  • Patent number: 11797166
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for reporting printhead conditions. One embodiment is a system that includes a user interface, a display, and a controller configured to present a Graphical User Interface (GUI) via the display. The GUI includes a first area depicting an array of printheads. Each printhead of the array is represented by a first visual indicator that signifies a frequency of printhead conditions detected at that printhead over a period of time. In response to receiving a selection of at least one of the printheads via the user interface, the controller presents a second area of the GUI via the display. The second area depicts locations of printhead conditions detected at the selection over the period of time. Each of the locations is represented by a second visual indicator that signifies a frequency of printhead conditions detected at that location over the period of time.

  • Publication number: 20050078197
    Abstract: A digital camera has an image sensor, a capture trigger, a processing system, and a capture buffer having multiple buffer locations. The processing system receives auxiliary image frames from the image sensor and stores each auxiliary image frame in a buffer location. When the capture trigger is activated, a corresponding image frame is received by the processing system from an image sensor and stored in an available buffer location. Blur correction is performed on the corresponding image frame using at least one auxiliary image frame in at least one other buffer location. All buffer locations used for the blur correction are unavailable for storage of other data until the blur correction is complete. In one embodiment, Image frames are continuously stored in the buffer locations not designated as unavailable.
