Patent ID: 8036275

Claim:
A non-transient computer readable recording medium (CRRM) having coded instructions for carrying out a water ring scanning method of processing an initial data set, the CRRM coded instructions comprising: coded instructions for writing a portion of data from the initial data set into a data string with a scanner, wherein the initial data set organized into RC (Row Column) positions, a grouping of RC positions (RC grouping) of the initial data set being designated to correspond to an initial origin, the initial origin enveloped by a plurality of nested initial environs successively surrounding each other, each nested initial environ corresponding to a family of RC groupings of the initial data set, starting the writing of the portion of the data from the initial data set into the data string at the RC grouping corresponding to the initial origin (initial water ring ( 0 )) and by sequentially progressing the writing outwardly from the family of RC groupings corresponding to the nearest nested initial environ (initial water ring ( 1 )) towards the family of RC groupings corresponding to a furthest nested initial environ (initial water ring (n)).
