Brian E. Hoffmann - Boise ID, US
Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:

H04N 1/00
H04N 1/333
H04N 1/40
G06F 3/12
G06F 15/163
G06F 15/82
G06K 1/00
US Classification:

358 115, 358400, 358 11, 358 113
Abstract:

Systems, apparatus, and methods for enhancing management of raster image processing (RIP) resources are described. In one aspect, a printing environment includes a RIP engine and multiple RIP pipelines. The RIP engine is scheduled to perform RIP for a first time period for a first pipeline of the multiple RIP pipelines. Responsive to occurrence of a start time of the first time period, the RIP engine is automatically transferred to the first pipeline for RIP.

US Patent:

20040114170, Jun 17, 2004
Filed:

Dec 17, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/322021
Inventors:

Robert Christiansen - Boise ID, US
Paul Wissenbach - Boise ID, US
Rodert Stevahn - Boise ID, US
International Classification:

G06F015/00
US Classification:

358/001130, 358/001150
Abstract:

Various systems and methods for raster image processing employing partitioning of print jobs are described herein. In one representative embodiment, a method is provided that comprises the steps of determining a page count for a print job expressed in a page description language and specifying a number of partitions of the print job. The method also includes the steps of assigning each of the partitions of the print job to one of a number of raster image processing (RIP) engines for raster image processing, and, re-aggregating a number of raster image processed partitions from the RIP engines into a raster image processed output file. Each of the raster image processed partitions is generated by raster image processing a corresponding one of the partitions with a respective one of the RIP engines.

US Patent:

20040179218, Sep 16, 2004
Filed:

Mar 10, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/385383
Inventors:

Paul Wissenbach - Boise ID, US
International Classification:

G06F015/00
US Classification:

358/001130, 358/001150
Abstract:

Systems and methods for enhanced print job delivery in a distributed raster image processing (RIPing) environment are described. The distributed RIPing environment includes, for example, a raster image process (RIP) manager coupled to multiple RIP engines. In one aspect, the RIP manager receives a print job. The RIP manager then multicasts a single copy of the print job across the distributed raster image processing environment to a select group of the multiple RIP engines. The multicasting operation provides each of the select group with access to a respective copy of the print job for RIPing one or more respective portions of the print job.

US Patent:

20060031585, Feb 9, 2006
Filed:

May 20, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/850063
Inventors:

Mary Nielsen - Eagle ID, US
Robert Christiansen - Boise ID, US
Robert Stevahn - Boise ID, US
Paul Wissenbach - Boise ID, US
International Classification:

G06F 15/16
US Classification:

709246000
Abstract:

Configuration options for a segmented print job are translated into first and second formats for first and second printing systems. A first portion of the segmented print job and the first format for the configuration options may be forwarded to the first printing system. A second portion of the segmented print job and the second format for the configuration options may be forwarded to the second printing system.

Method For Controlling Printing Of A Print Job

US Patent:

20130100483, Apr 25, 2013
Filed:

Oct 20, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/278147
Inventors:

Shaun Henry - Middleton ID, US
Fabio Giannetti - Los Gatos CA, US
Paul Wissenbach - Boise ID, US
International Classification:

G06K 15/02
US Classification:

358 115
Abstract:

A method for controlling printing of a print job involves portioning the print job into a plurality of parts via a partition manager, and converting each part of the print job into respective binary image data parts via a Raster Image Processor (RIP) manager. The method further involves controlling a rate of aggregation of the converted parts via a throttle control manager. The rate of aggregation is controlled by monitoring parameters of a printing system used to perform the printing of the print job, determining that at least one of the monitored parameters reaches or exceeds a predefined threshold, and manipulating the rate of aggregation of the converted parts in response to the determining according to a throttle mode predefined for a particular set of monitored parameters.

Filed:

Jan 31, 2012
Appl. No.:

13/362516
Inventors:

Donald Abel - Sherwood OR, US
Tasha Tasavida Zahnd - Vancouver WA, US
Paul Wissenbach - Boise ID, US
International Classification:

G06K 15/02
US Classification:

358 115
Abstract:

In one embodiment, data indicative of a measurement of resource utilization at a computer during a rasterization event is received. The data is compared to a database associating resource utilizations with commands to increment or decrement raster application instances executing in the event. Responsive to determining the data is associated with a command to increment or decrement an instance in the event, a first instance is incremented or decremented according to the command.
