Title: Gregory K Adams: Innovator in Printing Technology
Introduction
Gregory K Adams is a notable inventor based in Tomball, TX (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of printing technology, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the performance and accuracy of printers, particularly in the areas of continuous-tone printing and margin control.
Latest Patents
One of Adams' latest patents is for a "Continuous-tone printer with edge enhancement." This invention includes print enhancement circuitry designed to produce smooth edges that respond to continuous-tone pixel data. The translation circuitry translates the continuous-tone data into single-tone data based on a predetermined threshold. The single-tone data is stored in memory linked to edge enhancement circuitry, allowing for either enhanced pixel data or continuous-tone data to be used for printing edges, depending on the pixel's value relative to quantization thresholds.
Another significant patent is for "Margin control for laser printers." This invention provides circuitry that controls the margin of a laser printer by timing a preset margin on the first scanline of a page at high frequency for improved accuracy. Subsequent scanlines are positioned based on the count generated from the preset margin, enabling the laser to be modulated at higher speeds without sacrificing margin accuracy.
