Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for a "Multiple Image Facsimile." This invention controls a facsimile system to reduce four source documents and print all four reduced copies on a single copy page. The system prints one of the source documents in each quadrant of the copy document. The images of the source documents are reduced in the horizontal dimension by discarding every other picture element in the scan image. The vertical dimension is adjusted by increasing the scanner speed, effectively doubling the size of the picture element. At the receiver, two scanned and reduced images are printed on the left-hand half of the copy document, followed by two additional images on the right-hand half. The printer must start printing at the horizontal mid-page of the copy document for the right-hand side.
Another significant patent is the "Facsimile Mid-Page Restart." This method and apparatus allow for restarting a facsimile operation after a mid-page interrupt without overlapping or splitting the image. The system operates without a one-to-one synchronous relationship between synchronized mechanisms. When a mid-page interrupt occurs, the line position is remembered, and the carriage is backed up to a point prior to the interrupt. Upon restart, the carriage is resynchronized to ensure that printing resumes on the next line without any image distortion.
