Abstract: A method of generating a multiplexed image for printing that can be observed in a plurality of modes includes determining a finite shape of a multiplexed palette in a combined color space. The contrast of the multiplexed image in each mode can be optimized by determining a maximum volume hyperrectangle enclosed in the finite shape. Gamut mapping to this maximum volume hyperrectangle allows for generation of a multiplexed image that has a maximum contrast and is free from artifacts caused by an interdependency between the colors in each mode. Performing a dimensionality reduction using PCA allows for reducing the complexity of the optimization problem.

Abstract: A tray for facilitating the dispensing of pharmaceuticals includes: a generally planar main panel; and a plurality of receiving apertures arranged in a grid of rows and columns. A side wall lines each of the receiving apertures. The side wall comprises a receiving segment and a capture segment, the capture segment opposed to the receiving segment, wherein the receiving segment is positioned directly beneath the receiving aperture and defines a receiving angle relative to the main panel, the receiving angle being between about 30 and 70 degrees.

Abstract: A method for building a security image for a security structure of a security document from multiplexing color images, including selecting a marking method capable of producing sets of colors on the security document comprising different colors that can be displayed according to illumination/observation modes of the security structure, establishing a plurality of color sets that can be displayed by the security structure in a plurality of the different illumination/observation modes, distributing the color sets in a plurality of groups of color sets, establishing combinations of groups of color sets having at least one color set in common across the number of different illumination/observation modes, selecting a combination of a group of color sets based on the number of desired illumination/observation modes and the number of colors per color image, and determining the color images to multiplex by means of the combination of the group of color sets selected.
