  • Patent number: 6952293
    Abstract: A document-backing surface for reducing show-through when a duplex-printed document is scanned but without producing undesirable artifacts. The document-backing surface has a plurality of first and second light-absorbing surfaces, and a plurality of specularly reflective surfaces partially covering each of the second light-absorbing surfaces. The first specularly reflective surfaces are oriented to reflect light from a scanner lamp to a scanner sensor. In an alternate embodiment, the document-backing surface is partially covered by a specularly reflective surface oriented to reflect light from the scanner lamp to the scanner lens. In another embodiment, the document-backing surface has a set of teeth, each of which has light-absorptive first and second tooth surfaces and a specularly reflective surface partially covering each second tooth surface. In addition, the present invention is directed to a method for using a document-backing surface.

  • Patent number: 6798543
    Abstract: A method for compression and decompression of halftoned images using the halftone screen. The method reduces an input binary image into a mean image, uses the halftone screen in combination with the mean image to produce a predicted image. The predicted image is then compared to the original image to produce a residue image. The residue image and the mean image are then compressed and either stored or transmitted. For decompression, the mean image and residue image are decompressed and then used with the halftone screen to arrive at a reconstructed binary image. A prediction process uses the mean image and scales it to a full-size image that has substantially similar dimensions as the original image. It then applies the halftone screen to the full-size image and produces a predicted image.
