Title: The Innovations of Marcus Willibrordus Krom
Introduction
Marcus Willibrordus Krom is a notable inventor based in Eindhoven, Netherlands. He has made significant contributions to the field of printing technology, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and quality of print jobs through innovative methods and systems.
Latest Patents
One of Krom's latest patents is a "Print engine for printing a print job using appropriate calibration data." This invention allows a print engine to produce printed output according to image data in a print job. It features a user interface with an activation element that enables printing a part of the image data using currently applicable calibration data. After inspecting the printed output, the selected print job can be completed without further calibration or after performing a calibration. This calibration adjusts the intensity of process colors based on a job control value within the selected print job, making the effects of calibration directly visible to the user.
Another significant patent is the "Method for composing a reflectivity histogram and reprographic apparatus using this method." This method involves creating a global histogram of pixel values from a hardcopy original by dividing a detection area into stripes. For each stripe, a local histogram is generated and added to a candidate histogram. If it is determined that a stripe belongs to the original, the candidate histogram is incorporated into the global histogram. This approach ensures a representative histogram of the original is obtained, even when distinguishing between white pixels from the original and the scanner cover is challenging. The method is implemented in an electronic component, including an application-specific processing unit.
