Title: Thomas A. Hayes: Innovator in Imaging Technology
Introduction
Thomas A. Hayes is a notable inventor based in Clifton Springs, NY (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of imaging technology, holding a total of 2 patents. His work primarily focuses on enhancing the processes involved in digital imaging and electrostatographic printing.
Latest Patents
Hayes' latest patents include "Image halftone generation by static RAM look-up table." This invention describes a halftone conversion system that converts digital pixels to binary pixels. The system utilizes individual matrices in a memory with progressively changing x, y matrices of binary pixels. The addressing mechanism is composed of a block of x pixels, a block of y lines, and the digital value of the pixel being processed. The output is a binary pixel derived from the pixel located at the x, y coordinates of the addressed matrix. Another significant patent is "Process control for electrostatographic printers." This invention involves an electrostatographic printer that employs a scanning laser beam to expose a photoreceptor based on image signals. The printer features a pulse-width modulator that modulates the beam when exposing gray level image pixels, responding to the current developing density measured from the ac component of a combined ac/dc developer bias.
