Abstract: Tilt and vibration sensor and method for forming the sensor with a
piezoresistive membrane (10) having a weight (16) affixed proximate its center
for detecting the tilt and vibration of a body. The membrane (10) may include
four piezoresistors (12, 14) placed proximate the edges (20, 22) of the
membrane (10) at the points of maximum stress when the membrane (10) is
subject to a uniform applied pressure. The piezoresistors (12, 14) may form a
Wheatstone bridge circuit to generate a first (34) and second output voltage (36)
in response to changes in resistance of the piezoresistors (12, 14) under the
uniform applied pressure. The first output voltage (34) may be indicative of the
angle of inclination of a body and the second output voltage (36) may be
indicative of the vibration of the body. The membrane (10) may be fabricated
from a silicon wafer using known photolithography and etching processes. The
membrane (10) maybe connected with a voltage source and secured within an
appropriate housing to be placed in an operational environment.

Abstract: There is disclosed in embodiments methods for halftone dot encoding
for engine-dependent-rendering. The methods first carefully design an asymmetric
halftone dot for a specific printer and then utilizes a halftone dot encoding algorithm,
which encodes the asymmetric halftone dot into a symmetric format. The asymmetric
halftone dot design is satisfies the requirements of raster output scanner electronics, as
well as several engine dependent constraints. These include: rotation insensitivity,
minimum dot size, minimum hole size, minimum appendage, and minimum cavity.
The symmetric dot encoding allows perfect reconstruction of the binaries that may
have been generated using the original asymmetric dot. This reconstruction is achieved
using imbedded binary resolution conversion. In this way, this resolution conversion
is acting as a decoder.
