20090089111SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATING PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT - A system and method to automate product life cycle management is disclosed. Product registration is automated by providing a package with automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) media, such as an RFID tag or a barcode, and a point-of-sale terminal that writes a unique product registration key to the AIDC media. Information about the product and customer is maintained by the brand owner's product management system. A global directory service acting as a broker is used as an intermediary to facilitate interactions between point-of-sale or post sale systems and the brand owner's system. Upon product purchase, customer and unique product identifier is sent to the brand owner's product management system via the broker. The brand owner's system creates a unique product registration key that is sent back to the point of sale terminal, which then writes the unique product registration key to the AIDC media annexed to the product. When the product returned to a store, the AIDC media is scanned, the unique product registration key is extracted, and sent to the brand owner's system for decoding, verification and for product life cycle management. The disclosed system and method ensures that retailers or other unauthorized entities cannot track the product thus alleviating privacy concerns.04-02-2009
20100157351SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING PRINT DELAYS FOR PRINT JOBS - There is disclosed a printing system for processing an electronic document with an original stream having at least two printing related instructions.

The one or more sets of prints are automatically stored in the one or more inserters and, pursuant to printing the final set of prints; the one or more inserters are used to insert at least one print from the one or more sets of prints into the at least one gap of the hardcopy stream.06-24-2010
20110290795FLICKER BOXES - Systems and methods are described that facilitate generating a changing visual effect during opening and closing of a package for a product. The package includes first and second portions, each having thereon an polarized interference region with non-parallel planes of polarization. All or part of the second package portion is transparent to one polarization, permitting the polarized interference region on the first package portion to interact with a polarized interference region on the second package portion. The package portions are mated together (e.g., in a tube and sleeve arrangement or the like), such that the polarized regions are aligned and overlap each other when the package is closed, thereby permitting less light through due to the two overlapping planes of polarization. As the package is opened (or closed), the polarized regions move or slide past each other, creating the visual effect by changing the size and shape of the overlapping polarized region. As the package is opened or closed, light passage through interactive regions where the polarized regions overlap is reduced or eliminated, depending on the orientation of the planes of polarization.12-01-2011
20110303571COLOR FLICKER BOXES - Systems and methods are described that facilitate generating a color interference effect during opening and closing of a package for a product. The package includes first and second portions, each having printed thereon a color interference pattern. All or part of the second package portion is transparent, permitting the color interference pattern on the first package portion to be seen through the second package portion. The package portions are mated together (e.g., in a tube and sleeve arrangement or the like), such that the color interference patterns are aligned and overlap each other completely when the package is closed. As the package is opened (or closed), the interference patterns move or slide past each other, creating the visible color interference effect.12-15-2011
