Patent GB-2377798-B (GB)
Title: Management of print services
Inventor: CHRISTODOULOU ATHENA
IPC: G06F3/12
Filed: 2001-07-21
Granted: 2005-09-28
Abstract: Print jobs requested are scheduled to be performed during available time slots, and on suitable printers having lowest associated overhead cost. In the event that no technically suitable printer is available a print services management programme determines whether it is economically viable to cancel one or more pre-scheduled print jobs in favour of the requested job, taking into account, for example, the price of the requested job and scheduled jobs. In a development a bidding routine establishes at what price it is viable to cancel a scheduled job in favour of a requested job, and that price is then offered to a customer. Future work inflow is predicted and represented in the form of virtual jobs which are scheduled in the same manner as actual jobs, but whose value is representative of the likelihood of the job maturing into an actual job. In a further development, demand on printer hardware arising from the scheduling of virtual jobs is used to monitor predicted future hardware requirements, and when virtual demand exceeds a threshold, an order is placed for procurement of further hardware.

Title: Digital signal processing with improved mapping
Inventor: HOBSON MICHAEL P
IPC: G06F17/14
Filed: 2003-11-10
Granted: 2007-04-25
Abstract: A method of performing a signal enhancement operation on a digital input signal is described. The method produces a best estimate of a true signal which the digital input signal is assumed to represent. The method involves deriving a plurality of candidate mappings, each defining a mapping between the signal domain of the digital input signal and an alternative optimisation domain, each signal in the signal domain corresponding to a set of optimisation parameters in the optimisation domain. For each candidate mapping, an indicator of the quality of the candidate mapping is calculated an a set of optimisation parameters in the optimisation domain of the candidate mapping is generated, the set of optimisation parameters re resenting an enhanced signal in that domain. The highest-quality mapping is then selected in dependence on the calculated indicators, and the set of optimisation parameters generated for the selected mapping is selected. The selected mapping is applied to the selected set of optimisation parameters to produce an enhanced digital signal. The method finds application in a variety of signal processing fields including image processing, and is applicable for exmple, to image processing tasks such as image enhancement or image reconstruction.
