System And Method For The Dynamic Allocation Of Resources

View page
US Patent:
8386286, Feb 26, 2013
Filed:
May 26, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/116893
Inventors:
Sharath Srinivas - Webster NY, US
Rakesh Kulkarni - Webster NY, US
Sudhendu Rai - Fairport NY, US
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT
International Classification:
G06Q 40/00
US Classification:
705 711, 705 742
Abstract:
A system and method for dynamically allocating resources in a process. A demand pattern change detection unit, a future demand forecasting unit and a process optimization engine can be employed to constantly adjust resource allocation and assist in maintaining processes in a state of peak performance. An initial resource allocation unit generates an initial resource allocation plan based on past experience with respect to the process. The change detection unit detects a shift in the job demand pattern utilizing a statistical data when a change occurs in process requirements. The future demand generation unit accurately generates future demand data based on current job data and the outlook of future demand. The optimization engine acts as a surrogate process expert and provides recommendations to the process owner regarding potential possible resource allocation policies for new job demand data utilizing a simulation process to predict the result of variable staffing configurations.

Image Alignment Procedure

View page
US Patent:
8412088, Apr 2, 2013
Filed:
Jun 18, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/486955
Inventors:
Abu Saeed Islam - Rochester NY, US
Rakesh Suresh Kulkarni - Webster NY, US
Jack Elliot - Penfield NY, US
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT
International Classification:
G03G 15/00
H04N 1/04
US Classification:
399379, 358474
Abstract:
This is an alignment system where precise alignment of a reproducible image is obtained with respect to the paper. An imaged paper to be reproduced is placed on a light table having a right angle fitting or marking. The paper is placed on top of the light table and is aligned with this right angle marking. A transparent platen with marked scales is placed over the imaged paper and also aligned with the right angle fitting. The scales are placed over the corners of the image and image corner location readings are taken from the scales. These readings are then entered and fixed into a marking system such as an electrophotographic printer for reproduction of copies from the aligned and fixed original image.

Reducing Iop Registration Error In A Digital Document System

View page
US Patent:
8503037, Aug 6, 2013
Filed:
Jun 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/480945
Inventors:
Rakesh Suresh Kulkarni - Webster NY, US
Beilei Xu - Penfield NY, US
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT
International Classification:
G06K 15/02
G06T 5/00
US Classification:
358 326, 358 327, 358 21, 358518, 358 112, 358 332, 382162, 382167
Abstract:
What is disclosed is a novel method for reducing errors in IOP registration of a digital document system. In one embodiment, a number of digital pages (10, for example) are received in the image path. For each of a process and lateral direction of a first side of each digital image, a total amount of IOP registration error to be corrected is determined. A portion of the total IOP registration error is estimated that is separable error. Each of the estimated separable errors are subtracted from the total IOP registration error to obtain an amount of non-separable error in each respective direction. The non-separable error values are averaged to obtain an error value for each direction per-side. The error values are compensated for in their respective directions per-side by adjustments to the device in an amount which is equal in magnitude and in an opposite direction to the error.

Method And Apparatus For Measuring Image On Paper Registration

View page
US Patent:
8520266, Aug 27, 2013
Filed:
Nov 24, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/625252
Inventors:
Jack Gaynor Elliot - Penfield NY, US
Rakesh Suresh Kulkarni - Webster NY, US
Martin Edward Hoover - Rochester NY, US
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT
International Classification:
H04N 1/00
US Classification:
358406, 358 19, 358448, 358474
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for measuring image on paper registration including placing a test sheet of media including a plurality of test pattern marks on a platen of an image sensing device. The platen defines a scan area over which the image sensing device is capable of scanning an image. The image sensing device includes a plurality of calibration marks falling within the scan area. The method further includes operating the scanner to scan the test sheet; determining a scanned position of the calibration marks and a scanned position of the test marks resulting from the scan; comparing the scanned position of the calibration marks with reference position of the calibration marks to determine scanning error; determining an adjusted position of the test marks responsive to the scanning error; and comparing the adjusted test mark positions with predetermined reference positions to measure registration accuracy. An edge guide disposed on the platen assists in aligning the test sheet for scanning.

Digital Compensation Method And Apparatus Using Image-To-Image Distortion Map Relating Reference Mark Grids

View page
US Patent:
8045218, Oct 25, 2011
Filed:
Oct 15, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/251808
Inventors:
Mu Qiao - Webster NY, US
Robert P. Loce - Webster NY, US
Daniel W. Costanza - Webster NY, US
Rakesh S. Kulkarni - Webster NY, US
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT
International Classification:
H04N 1/58
US Classification:
358 15, 358 326, 358504, 358540
Abstract:
A digital image processing method. The method includes printing a first set of reference marks on one side of a substrate with a first print engine; printing a second set of reference marks on the same side of the substrate as the first set of reference marks with a second print engine; sensing both sets of reference marks on the substrate with an image sensing unit and generating a digital image of the reference marks; performing image analysis on the digital image to obtain an image-to-image distortion map where the image-to-image distortion map is a local measure of difference between the first set of reference marks and the second set of reference marks; and generating a compensated customer image by using the image-to-image distortion map to reduce registration errors when using the first and second print engines.

Method And System For Correcting Lateral Position Error

View page
US Patent:
20090115124, May 7, 2009
Filed:
Nov 5, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/934966
Inventors:
Alexander J. Fioravanti - Penfield NY, US
Rakesh Suresh Kulkarni - Webster NY, US
Abu Islam - Rochester NY, US
Keith Andrew Buddendeck - Rochester NY, US
Saurabh Prabhat - Webster NY, US
International Classification:
B65H 7/02
B65H 7/14
US Classification:
271227
Abstract:
A method of removing media lateral DC position errors in a long paper path using closed loop correction is disclosed. The amount of lateral DC media shift error generated (or the lateral DC correction required) in the paper path is sensed by a CCD or full width array sensor located in the downstream paper path. In the closed loop, this information is used to energize a motorized actuator in the upstream paper path to correct for lateral DC errors in the media path. Thus, the paper is delivered to the downstream media path within specifications.

View page
US Patent:
20110196718, Aug 11, 2011
Filed:
Feb 9, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/702556
Inventors:
Rakesh Suresh Kulkarni - Webster NY, US
Sudhendu Rai - Fairport NY, US
Assignee:
XEROX CORPORATION - Norwalk CT
International Classification:
G06Q 10/00
G06Q 50/00
US Classification:
705 731, 705 28
Abstract:
A system for forecasting an inventory level for a consumable in a print production environment may include a computing device and a computer-readable storage medium in communication with the computing device. The computer-readable storage medium may include one or more programming instructions for identifying a demand distribution for a print product resource consumable, identifying a first seasonal period in the demand distribution, creating a seasonally adjusted demand distribution, identifying a second seasonal period in the seasonally adjusted demand distribution, creating an updated seasonally adjusted demand distribution, using a forecasting model to automatically forecast a predicted future demand value for the consumable, updating the predicted future demand value using, determining whether additional inventory is needed based on at least the updated predicted future demand value, and in response to a need for additional inventory, generating an order for the print product resource consumable.
