Patent number: 11113010Abstract: Examples herein provide a method, which includes printing an image and fiducial marks on a first side of a print medium. The fiducial marks include first marks ahead of the image, wherein two of the first marks are end marks at a first distance from respective opposite edges of the print medium, and each first mark has a first length and is located at a second distance from a beginning edge of the image. The fiducial marks also include second marks along a length of the print medium, wherein each second mark is at the first distance from the respective opposite edges, has a second length smaller than the first length, and is at a third distance from another second mark. The method includes scanning the fiducial marks and printing a registered mirrored copy of the image on the second side of the print medium using the scanned fiducial marks.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2016Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Xavier Domingo, Li Qian, Secundino Vicente Vicente

Patent number: 10670463Abstract: Examples herein provide a method. The method includes printing first color patches at a first location on a first side of a print medium. The method includes generating an international color consortium (“ICC”) profile of the first side by characterizing the first color patches using a spectrophotometer. The method includes printing, using the ICC profile of the first side, second color patches at a second location on the first side of the print medium. The method includes printing third color patches on a second side of the print medium, the third patches being a registered mirrored copy of the second patches. The method includes generating an ICC profile of the second side by characterizing the registered second and third patches using the spectrophotometer.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2016Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Li Qian, Xavier Domingo, Alfonso Sanchez, Secundino Vicente Vicente

Patent number: 10382652Abstract: According to one example, there is provided a method of generating a day/night image on a media. The method comprises obtaining an image to be printed as a front-to-back image, printing the obtained image on a first side of the media, processing the obtained image by flipping the image, applying a degree of edge removal, and applying a degree blur. The method further comprises printing the processed image on a reverse side of the media, such that the first printed image and printed modified image are substantially aligned with one another.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2015Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Li Qian, Xavier Domingo Reguant, Secundino Vicente Vicente

Patent number: 10185305Abstract: A control system for controlling actuators comprises a central processor, a plurality of actuators, and a plurality of servo systems for controlling the respective actuators. Each servo system is operable, independently of the central processor, to control a controlled parameter (Y) in accordance with a reference value (R). The servo systems and the central processor communicate via a non-deterministic communications system. The central processor and the servo systems provide, to the central processor via the non-deterministic communications system, offset signals representing offsets (R?Y) measured by the servo systems between reference R and actual Y values of the controlled parameter. The central processor compares the offsets (R?Y) measured by the respective servo systems one with another.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2013Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Secundino Vicente Vicente, Yngvar Rossow Sethne, Tuomo Eljas Kaikkonen

Patent number: 9975364Abstract: In some examples, a method of controlling printing to a print medium includes, while printing an image to a print surface of the print medium, determining deformations of slices of the image caused by deformation of the print medium. The determining includes reading first fiducial marks printed on the print medium, determining a first deformation of a first slice of the slices based on the first fiducial marks, reading second fiducial marks printed on the print medium, and determining a second deformation of a second slice of the slices based on the second fiducial marks.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Secundino Vicente Vicente, Xavier Domingo Reguant, Li Qian, Annarosa Multari
