"We have developed a novel approach for the detection of MRI based on optical atomic magnetometry," said chemist Alexander Pines, one of the world's leading authorities on NMR/MRI technology and leader of the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) team. Pines holds a joint appointment as a chemist with Berkeley Lab's Materials Sciences Div. and with UC Be...

A significant factor in Hewlett-Packard’s new Printing Performance Architecture (see Article 1) is the reduction of the processing power embedded in the printer. Using the host PC for all image formatting leaves only motor, print cartridge, I/O, user interface, command, and status functions to be controlled by the firmware. This results in significant cost savings by reducing processor needs an...

Printer identification based on a printed document has many desirable forensic applications. In the electrophotographic process (EP) quasiperiodic banding artifacts can be used as an effective intrinsic signature. However, in text only document analysis, the absence of large midtone areas makes it difficult to capture suitable signals for banding detection. Frequency domain analysis based on th...

The needs for color printing is increasing to output color documents used for presentation data and the Internet. To meet these needs, high-speed electrophotographic color printers are becoming popular. Okidata has also commercialized electrophotographic color printers. This paper describes the hardware and software design technology of an electrophotographic color printer controller using a ta...

We present a new class of models for color printers. They form the basis for model-based techniques that exploit the characteristics of the printer and the human visual system to maximize the quality of the printed images. We present two model-based techniques, the modified error diffusion (MED) algorithm and the least-squares model-based (LSMB) algorithm. Both techniques are extensions of the ...

The release of the open source 3-D printer known as the RepRap (a self-Replicating Rapid prototyper) resulted in the potential for distributed manufacturing of products for significantly lower costs than conventional manufacturing. This development, coupled with open source-appropriate technology (OSAT), has enabled the opportunity for 3-D printers to be used for sustainable development. In thi...

printing and copying centers have been implicated as an emission source of pollution, and affecting air quality in closed environments. the aim of this study was to measure the btex compound (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes), and the intensity of electromagnetic fields and the uva ray in photocopy centers in the hamadan city. this descriptive study was done on 45 printing and copyi...

Language designers usually need to implement parsers and printers. Despite being two related programs, in practice they are designed and implemented separately. This approach has an obvious disadvantage: as a language evolves, both its parser and printer need to be separately revised and kept synchronised. Such tasks are routine but complicated and error-prone. To facilitate these tasks, we pro...
