20100275144 | HIGHLY VISUAL DRAG AND DROP METHOD TO SIMPLIFY PROGRAMMING SPECIAL PAGES - The present disclosure shows an easy to learn and easy to use drag and drop method in a highly visual user interface to simplify the process of programming special pages and to quickly add page objects to a document's pages. The results of these drag and drop operations are displayed for the user prior to printing. More specifically, a limited number of icons are preprogrammed but can be pre-programmed when applied to a document. The modifications apply to subsequent applications of the icon to provide a simple but flexible technique to accommodate numerous types of special page programming. It also provides the ability to save modifications relative to the page reference, thus making the special pages programmed reusable and useful even if the original document has been somewhat modified. | 10-28-2010 |
20150319328 | METHODS, SYSTEMS AND PROCESSOR-READABLE MEDIA FOR PREVENTING RENDERING JOBS/SETS FROM BEING SPLIT BEFORE STACKER IS FULL - Methods, systems and processor-readbale media for preventing a job/set splitting across a stacker. A splitting prevention module can be configured to include a prevent job splitting feature or a prevent set splitting feature. The prevent job splitting feature and the prevent set splitting feature can be selected by a user so that the stacker will not begin stacking the job/set unless the stacker possesses a capacity for stacking the complete job/set. The stacker automatically unloads the job/set with respect to a job/set boundary provided by the user. Such an approach prevents the jobs/sets from being split when the stacker goes full. | 11-05-2015 |

20080298801 | ELECTRONIC DISPERSION COMPENSATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A test has been developed that is known as the transmitter waveform dispersion penalty (TWDP) test. The TWDP test has been used to test and certify various optical data transmission devices. Similar tests are being developed to test optical receivers such as a difference waveform distortion penalty (dWDP). A test pattern used to generate the transmitted sequence by the device under test is a PRBS9. The PRBS9 test pattern begins with a run of nine ones and has a length of 511 bits. According to the teachings herein, a test pattern of less than 511 bits is generated to perform the TWDP and dWDP tests. The test pattern may include a sequence of bits specifically designed to provide reliable test penalty calculation without the costly and time consuming aspects of the conventional TWDP and dWDP tests using the PRBS9 pattern. | 12-04-2008 |

20090210213 | SELECTING A LANGUAGE ENCODING OF A STATIC COMMUNICATION IN A VIRTUAL UNIVERSE - A static communication can be presented efficiently in different languages to facilitate propagation of the static communication across language boundaries. A static communication object that represents a static communication can be loaded with different language encodings of the static communication. When a trigger occurs (e.g., an avatar accesses the static communication object), a language encoding of the static communication that can be understood by the avatar is presented to the avatar. As the static communication propagates throughout the virtual universe, additional language encodings can be added to the static communication object. | 08-20-2009 |
