    Abstract: An image forming apparatus, a method and a computer readable medium for color verification of an image forming apparatus are disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes a sensing device configured to read a color chart; and a processor configured to: perform a first color verification job; perform a second color verification job after the first color verification job when the first color verification job is interrupted, the second color verification job including one or more color patches from a previous color verification job; acquire measurement data from the previous color verification job; acquire measurement data from the second color verification job; and determine whether to re-use the measurement data of the previous color verification job based on one or more differences between the measurement data of the previous color verification job and the measurement data of the second color verification job.

    Abstract: A method involves managing electronic documents (EDs). The method includes receiving a first request to convert an original ED including a visible object from a first format to a second format; extracting, in response to the first request, multiple attributes in the original ED specifying the visible object and required to restore the visible object in the first format; generating, by converting the original ED from the first format to the second format, a converted ED including rendering data of the visible object that is grammatically native to the second format and that is necessary to render the visible object from the second format; and embedding the attributes extracted from the original ED into metadata of the converted ED.

    Abstract: An improved method and related apparatus for detecting bacteria viability and drug effects using metabolic monitoring. A fluorescent material which is quenched by oxygen is co-localized with the target bacteria, and fluorescence signal is detected at the co-localized places. In some embodiments, the fluorescent material is a fluorescent nanoparticle mixed with the target bacteria in the sample, and co-localization is enhanced using centrifugation, electrophoresis, microflow path modified with antibodies, magnetic force, etc. In some other embodiments, the fluorescent material is a fluorescent film or 3-D matrix immobilized in the bacterial culture chamber, and bacteria in the sample is gathered into localized regions of the bacteria culture chamber where the fluorescent film or 3-D matrix is present by ways of centrifugation, electrophoresis or microflow path. Plasmonic nanoparticles with a metal core and plasmonic film with a metal film may be used as the fluorescent nanoparticles and fluorescent film.

    Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and a primary server are disclosed for transferring data over a communication network from an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The method include receiving a data packet from the IoT device on an application running on a primary server, the data packet having a stateless autoconfiguration IPv6 address, which is configured at least partially based on a device identifier assigned to the IoT device; modifying the stateless autoconfiguration IPv6 address associated with the IoT device identifier to generate a global IP address with the application running on the primary server; and sending the data packet with the global IP address from the primary server to one or more secondary servers over the communication network.

    Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a system are disclosed, which use OAuth2 to secure IPv6 Neighbor Discovery. The method including sending a Neighbor Discovery duplicate address detection (DAD) package from a client device on a communication network, the Neighbor Discovery DAD package having an authorization code for an OAuth2 token for access to an IPv6 network; receiving the Neighbor Discovery DAD package with the authorization code on an authorizing device, the authorizing device configured to issue OAuth2 tokens; issuing the OAuth2 token having an expiration to the client device for access to the IPv6 network; and allowing the client device to access the IPv6 network until the expiration of the OAuth2 token.

    Abstract: Complete removal of an underline which intersects a character may cause problems in a subsequent character recognition or conversion process, when parts of the character which coincided with the underline are also removed. To help reduce the problems, parts of underline may be removed from an image while parts of the character that coincide with the underline are maintained in the image. Areas where the character coincides with the underline are defined from a reduced version of the underline. When the underline is removed, the areas where the character coincide with the underline are maintained in a second image. The second image may then be subjected to a character recognition or conversion process with potentially fewer problems.

    Abstract: A gas concentration-length quantification method may include acquiring a first image including a gas plume with a camera; identifying and segmenting pixels corresponding to the gas plume in the first image; creating a mask image corresponding to the first image, where only pixels of the mask image corresponding to the gas plume in the first image have non-zero values; generating a background image corresponding to the first image using an image inpainting algorithm with the first image and the mask image as inputs; calculating a gas concentration-length for each pixel corresponding to the gas plume in the first image, based on the first image and the background image data; and triggering an alert when the gas concentration-length for at least one pixel exceeds a threshold level.
