Identifying the source of the printed documents and tracing the printed documents efficiently is a major challenge in lossless document inspecting. As many methods are not independent of the character content, in this paper, a new printer identification method based on the intrinsic printing features of arbitrary Chinese character is proposed. The distinguishing features include the 24-D wavele...

A comment on ‘Theegarten et al.: Submesothelial deposition of carbon nanoparticles after toner exposition: Case report. Diagnostic Pathology 2010, 5:77’ We read with interest the article by Theegarten et al. [1] which reports on the case of a patient in whose peritoneum were found submesothial aggregates of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) with a diameter of 31-67 nm. From their literature study and...

We demonstrated rapid prototyping of templates for replica molding using a conventional laser printer. A polymer, polydimethylsiloxane, was cast directly on the transparency templates to make the replicas. The templates and replicas were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, profilometry, and optical microscopy. Four patterns, including an Electronic Industries Association resolution t...

By adopting a citation-based recursive ranking method for patents the evolution of new field of technologies can be traced. Specifically, the laser / inkjet printer technology emerged from the recombination of existing technologies, such as sequential printing and static image production. The dynamics of the citations coming from the different ”precursor” classes illuminate the mechanism of the...

The Commodore Ainiga makes an impressive w machine, able to compete with computers costing several times its price. In this report on the status of Arnigaw, features will be discussed that might well be profitably implemented on other machines. Let me tantalize you, first, by mentioning that it is possible with this package to go from your document in your favorite editor to the first page of y...

This document specifies the following 16 additional OPTIONAL system administration operations for use with the Internet Printing Protocol/1.1 (IPP), plus a few associated attributes, values, and status codes, and using the IPP Printer object to manage printer fan-out and fan-in. Printer operations: Job operations: Enable-Printer and Disable-Printer Reprocess-Job Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job ...

gamut mapping, retinex algorithm, calculus of variations, robust reconstruction Gamut mapping is a method to modify a representation of a color image to fit into a constrained color space of a given rendering medium. A laser-jet color printer that attempts to reproduce a color image on a regular paper would have to map the photographed picture colors in a given color range, also known as the im...
