20110157605 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADJUSTING INK PILE HEIGHT - A method and apparatus for adjusting estimated ink pile height to reduce the frequency and effects of a defect known as a halo defect. An estimated ink pile height profile of ink to be deposited on a surface in an area of image data having a foreground and a background is determined. The estimated ink pile height profile has a foreground color area including a top color component and at least one non-top color component in the foreground. Then, the estimated height profile is adjusted if the difference between the pile heights of the foreground and background is greater than a threshold condition. | 06-30-2011 |
20130242339 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC REDEPLOYMENT OF CLOUD-BASED SERVICES - A method of scheduling a print job may include determining a first set of deployments that includes one or more deployments. Each deployment in the first set may include an indication of a logical device in a cloud environment and an indication of a production center. The method may include for one or more deployments in the first set of deployments, determining a total compliance value associated with the deployment, identifying a subset of deployments based on, at least in part, the associated total compliance values, generating a new set of deployments based on, at least in part, the identified subset of deployments, and in response to the first set of deployments being an improvement over the new set of deployments, incrementing a count variable, and repeating the determining a total compliance value, identifying, and generating operations until the count variable equals an exit condition value. | 09-19-2013 |

20120290426 | PROVIDING ACCESS TO IMAGES FROM ELECTRONIC AND/OR HARDCOPY PUBLICATIONS - A method, device, and system maintain a database of electronic and/or hardcopy publications within a first computerized device. The first computerized device receives from a second computerized device a request for at least one of the printable images within an electronic and/or hardcopy publication. The request has an identifier of the electronic and/or hardcopy publication and at least one page number of the electronic and/or hardcopy publication. The first computerized device transmits display information to cause the second computerized device to display one or more of the printable images appearing on the page number of the electronic and/or hardcopy publication. The first computerized device receives an image selection from the second computerized device that identifies selected images from among the printable images displayed by the second computerized device. The first computerized device provides the selected images to the second computerized device, or to a printer or print shop. | 11-15-2012 |
20130120767 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CREATING STRUCTURAL DOCUMENTS - A method of generating a structural document may include causing, by a cloud system, a graphical representation of a structural document associated with a structural document kit to be displayed on a user computing device. The cloud system may be located remotely from the user computing device. The method may include receiving a selection of a content item, determining a position of the selected content item on a portion of the graphical representation, and transmitting the selected content item to the user computing device. The user computing device may be configured to transmit the selected content item to a print device. The print device may be configured to print the selected content item on a label of the structural document kit. The label may be configured to be affixed to a portion of the structural document that corresponds to the portion of the graphical representation. | 05-16-2013 |
20130120770 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CREATING STRUCTURAL DOCUMENTS HAVING BACKGROUND CONTENT - A method of generating a structural document may include causing, by a cloud system, a graphical representation of a structural document associated with a structural document kit to be displayed on a user computing device. The cloud system may be located remotely from the user computing device. The graphical representation may include a background content item and a customizable area. The method may include receiving a selection of a content item, determining a position of the selected content item within the customizable area, and transmitting the selected content item to the user computing device. The user computing device may be configured to transmit the selected content item to a print device. The print device may be configured to print the selected content item on a label of the structural document kit. The label may be configured to be affixed to the structural document. | 05-16-2013 |
20140012987 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HANDLING LOAD ON A SERVICE COMPONENT IN A NETWORK - A method, a system and a computer program product for handling requests in a network are disclosed. A load pattern at a first service component is extracted. A capacity and pending requests at the first service component are calculated based on the load pattern. Thereafter, an insertion delay is calculated based on the capacity, pending requests, and a time period required to increase the capacity by applying various alternative adaptation techniques. The insertion delay is then distributed among a plurality of upstream service components. | 01-09-2014 |
