20130327239, Dec 12, 2013

Filed:

Jun 12, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/494504

Inventors:

Ragy Adly Isaac - Oak Brook IL, US
John Sheridan Richards - Barrington NH, US

Assignee:

Goss International Americas Inc - Durham

International Classification:

B41F 1/18
B41K 1/38

US Classification:

1014501, 101335

Abstract:

A method of controlling the ink feed to a printed substrate in a lithographic printing press is provided which includes providing, for each of a plurality of ink zones, an ink coverage requirement for a printing unit of the lithographic printing press; color scanning a first ink zone of a plurality of ink zones on a printed substrate as it exits the printing unit of the lithographic printing press; calculating, for each one of the plurality of ink zones, a dynamic flow change based on the static flow change for said each one of the plurality of ink zones and the ink coverage requirement for said each one of the plurality of ink zones; and providing a flow setting for each one of the plurality of ink zones based on the dynamic flow change for said each one of the plurality of ink zones.

US Patent:

Filed:

Nov 26, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/097472

Inventors:

Kenneth W. Dabisch - Bolingbrook IL
John S. Richards - Bolingbrook IL

Assignee:

Rockwell International Corporation - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

G06M 700

US Classification:

235 92SB

Abstract:

An apparatus for the non-contacting counting of newspapers and the like which are being transported in shingled or overlapped relationship by a continuous conveyor system, which apparatus includes, a source of radiant energy positioned to direct a stream of energy against the surface of the overlapped moving papers, energy sensors positioned to receive energy reflected from the surfaces of the papers at a plurality of locations and means responsive to the output from the sensors to derive a signal indicative of the number of papers passing beneath the source of radiant energy.

US Patent:

40384934, Jul 26, 1977

Filed:

Dec 6, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/748128

Inventors:

John S. Richards - Bolingbrook IL

Assignee:

Rockwell International Corporation - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

H04L 1500

US Classification:

178 15

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for use in phototypesetting operations wherein a character, e. g. in transparency form, is scanned, for example, by a lightspot output of a cathode ray tube of the phototypesetting apparatus, processed to a suitable format and stored, e. g. in a magnetic storage medium, for subsequent phototypeset reproduction.

US Patent:

42003695, Apr 29, 1980

Filed:

May 23, 1978

Appl. No.:

5/908772

Inventors:

John S. Richards - Bolingbrook IL
Alan G. DePaoli - Bolingbrook IL

Assignee:

Information National, Inc. - Culver City CA

International Classification:

B41B 1904
B41B 2130

US Classification:

354 7

Abstract:

There is described method and apparatus for use in phototypesetting operations wherein a character is scanned by a plurality of scans or strokes of a light spot output of a cathode ray tube (CRT) of the phototypesetting apparatus, and output signals derived from a photosensor device in response to the light spot, are compacted to be stored in a magnetic storage device. In particular, each stroke is examined to determine which method of a plurality of compacting methods will produce the smallest quantity of image data, thus requiring the minimum storage area within the storage device.
