    Abstract: Optical fibers (2, 3 and 4) are used to sense fluid ink drops along the x, y and z axis of an orthogonal coordinate system. A drop sensing zone is defined in the narrow space between the faces of a single input fiber and two output fibers. An LED 58 infrared light source is coupled to a remote end of the input fiber. Infrared sensitive photodiodes 61 are coupled to the remote ends of each output fiber. The photodiodes are in turn coupled to a differential amplifier 69 whose output represents a displacement error for the x and y axis and represents a time reference for the z axis for the case where the drop flight path is along the z axis. A plurality of sensors are disclosed in an ink recording system having a plurality of nozzles 33 and in an ink recording system having an ink generator traversing the length of a high speed rotating drum 100.

    Abstract: SCANNING APPARATUS A line scanning apparatus employing a multiplicity of linear arrays, the linear extent of which is less than the length of the scan line. To permit an entire line to be covered, the arrays are offset from one another in the direction of scan with adjoining array ends overlapped. To correct for the misalignment and redundancy introduced, the image data from the arrays is buffered until a line is completed when readout, is initiated. during readout, cross over from one array to the next is effected within the overlapped areas and the redundant data discarded.

    Abstract: TONE ERROR CONTROL FOR IMAGE CONTOUR REMOVAL A system for processing halftone image data in digital format. The image data is electronically screened to provide a binary output suitable for storage or printing, the image data being processed in discrete blocks or cells. The error between actual and printed average gray values of each image cell processed is determined and the electronic screen thresholds are modified in accordance with such error (if any) prior to processing the next image cell. At the beginning of the aforesaid process and at the beginning of processing each line, an error is randomly chosen.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for compressing and decompressing electronic documents, with maximum intradocument independence, and maximum flexibility in optimization of compression modes. The method includes receiving documents containing unknown combinations of a plural data types, including combinations of scanned data, computer rendered data, compressed data and/or rendering tags; dividing the received image into strips of blocks determining from the image itself, which data types are present in each block; compressing data of each data type present in each block with a compression method optimized for its data type. Scanned data may be further segmented into plural scanned data types, where each data type is compressed in said compressing data step with a compression method optimized for said scanned image data type. If the received data type is compressed data, the process may include the additional functions of determining a compression ratio thereof, and accepting the compressed data for use as, or decompressing and recompressing the data, based on acceptability of said compression ration determination. An instruction set is generated that allows detailed decompression instruction data and image data to be combined with transmitted compressed data. A data structure is shown, which segregates data types and instruction data, and allows for block to block and strip to strip processing independence.
