  • Patent number: 11930153
    Abstract: In some examples, an imaging device can include a processing resource and a memory resource storing instructions to cause the processing resource to perform a feature extraction process to extract a gamut-based feature included in a plurality of pixels of a scanned image to determine whether the scanned image includes a particular marking, apply a classification model to the scanned image, and optimize the scanned image based on the classification of the scanned image.

  • Patent number: 11135757
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a blown plastic film using an extruder, the method comprising extruding a tube of polymer resin; cooling air from a temperature of greater than 55° F. down to a temperature between about 35° F. about 50° F., to produce an intermediate cooled air stream; dehumidifying the intermediate cooled air stream to less than about 15% humidity, to produce a dehumidified intermediate cooled air stream; cooling the dehumidified intermediate cooled air stream to less than 35° F., to produce a super-cooled air stream; and directing the super-cooled air stream at the extruded tube of polymer resin.

  • Patent number: 11072103
    Abstract: A system and method for extruding film with a thickened profile section. In some embodiments, the film forms bags with integral zipper profiles. Plastic film is extruded to form a tube. During extrusion, each thickened profile section is radiantly cooled in a preferential manner before thinner sections of the film freeze. A freezing control device includes at least one radiant cooling plate that is operatively aligned with a thickened profile section. The device also includes a cooling fluid recirculation system configured to maintain the plate at a temperature below the temperature of the extruded tube. The plate can be adjustably mounted on a base for positioning the plate at the desired orientation for cooling the thickened profile section of the tube.
