Two-dimensional absolute position sensor and projection control for a handheld printer

A handheld portable printer includes members and a handle that are joined together to form a generally O-shaped device. The members provide a rigid and strong structure and an area for housing a projector to project an image on the print surface of the image to be printed. The bottom member houses a pair of absolute position sensors spaced apart and aligned upon the longitudinal axis on the bottom of the handheld portable printer. A controller is associated with the absolute position sensors to produce precise position information. The controller uses the precise position information to control the projection of the image to be printed and the printing of pixels by the print head. In one embodiment, the print head is controlled such that each pixel is printed at least twice. The present invention also includes a number of novel methods including: a method for printing an image with a handheld printer, a method for projecting an image to be printed, and a method for registering a location of a printer and portions of a printed image.

Wavelet transform filter

Fixing device for heat fusion fixing of toner images

5,3 wavelet filter having three high pair and low pair filter elements with two pairs of cascaded delays

A wavelet transform filter is disclosed having a pair of line buffers, three pairs of high and low pass filter pairs, two pairs of cascaded delays, and first and second delays, where the second pair of cascade delays is coupled to the first output and has fourth and fifth delay outputs, and a third high pass filter element having inputs coupled to the first output and the fourth and fifth delay output, where the third high pass filter element generates a fifth output of coefficients in the HH subband. A second delay coupled to the fifth output and has a sixth delay output. A third low pass filter element has inputs coupled to the fifth output, the sixth delay output and the fifth delay output and generates a sixth output corresponding to the coefficients in the HL subband.

Method and apparatus for sending additional sideband information in a codestream

A method and apparatus for sending additional sideband information in a codestream is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a JPEG 2000 codestream of compressed image data having sideband information hidden therein and decompressing the codestream based on the sideband information.
