Abstract: The system and method of the present invention presents a process for transmitting an electronic message that comprises printing a first document with machine-readable code which contains data corresponding to an electronic address of an intended recipient and transmitting the first document from a facsimile machine to a computerized device configured to receive facsimiles. The machine-readable code is decoded upon receipt by the computerized device to retrieve the data corresponding to the electronic address and an electronic message addressed to the electronic address is generated. The electronic message is then transmitted to the electronic address of the intended recipient.

Abstract: Method and system for wavefront reconstruction from an image plane intensity distribution profile. An imaging device may be an agent for producing the image plane intensity distribution profile, for example, a point spread function. In one embodiment, the method and system include defining a feature vector from the point spread function, and employing an adaptive computational architecture for associating the feature vector with at least one identifying characteristic of the imaging device, e.g., such as an amount of astigmatism.
