US Patent:

7734209, Jun 8, 2010
Filed:

Jan 24, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/011102
Inventors:

Rabindra Pathak - Vancouver WA, US
Charles E. Pierson - Vancouver WA, US
Assignee:

Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc. - Camas WA
International Classification:

G03G 21/02
G03G 15/00
US Classification:

399 79, 358 115, 399 82
Abstract:

An imaging device utilizes click count fragmentation to provide separate click counts for service and billing purposes. Click count fragmentation maintains uninterrupted service counts and derives from service counts billing counts that more accurately reflect the number of pages generated that are usable by a customer. Billing counts may be paused, resumed, reset and displayed by authorized personnel via a local or remote imaging device interface. Accesses of billing counts by authorized personnel may be recorded in an audit trail.

US Patent:

8001404, Aug 16, 2011
Filed:

Mar 4, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/074531
Inventors:

Rabindra Pathak - Vancouver WA, US
Assignee:

Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc. - Camas WA
International Classification:

G06F 1/26
G06F 1/00
G06F 15/177
G06F 15/173
G06F 13/42
H04L 12/28
US Classification:

713320, 713300, 709220, 709223, 710105, 370254
Abstract:

A remote wakeup capability for an imaging device, such as a multifunction printer (MFP) device. When the imaging device enters a power saving mode, a remote wakeup web service remains awake and initiates wakeup of the imaging device in response to a valid wakeup request received from a remote wakeup web service client module. Wakeup of the imaging device is thus achieved without a need for action on the imaging device front panel or a local client device connected to the imaging device via a serial or parallel port, and without wasting resources processing a superfluous imaging job.

US Patent:

8069409, Nov 29, 2011
Filed:

Sep 6, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/899421
Inventors:

Rabindra Pathak - Vancouver WA, US
Assignee:

Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc. - Camas WA
International Classification:

G06F 17/00
G06F 15/16
US Classification:

715234, 715204, 715246, 715249, 715744, 709203
Abstract:

Methods and systems for customized remote access to imaging node front panels offer improvements in the areas of unified access, on-screen viewing and comprehension of front panels delivered by diverse imaging nodes to remote client nodes. The imaging nodes may be diverse, for example, in terms of message formats used to deliver front panel data, screen resolution assumptions implicit in front panel data and languages in which front panel data are delivered. Customization is provided, in some embodiments, by a server node that intermediates between the imaging nodes and the client nodes.

US Patent:

8145931, Mar 27, 2012
Filed:

May 27, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/154700
Inventors:

William John Vojak - Battle Ground WA, US
Rabindra Pathak - Vancouver WA, US
Assignee:

Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc. - Camas WA
International Classification:

G06F 1/26
G06F 1/32
G06F 1/00
US Classification:

713323, 713320
Abstract:

An imaging device with an adaptive power saving behavior conserves power by establishing reduced power mode entry and/or exit timeout values based on device usage statistics. Such an imaging device in some embodiments comprises at least one interface and a processor communicatively coupled with the interface, wherein under control of the processor the imaging device determines usage statistics for the imaging device based on jobs received on the interface and selects a power save entry timeout value for the imaging device based on the usage statistics.

Method And System For Updating The Software Of Multiple Network Nodes

US Patent:

8266260, Sep 11, 2012
Filed:

Dec 11, 2007
Appl. No.:

12/001378
Inventors:

Rabindra Pathak - Vancouver WA, US
Joseph B. Murdock - Camas WA, US
Assignee:

Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc. - Camas WA
International Classification:

G06F 15/177
US Classification:

709221, 709219
Abstract:

A method and system for updating a group of network nodes, such as a group of MFPs, with replacement software in a manner that improves network performance and the predictability of a completion time for installation of the replacement software involves throttling distribution of a software update package to avoid resource oversubscription while time-bounding distribution so that installation of the software update on all of the network nodes can be completed by a certain time and, in some embodiments, further involves determining a start time for distribution of the software update package based at least in part on a scheduled installation time selected by a network administrator, which provides a high degree of confidence that installation of the software update across the entire group of network nodes will be completed around a scheduled time (e. g. during “off hours”) notwithstanding the staggered distribution of the software update package.
