Title: Image-forming device having on-line image quality assessment and related method
Inventor: REGELSBERGER MATTHIAS H
IPC: G03G15/00
Filed: 2001-07-06
Abstract: An electrophotographic (EP) image-forming device and related method are provided for on-line quantitative assessment of the image formation and development process. The EP image-forming device has a primary charger, an exposure device, a toning station, a transfer charger, a fusing station, and a cleaner operatively disposed about a photoconductor. A transmission densitometer is positioned adjacent to the photoconductor. The densitometer determines the photoconductor density and the combination photoconductor and toner density for each step area on the image frame. The density readings are stored in memory. The photoconductor densities are subtracted from the combined densities to provide measured toner densities, which are then averaged for each step area. The average measured toner densities or voltage readings are compared to the aim toner densities or voltage readings for each step in the step tablet to quantitatively assess the image quality of the image-forming process. Preferably, every image frame on the photoconductor is assessed successively.

IPC: H04W8/02
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: National mobile networks are provided with a proxy location register for storing user identities in association with respective network identities. Users have an associated "mobile home" for storing call handling instructions and messages recorded by a Voicemail system. When a user roams from a current host network to a visited network, he may request that his mobile home be moved from its current location, most likely that current host network, to the visited network, and retrieval of any messages that have been left for that user can now be done without involving real-time use of international links between networks. Furthermore, when the mobile home has moved, its new location, with or without call handling instructions, can be manually or automatically notified to all other networks, or a subset, for location register updating. The use of this location information can avoid tromboning over expensive international links, and the call handling instructions enables remote networks to decide if a connection is to be attempted to a destination network.
