    Abstract: An optical scanning system and method for laser engraving a plurality of data subrasters into a substrate to form a raster of engraved data defining an image on the substrate. Each subraster has a length dimension and a width dimension. The system includes a transport assembly having an objective lens and a mirror, the mirror capable of reflecting a substantially collimated scanning beam incident thereon in a direction transverse to an axis of the incident beam such that it is directed to the objective lens. The objective lens is capable of focusing the scanning beam on the substrate to engrave a set of data in the width dimension of the subraster and the objective lens and mirror combination is capable of moving along the axis of the incident beam to allow subsequent engraving of other sets of data in the width dimension until a complete subraster is formed along its length dimension. The objective lens and mirror combination is also capable of returning to its starting position to begin engraving of a subsequent subraster of the plurality of subrasters forming the raster of engraved data. A thermoset plastic substrate and a substrate having a an inorganic ceramic material are also identified as being suitable for use in a printing process, and particularly suitable for use with the aforementioned system and method.

    Abstract: A combination automatic document feeder and scanner operates so as to detect automatically an over-sized sheet of media. A linear image sensor detects motion of the oversized document as it is being fed into the scanner in a portrait orientation. A control algorithm responsive to the image sensor functions so those first and second portions of the over-sized sheet are successively registered over the transparent platen of the scanner and scanned. The resulting digital images of the first and second portions of the oversized sheet are digitally stitched together using a control algorithm that causes 1) a front portion of the oversized document to be advanced a sufficient distance in a forward direction to place the front portion inside the scanning area of the line scanner but not a sufficient distance to place the rear portion of the oversized document inside the scanning area of the line scanner; 2) the line scanner to move in a perpendicular direction to the oversized document to capture indicia information disposed on the front portion of the oversized document; 3) the line scanner to move to a target area below the front portion of the oversized document for capturing a line of indicia information disposed on the front portion of the oversized document; 4) the front portion of the oversized document to advance in a direction perpendicular to the motion of the line scanner in a series of predetermined exposure intervals to determine the distance the oversized document traveled into the scanning area of the line scanner; 5) the line scanner to move in a perpendicular direction to the oversized document to capture indicia information disposed on the rear portion of the oversized document; 6) the front portion indicia information to be combined with the rear portion indicia information without any substantial discontinuity between the two portions; and 7) a complete image of the over-sized sheet to be stored in a memory, faxed or printed.

    Abstract: This invention is directed toward a system and method for scanning a scene or object such as a whiteboard, paper document or similar item. More specifically, the invention is directed toward a system and method for obtaining a high-resolution image of a whiteboard or other object with a low-resolution camera. The system and method of the invention captures either a set of snapshots with overlap or a continuous video sequence, and then stitches them automatically into a single high-resolution image. The stitched image can finally be exported to other image processing systems and methods for further enhancement.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling an image recording device. The apparatus includes an acousto-optic deflector that deflects a beam of light so as to write a sub-scan comprising a predetermined number of picture elements. The image recording device is arranged to write a plurality of sub-scans side by side in a substantially contiguous manner. The apparatus also includes a component that commences sub-scans, a start of sub-scan detector that detects when the light beam is directed towards a start of sub-scan position, and an end of sub-scan detector that detects when the beam of light is directed towards an end of sub-scan position. A timing logic controller generates a start reference signal representing a desired position for the start of a sub-scan. A controller compares an output of the start of sub-scan detector with respect to the start reference signal. The controller also adjusts a frequency range of a chirp applied to the acousto-optic deflector while keeping a start time of the chirp constant so as to cause an arrival time of the light beam at the start of sub-scan detector to coincide with the start reference signal. A picture element rate controller adjusts a rate at which picture elements are written such that a final one of the picture elements is written a predetermined period before the light beam is directed towards the end of sub-scan position.
