A printer driver and an advanced UI application are associated with each other during installation, and the advanced UI application is activated in a different process using a COM when the printer driver is called.

CD variations and/or MD variations in scan measurements are determined from spectral components of power spectra of scan measurements taken using two or more scanning speeds. Dominant spectral components having the same spatial frequencies identify CD variations and dominant spectral components having the same temporal frequencies identify MD variations. Dominant spectral components are extracted from a noisy power spectrum (PS) by sorting all spectral components into an ordered PS. A first polynomial representing background noise of the ordered PS is used to set a first threshold. Spectral components of the ordered PS that exceed the first threshold are removed to form a noise PS. A second polynomial representing the noise PS is used to set a second threshold. Spectral components of the PS that exceed the second threshold are identified as dominant spectral components of the PS.

A server disclosed herein may include a controller configured to: receive a location information request for requesting sending of location information from a function executing device; receive a first screen request including the location information from a first terminal device that has obtained the location information; send screen data representing the setting change screen to the first terminal device; receive a change request for requesting a change of the setting information from the first terminal device; and in a case where the change request is received from the first terminal device, change the setting information in the memory according to the change request.

A processor with an accumulator. An event is selected to produce one or more selected events. A reset signal to the accumulator is generated responsive to the selected event. Responsive to the reset signal, the accumulator is reset to zero or another initial value while avoiding breaking pipelined execution of the processor.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure performing conversation sentiment monitoring for a conversation data object. In various embodiments, a text block that can be resized is identified within a conversation data object and successive regularized sentiment profile generation iterations are performed until a regularized sentiment score of the block exceeds a regularized sentiment score threshold. A current regularized sentiment profile generation iteration involves determining a regularized sentiment score for the block based on an initial sentiment score, a subjectivity probability value, and, optionally, a stage-wise penalty factor. A determination is then made as to whether the score exceeds the threshold. If so, then a regularized sentiment profile of the conversation data object is updated based on the regularized sentiment score. If not, then the text block is resized and a subsequent regularized sentiment profile generation iteration is performed based on the resized block.

An image processing apparatus includes: an identification information receiving unit that receives identification information of an agent who was requested in advance from an applicant to proceed with an application procedure for processing a case instead, the application procedure requesting an approval by an approver; an authorizer information receiving unit that receives information about the applicant who requested in advance the agent of the received identification information to proceed with the application procedure instead; an image acquisition unit that acquires an image; and a transmission unit that transmits the acquired image as an image relating to the applicant based on a transmission instruction from the agent.

A method for providing directed transmission of sound waves, through modulation on an ultrasonic carrier, may comprise connecting, at least one directed sound source to an audio system, emitting, via the at least one directed sound source, audio from the audio system, wherein the emitting comprises emitting medium frequency audio sound waves and higher frequency audio sound waves. The audio may be selected via a master control unit, which may be operatively coupled to a mobile application. In many embodiments, a first audio selection is configured to be heard only through a first directed sound source, and a second audio selection is configured to be heard only through a second directed sound source.

Systems and methods for automatically adjusting volume of a media asset are provided. A display of a content navigation page is generated. The content navigation page is associated with a media asset. A navigation distance from a current position in the content navigation page to the media asset within the content navigation page is determined. The navigation distance is cross-referenced with a database of volume levels associated with navigation distances to identify a volume level that is associated with the navigation distance. Audio of the media asset is caused to be presented at the identified volume level.

Techniques to control addition of representations to an application launcher are described. In one or more implementations, an input is received by a computing device to add a representation of an application or content to the application launcher of the computing device. The application launcher has a plurality of representations of applications or content that are selectable to navigate to a user interface corresponding with a respective application or content and are assigned into respective ones of a plurality of groups that together compose a plurality of linear arrangements of the groups. A location is controlled by the computing device at which to include the added representation in the application launcher based at least in part a determination of whether one of the plurality of groups is associated with a positional tag.

The present disclosure discloses methods and systems for directly adding one or more supporting documents to an application form. The systems and methods include storing an electronic wallet of a user, including one or more supporting documents of the user. Further, the method includes receiving an application form for a pre-defined function including printing or scanning. Once received, a user interface is provided to the user to provide input on addition of the one or more supporting documents to the received application form. Thereafter, the received application form is processed. Further, based on the input from the user, one or more supporting documents and/or content of the one or more supporting documents are added to the received application form. Finally, the application form including the one or more supporting documents and/or content of the one or more supporting documents in the submitted application form is outputted.
