| 20080246988 | Adaptive printer pools - A client node in a networked printing system outputs in response to a change to an individual print setting input by a user for a print job a real-time update of printing nodes selectable by the user to process the print job. By presenting a user of the client node with a pool of selectable printing nodes that automatically adapts to changes in print settings, inefficiencies of prior processes that require the user to individually assess compatibility of printing nodes with print settings and the pitfalls of prior processes that automatically select a “best fit” printing node that may be compatible with print settings but is undesirable from the user's perspective are avoided. Moreover, by providing a user with immediate feedback on the impact of a change to an individual print setting on the selectable status of printing nodes, the user is able to quickly and accurately determine a combination of print settings and printing node that is desirable from the user's perspective. | 10-09-2008 |

| 20100235727 | Systems and Methods for Dynamic Electronic Signature Placement - Systems and methods for ensuring proper placement of electronic signatures in dynamic electronically-signed documents where the signature location of the documents may change based on changes of terms within the documents are described. The documents are dynamic or variable documents in that the text and signature line or lines of the documents move based on the document terms, number of signatories, etc. Computers and computer programs are used to scan through a dynamic document and determine where to print signatures when signatories log into an electronic signing room and elect to sign a given document. Information about a document is gathered from an electronic version of the document to locate signature lines and initials lines. Information regarding the locations of all signature and initials lines is then passed with the document for electronic signature. When the document is electronically signed, the electronic signature images are therefore placed in correct locations. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20100186893 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FABRICATING COMPOSITE STRUCTURES - Composite structures are fabricated and cured without applying external heat from an autoclave or oven. This technique uses composite preforms to form high strength, three-dimensional co-bonded joints, and thermoplastic conformal mandrels such as rota-molded vacuum bags. The bags form internal tooling within the structure and provide molding with integral fittings that circulate heated air within the bags. The exteriors of the bags are simultaneously under vacuum and exert pressure on the composite elements of the structure that are being cured. This internally-applied heat initially causes to the bags to soften and fully conform to the internal shapes of the structure that are being co-bonded. The heat then transfers into the uncured materials, causing them to cure without unnecessarily heating the entire structure or any required tooling. | 07-29-2010 |
