apparatus includes a controller and a plurality of resources in an arbitrary configuration. Each of the resources provides an associated processor storing data related to operational capabilities of the associated resource. The controller is adapted to dynamically configure the image processing apparatus to operate in accordance with the the operational capabilities of each of the processors by defining job requirements as a combination of images defining a set of sheets and specifying compilations of sheets. The job requirement is converted into an assembly tree relationship for merging into additional assembly trees for formulating the job requirement.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1995Date of Patent: January 20, 1998Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Marc W. Webster, Daniel Lawrence McCue, III, Paul A. Rulli, William K. Stumbo

Patent number: 5701557Abstract: An electronic image processing apparatus has a controller and a plurality of resources in an arbitrary configuration. Each of the resources includes an associated processor storing data related to operational constraints of the associated resource and a bus interconnects the processors to the controller for directing the operation of the resources. The controller is adapted to operate independent of a particular configuration of the plurality of resources by receiving from each of the processors the data related to the operational constraints of each associated resource and interrogating each of the processors to determine the geometrical relationship of the interconnection of the resources.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 1995Date of Patent: December 23, 1997Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Marc W. Webster, Vijay A. Saraswat, Markus P. J. Fromherz, John C. Austin, Paul A. Rulli, Daniel Lawrence McCue, III

Patent number: 5696893Abstract: A system is provided to allow for automated scheduling and completion of print jobs in a printing machine. A generic system for describing functionality of various modules forming a print engine is described. Such a module description is provided for each of a plurality of subassemblies which form the printing machine. A component communicates description information about itself to a scheduling unit once it is integrated into a complete printing machine. The scheduling unit, in turn, analyzes all functions available from various subassemblies comprising the machine. This analysis returns data representative of all available functions to the printing machines. Upon receipt of user input on one or more printing jobs, the scheduler then correlates the user information with the available properties of the printing machine to schedule an efficient completing of all printing tasks.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: December 9, 1997Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Markus P. J. Fromherz, Vijay A. Saraswat, Marc W. Webster
