Abstract: A method for printing defect detection includes processing and analyzing a difference image obtained by comparing an image scanned with a verifier to a reference image. The detected defects are grouped, and the grouping is refined. Confidence level values are then assigned to the refined groups, and analysis is performed to determine if one or more servicing actions should be taken.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for dosing biocide into fluid. A biofilm sensor configured to measure an amount of biofilm on the biofilm sensor is used. A method identifies, if present, in a data set representing measurement over time by the biofilm sensor a minimum and an inflection point and, if identified. According to some embodiments, dosing of biocide is determined to be effectuated when an inflection point has been identified occurring time wise after an identified minimum.
