20090027415 | Managing color output by appearance intent - In a method of managing color output by appearance intent a color display value is received. The color display value comprises at least one appearance intent tag and is associated with an item of graphic content. The color display value is converted into an intermediate color value such that an appearance intent specified by the appearance intent tag is preserved in the intermediate color value. The intermediate color value is converted into an output color display value recognizable by an output device, such that the appearance intent is preserved in the output color display value. | 01-29-2009 |
20120239525 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING QUANTITATIVE GUIDELINE FOR PRINT ORDER - Systems and methods for determining a quantitative guideline are provided. One such method may involve receiving into an electronic device a print order from a customer to a print service provider, determining the requisite tasks to fulfill the print order, determining which resources of the print service provider are capable of undertaking the requisite tasks, and determining respective costs and lead times associated with undertaking each requisite task using each capable resource. In particular, such costs and lead times may be determined based at least in part on a dynamic behavioral model of cost and a dynamic behavioral model of lead time associated with each resource. | 09-20-2012 |
20120320407 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR PRINT JOB TRACKING USING ASSIGNABLE MOBILE DEVICES - Devices and methods for tracking a print job using an assignable electronic device on a print service provider (PSP) production floor are provided. One such method includes scanning a barcode-enabled job ticket assigned to a print job using a mobile electronic device assigned to a location on a print service provider production floor and sending barcode data from the barcode-enabled job ticket from to a PSP controller. The mobile electronic device may receive workflow instructions associated with the print job from the PSP controller. In addition, the mobile electronic device may display a representation of the workflow instructions. | 12-20-2012 |
20140149106 | Categorization Based on Word Distance - Examples disclosed herein relate to categorizing a target word based on word distance. A processor may determine a difference level threshold for a category based on difference levels between words associated with the category and determine difference levels between a target word and the words associated with the category. If one of the difference levels of the target word is below the threshold associated with the category, the processor outputs the category. | 05-29-2014 |
20140160501 | System and Method for Color Reproduction Tolerances - Systems and methods for color reproduction tolerances are provided. One method according to the present disclosure may involve selecting a printing configuration, printing a color scale sample using the printing configuration, and scoring the printed color scale sample based at least in part on an extent to which transpositions of the color swatches occur over a color range. When the score of the printed color scale sample indicates a print quality is or will he above a threshold level of quality, a print job using colors of the color range may be printed using the printing configuration. | 06-12-2014 |
20140285848 | Print Service Provider Risks Applied to Decision Making - A system that generates risk values for a print service provider. The print service provider may calculate probabilities of an event occurring, calculate the effect that the given event will have on the print service provider, and determine various risks associated with calculations. These risks may then be utilized to determine overall operational strategies for the print service provider when compared to threshold risk levels for the print service provider. | 09-25-2014 |

20080263529 | Method and apparatus for dynamic code optimization - A method and an apparatus that optimally compile a source code for a data transformation operation in response to a request from a run-time application are described. A current state of the run-time application is included in the request. The application executes a non-optimized library routine for the data transformation operation while a separate worker thread performs optimized code compilation on the source code for the data transformation operation based on the request at the same time. The request includes a current state of the run-time application. The non-optimized library routine has been pre-built during build time. | 10-23-2008 |
20130155084 | Virtualization of Graphics Resources and Thread Blocking - Virtualization of graphics resources and thread blocking is disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, a system and method of a kernel in an operating system including generating a data structure having an identifier of a graphics resource assigned to a physical memory location in video memory, and blocking access to the physical memory location if a data within the physical memory location is in transition between video memory and system memory wherein a client application accesses memory in the system memory directly and accesses memory in the video memory through a virtual memory map. | 06-20-2013 |
20140181797 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR A COMPILER SERVER - A method and an apparatus that instructs a compiler server to build or otherwise obtain a compiled code corresponding to a compilation request received from an application are described. The compiler server may be configured to compile source codes for a plurality of independent applications, each running in a separate process, using a plurality of independent compilers, each running in a separate compiler process. A search may be performed in a cache for a compiled code that satisfies a compilation request received from an application. A reply message including the compiled code can be provided for the application, wherein the compiled code is compiled in direct response to the request, or is obtained from the cache if the search identities in the cache the compiled code that satisfies the compilation request. | 06-26-2014 |
