Abstract: A color inkjet printer includes an electrode that emits an electric field into a gap between a printhead and a media transport that carries media past the printhead. Image data generated by an optical sensor after an ink image is printed on the media is analyzed to measure at least one image quality metric. When the measured image quality metric is outside of a tolerance range, the voltage of a voltage source electrically connected to the electrode is adjusted to improve the wetting of the media type with the ink ejected by the printhead.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a centralized service discovery management (CSDM) system and method for distributing service discovery records to access points (APs).

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for deriving a behavior knowledge model for data analytics. The current automated technical solutions for monitoring the health status or behavior pattern, that apply a domain knowledge for the data analytics are very limited. Hence the conventional techniques for monitoring the health status or behavior pattern are manual, application centric and inaccurate. The present disclosure automatically leverages relevant domain knowledge and the sensor data for building a behavior knowledge model which further enhanced by the deviations identified using a machine leaning model. The present disclosure facilitates development a knowledge-driven simulator that generates sensor data sets for typical resident behavior, based on definable activity patterns and pattern influencers of interest (e.g., diabetes, nocturia).
