Patent EP-1667426-A3 (EP)
Inventor: TAKATA TSUTOMU
IPC: H04N1/50
Filed: 2005-12-02
Abstract: With this invention, color shifting correction is performed first based on amount-of-shifting information indicating the amount of shifting with respect to the scanning direction on an image carrier of each image forming unit, and halftone processing is then performed, thus suppressing generation of moiré due to the color shifting correction, and forming a high-quality image. To this end, an image forming engine has color amount-of-shifting storage units C, M, Y, and K (black) which store actual amounts of shifting with respect to ideal scan directions on image carriers C, M, Y, and K in image forming units C, M, Y, and K. Color shifting correction amount arithmetic units C, M, Y, and K calculate color shifting correction amounts for respective color components on the basis of the stored color amounts of shifting. Color shifting correction units C, M, Y, and K perform color shifting correction by converting coordinates upon reading out image data from bitmap memories C, M, Y, and K on the basis of the calculated color shifting correction amounts, and then perform tone correction. Data after tone correction undergo halftone processing by halftone processors C, M, Y, and K. PWM processors C, M, Y, and K generate PWM signals for scanning, and output them to exposure units C, M, Y, and K of the respective image forming units.

Abstract: A development environment in which unit tests are prepared. The unit tests run in a host environment for more complete and accurate testing of program units. The development environment uses a test execution shim to access an adapter running in the host environment. The host adapter may invoke other program objects that run specific tests. Such objects may late bind to the unit under test. An accessor class may facilitate late binding to the specific unit under test while allowing tests authored in the development environment to use context sensitive information needed to access the unit under test.

Abstract: A data storage system is used in a computer environment where there are plural host computers (100) and plural storage array controllers (1400). When a remote copy is made while assuring the order of writing across plural storage array controllers, one of the host computers (100a) gains copy information about all the storage array controllers associated with the remote copy as a representative. The representative one of the storage array controllers collects and stores copy statuses which are individually managed by the storage array controllers for which a remote copy is made. The host computer gains the copy statuses from the representative controller using an instruction to gain the copy statuses.
