Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for rendering a halftone image on a medium. The original continuous tone image is divided into a plurality of pixels and each pixel is representative of an area of the original image. Each pixel may comprise a plurality of dots and a level represents the number of dots to be placed within the pixel. Level also refers to an amount of ink which is placed on a medium. Each level is represented as a dot placement and potential dot placements are stored in a data structure. The data structure is large enough to hold the potential levels of one or more pixels. Thus, more than one pixel can be processed and rendered at the same time. The data structure is referenced by the levels of the pixel to be printed and the dot placement stored at the referenced level is output to the output device. Alternatively, the level can represent the number of times a particular printing head will fire or, in the case of a printer having multiple heads per color, which heads will fire for a particular pixel. In this manner, the levels of the halftone image are reproduced on an image. The systems and methods for the present invention permit an original image to be rendered at high resolutions while they are processed at lower resolutions.

Abstract: The present invention provides for both a composition and method for producing a scratch resistant coating applied to an acoustical panel. The coating primarily comprises binder, filler and mica and is typically applied as a spray. The coating can be characterized as a discontinuous film, whereby sound can pass through the coating to the panel for attenuating sound. The coating is thus enabled to provide a finish and color without compromising the acoustical performance of the substrate. The process primarily comprises combining and mixing the dry components of filler, binder and mica and then combining the same with water and mixing to create an aqueous mix that can be applied to the acoustical panel and dried.

Abstract: The invention provides a deep-water fish farming system comprising a fish cage (200) of controllable buoyancy having one or more chambers (202), which can be submerged and refloated at a controllable rate to any depth. A winch mechanism (214) mounted preferably on a platform that covers a section of the cage releases and gathers a cable connected to a sinker (306). When the combined weight of the system overcomes the buoyancy, the fish cage is submerged to a depth determined by the effective length of the cable between the winch mechanism and the sinker, with the sinker touching the sea bottom. The submerged cage is refloated to the surface by remotely activating the winch mechanism, thus releasing the cable, while keeping the sinker on the sea bottom. When the cage is refloated to the surface, the buoyancy is increased to allow pulling of the sinker from the bottom. The invention further provides a method for submerging and raising a fish cage at a controlled rate to any desired depth in deep water. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Printing plates can be reliably extracted from a plate cylinder with an automatic plate changer even when the plate lock has a very narrow plate gap between the trailing edge and the leading edge of the printing plate. First, the trailing edge of a printing plate is released by the locking member and the printing plate is elastically deformed at the trailing edge. This allows the guide fork of the automatic plate changer to reliably peel the printing plate away from the plate cylinder. In addition, the guide fork may engage the leading edge of the printing plate after the plate lock has been disengaged once more and peel the leading edge away from the plate cylinder by pivoting away from the cylinder.

Abstract: Specific transfer methods and articles to impart a metal-ion based antimicrobial finish to recipient textile surfaces. Such treatments preferably comprise silver ions, particularly as constituents of inorganic metal salts or zeolites. In particular, the inventive method involves the application of a solid, inorganic antimicrobial material to a donor substrate (such as a dryer sheet), and the subsequent placement of such a substrate within a tumble drying machine containing textile fabrics and operating the machine. The donor substrate, upon contact with the recipient textile fabrics, transfers antimicrobially effective amounts of the metal-ion based compounds to such recipient fabrics thereby imparting at least a temporary antimicrobial finish over at least a portion of such fabrics. The donor substrates, with either the antimicrobial compound alone or mixed with standard tumble dryer additives (such as perfumes, fabric softeners, fiber lubricants, and the like) are also contemplated within this invention.
