An automated storage unit publishing system may include a recording device for recording information on a storage unit memory chip; a bin plate with a storage unit bin and a casing bin; an assembling mechanism movably attached to the bin plate, the assembling deck comprising a shuttle for removing a selected sized casing from the casing bin and a recorded flash memory chip from the chip bin and assembling the two into a single unit using pressure; a printing device for printing marks, indications or decoration on the casing, and a gripping device for placing the finished unit in an output mechanism.

Provided is a drawing apparatus including a drawing mechanism configured to perform a drawing on a nail of an object being a finger or a toe, and a processor.

The processor acquires a first captured image of the nail and a second captured image of the nail, the first and the second captured image being images captured from a first direction by an imaging device located at a position along the first direction from a first location of a surface of the nail, the first captured image being an image captured by the imaging device at a position where a distance along the first direction between the imaging device and the first location of the surface of the nail is a first distance, and the second captured image being an image captured by the imaging device at a position where a distance along the first direction between the imaging device and the first location of the surface of the nail is a second distance different from the first distance. Moreover, the processor acquires a value of a width of the nail on the basis of the first captured image and the second captured image.

A method and system for producing a plant-based image includes receiving a source image; screening the source image into a set of picture elements; and producing raster data indicating at least a type or density of seeds or plants to plant for each picture element.

A method comprises obtaining a training dataset, the training dataset comprising sheet passage interval information associated with conveyance of a plurality of sheets in a sheet conveyance path of a training sheet processing apparatus, at least a portion of the sheets of the plurality of sheets having a known sheet classification of a set of sheet classifications; obtaining sheet timing data associated with the classifying, the sheet timing data comprising sheet passage interval information associated with conveyance of a predetermined number of sheets in the sheet conveyance path of a deployed sheet processing apparatus; classifying, using a machine learning model and the training dataset and the sheet timing data, for each interval window of a plurality of different interval windows, a predetermined number of sheets in a sheet conveyance path of a deployed sheet processing apparatus as a particular classification of the set of sheet classifications; and adjusting, based on the classifying, one or more operational parameters of a deployed sheet processing apparatus.

A transform wrapper is stored on a memory device and the memory device may be included in a printer cartridge. The transform wrapper may dynamically build a transform map for a printer based on metadata stored at the memory device. The metadata may indicate at least one of a type of depositing material, transform map, print media and printer.

An information processing apparatus used to determine a waveform of a drive pulse applied to a drive element provided in a liquid discharge head for discharging a liquid includes a first reception unit that receives an input of first information for determining a first waveform as the waveform of the drive pulse, a second reception unit that receives an input of second information for determining a second waveform different from the first waveform, as the waveform of the drive pulse, and a third reception unit that receives an input of third information regarding whether or not to adjust at least a portion of the second waveform to be identical to an element of the first waveform, the third information being used when the second waveform is determined.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for dynamically personalizing a respiratory mask. A method for the dynamic personalization of a respiratory mask includes electronically scanning an identification of a guest on an oceangoing vessel, querying a data store of images of guest faces for an image of a face matching the identification of the guest, retrieving the matching image of the face into memory of the computing system, loading a printer with a respiratory mask such as an N95 mask or a KN95 mask, printing onto the mask a portion of the matching image of the face corresponding to a portion of the face obscured by the mask when the mask is worn by the guest and ejecting the mask with the printing from the printer.

An image forming device comprising a processing section processing a provisionally combined datum into which a part image datum and a pattern datum included in marking data are merged, the part image datum being prepared by arranging picture pattern data into a shape of the picture pattern data for each of parts, the processing section including a margin setting section setting a margin on a periphery of the part and an image processing section arranging an image prepared based on the part image datum in an area of the margin.

A computer-implemented method is provided for dosing ink in a digital printing device with multiple ink channels, when printing on a reflective substrate. A digital printing system configured with the method is also provided. Target color data of a target color to be printed on the reflective substrate is captured, including both color data and spectral reflectance data. The captured color data is processed with a printer model to output a preliminary dosing ratio for each ink channel. A digital opacity value for the target color is computed from the dosing ratio of each ink channel. A natural opacity value for the for the target color is computed from the captured spectral reflectance data, and a difference between the digital and natural opacity values is calculated. A predicted dosing ratio for each ink channel is obtained by interpolating the difference against an ink step of a diffuse ink component of the target color.

A textile printing system for digital printing of colored images onto typically colored fabrics, digitally using print nozzles or other digital means, the nozzles printing print pixels onto the fabrics. The system comprises a print file defining pixel colors for the individual printing pixels; and a deletion unit which deletes print pixels from the print file wherever a respective pixel color is within a threshold distance of the fabric color. The textile printer then prints the print pixels onto the fabric to form a colored image without printing any of the deleted pixels.
