| 20100310170 | THIN LINE DETECTION IN SCANNED IMAGE DATA - Disclosed herein is a method for detecting thin lines in image data. The method is performed by a processor to process contone image data. The processing includes thresholding a window of pixels established in the contone domain to generate a binary window of image data, and then determining characteristics associated with on pixels or runs of the binary data. The characteristics (start and end locations, length of on runs) are then thresholded. The processing in the contone and binary domain are used to determine if a thin line exists in the window of image data. The disclosed method produces better quality output images and reduces the addition of false lines in an image. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20100310178 | FUZZY METHOD TO DETECT THIN LINES IN SCANNED IMAGE - Disclosed herein is a method for detecting thin lines in image data. The method is performed by a processor to process contone image data. The processing includes thresholding a window of pixels using a first set of thresholds established in the contone domain, and then counting and thresholding the binary pixels using a second set of thresholds. The processing in the contone and binary domain are used to determine if a thin line exists and if a pixel of interest in the window is an edge pixel that is part of a thin line. The disclosed method produces better quality output images and reduces the addition of false lines in an image. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20100070622 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UTILIZING SYSTEM LAG TO SEND FACTS TO AN END USER - A method for utilizing system lag to send facts to an end user. The method begins by monitoring a computer system to identify said system lag. After identifying system lag, the method determines an estimated length of the system lag, the estimated length being a measurement of time. The estimated length takes into account previously identified system lag lengths to better approximate the current system lag length. After determining the estimated length of the system lag, the method sends a fact to the end user during the system lag. The fact sent to the end user has a length equal to or less than the estimated length of the system lag. Finally, the method stores the actual length of the system lag in order to improve subsequent determinations of the estimated length. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20100037065 | Method and Apparatus for Transitive Program Verification - A method, apparatus and program storage device for program verification in an information handling system in which an application program runs on an operating system having a signature verification function for verifying a digital signature of the application program. Upon loading of the application program, the signature verification function of the operating system verifies the digital signature of the application program and, if the digital signature is verified, initiates execution of the application program. Upon initiation of execution of the application program, a verification testing function associated with the application program tests the signature verification function of the operating system by presenting to it a sequence of test digital signatures in a specified pattern of true and false signatures. If its test of the signature verification function of the operating system is successful, the application program initiates normal execution. Otherwise, the application program terminates without initiating normal execution. | 02-11-2010 |
