20100045722 | CORRECTION OF PRINT ENGINE ARTIFACTS USING AN ITERATIVE HALFTONING SEARCH ALGORITHM - Methods and systems herein provide for reducing artifacts during printing. One printing system is operable to prepare a continuous tone image (CTI) for printing onto a print medium by generating an initial half tone image (HTI) based on the CTI. The printing system includes a printer and a print controller. The print controller filters the initial HTI and the CTI with a perceptual filter and determines an error between the filtered CTI and the filtered HTI. The print controller prints the HTI via the printer to determine printer artifacts and processes a scanned version of the printed HTI to determine an error between the filtered CTI and the scanned and filtered HTI. This processing updates the initial HTI and reduces the error between the filtered CTI and the filtered HTI. | 02-25-2010 |

20100308814 | SYSTEM FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION MEASUREMENT OF A MAGNETIC FIELD/GRADIENT AND ITS APPLICATION TO A MAGNETOMETER OR GRADIOMETER - The present invention relates to a method and system for high spatial resolution measurement of a magnetic field or gradient. The method determines Zeeman polarization at a submicron distance from cell surfaces of an optical pumping cell using two laser beams. A strong pump beam produces Zeeman polarization in the vicinity of surfaces inside the optical pumping cell. The Zeeman polarization precesses around the magnetic field that is to be measured and is probed by the evanescent wave of a weak probe beam. The precessing Zeeman polarization can be monitored by measuring reflectivity of the probe beam at an interface between the active medium and the cell. The polarization can be used to measure the magnetic field or gradient. In one embodiment a second probe beam in the yz-plane is incident on the same position as the pump beam and the first probe beam that is in the xz-plane. Both probe beams undergo total internal reflection at an interface between the cell surface and the active medium. The reflectivities of the two probe beams are measured, from which the x, y and z components of the magnetic field can be determined simultaneously. | 12-09-2010 |
