20090153889 | METHOD OF PREVENTING A REGISTRATION ERROR WHILE PRINTING - A method of preventing a registration error while printing at least one printing image, wherein, in order to control or adjust the correct length of the printing image, the start and/or the distance of the printing image lines of the printing image are controlled by determining the ratio of the number of rotary encoder signals of a transport web counted during a specific time interval to the number of rotary encoder signals of a cylinder of a printing and by taking into account a change of this ratio as a correction, said ratio being a function of a printing sheet located in a printing nip between the transport web and the printing unit, is characterized in that a changed printing material situation occurring in said printing nip between the transport web and the printing unit is used to achieve registration accuracy immediately. | 06-18-2009 |

20110063634 | METHOD FOR CALIBRATING A MULTI-COLOR PRINTING MACHINE - Described is a method for calibrating a position of a first register line in a register mark for a multi-color printing machine, said first register line consisting of a first color that does not offer sufficient contrast with respect to a printing material in order to allow a detection above a determined threshold value on a register sensor. In this method, first a plurality of register marks, each consisting of at least one starting line, a background line and a first register line, is printed, said background line consisting of a second color which offers sufficient contrast with respect to the first color for a detection above the specified threshold value on the register sensor if the first register line is printed on the background line, and said background line having a width that is by X mm greater than the first register line, and said starting line, said background line and said first register line being printed with the use of the pre-determined control parameters, which, in the normal case, cause the first register line to be printed on the background line. Subsequently, it is detected whether the first register line has been recognized by the register sensor above the pre-determined threshold value as being completely positioned on the background line. If this is not the case, then, in accordance with the method, at least one pre-determined control parameter for printing the first register line is changed and printing of the register marks and the detection are repeated. Changing of the at least one control parameter may be repeated one or more times, with the first register line being shifted each time with respect to its width with different algebraic signs. The above method is also particularly suitable as a pre-calibration of the first register line for a calibration pass for all colors of the multi-color printing machine. | 03-17-2011 |
20110063643 | METHOD FOR DETECTING ERRORS IN INDIVIDUAL COLOR SEPARATION IMAGES OF A MULTI-COLOR PRINTING MACHINE - A method for detecting errors in individual color separation images of a multi-color printing machine, in particular an electrophotographic printing machine, comprising a plurality of printing units, is described. Using this method, first a plurality of first register lines is printed with a first printing unit, and a plurality of second register lines is printed with a second printing unit in such a manner that each of the first register lines, together with one of said second register lines, is positioned inside a respective registration frame. Then the plurality of the first and second register lines in the respective registration frame are detected with a register sensor, and an output signal of the register sensor relating to the respective second register line is compared with an intensity threshold value in order to determine whether the second register lines can be recognized. In an alternative embodiment of the method, a plurality of the first register lines is printed with a first printing unit in such a manner that each of the first register lines is printed within a respective registration frame. Subsequently, the plurality of the first register lines in the respective registration frames is detected with a register sensor, and an output signal of the register sensor relating to the respective first register lines is compared with a pre-specified intensity threshold value in order to determine whether the first register lines are recognizable. | 03-17-2011 |
20110200366 | METHOD FOR CALIBRATING A PRINTING MACHINE - A method for calibrating a printing machine comprising a plurality of printing units includes transporting a first group of at-least-semi-transparent sheets at least once through the printing units. A second group of at-least-semi-transparent sheets is transported at least twice through the printing units, with the sheets being turned over between passages. Registration marks are printed on one of the sheets of the first group of sheets, and on one of the sheets of the second group of sheets during their second passage through the printing units. No registration marks are printed on the sheets of the second group of sheets during their first passage through the printing units. The registration marks are measured at a registration sensor located downstream of the printing units. Calibration parameters are determined using the measurements of the first and second registration marks provided by the registration sensor. | 08-18-2011 |

20100322358 | Parallel Execution of Trellis-Based Methods - A receiver system and method for recovering information from a symbol data sequence Y. The symbol data sequence Y corresponds to a symbol data sequence X that is transmitted onto the channel by a transmitter. The symbol data sequence X is generated by the transmitter based on associated information bits. At the receiver, a set of two or more processors operate in parallel on two or more overlapping subsequences of the symbol data sequence Y, where each of the two or more overlapping subsequences of the symbol data sequence Y corresponds to a respective portion of a trellis. The trellis describes redundancy in the symbol data sequence Y. The action of operating in parallel generates soft estimates for the associated information bits. The soft estimates are useable to form a receive message corresponding to the associated information bits. | 12-23-2010 |

20130044105 | Three Dimensional Display Compute System - System and method for video holographic display. Information is received regarding a 2D hogel array with multiple hogel apertures, specifying number, size, and/or spacing of the hogel apertures. Information regarding a 3D scene is received, including a scaling factor mapping the 3D scene to a 3D display volume. Due to gradual variation of radiation patterns from hogel to hogel, a full set of color radiation intensity patterns for the entire hogel array may be generated by interpolating the color radiation intensity patterns from a sparse subset of the hogels without having to compute all of the patterns. The full set of color radiation intensity patterns may then be used to holographically display the 3D scene. | 02-21-2013 |
