Abstract

An object of the present invention is to determine the cause of an image defect that occurs in an image forming device with high accuracy while suppressing the amount of calculation at a processor. A processor (80) determines the cause of an image defect on the basis of a test image read from an output sheet of an image forming device (2). The processor (80) generates a plurality of feature images by executing a feature extraction process on the test image. Further, the processor (80) uses each of the plurality of feature images as an input image and determines which of a plurality of cause candidates corresponding to the image defect the input image corresponds to by pattern recognition of the input image.

Abstract

This three-dimensional display device comprises: a display panel having a display surface including sub-pixels; a parallax barrier having a light-transmitting area and a light-blocking area; a position acquisition unit that acquires the positions of the user's eyes; and a controller that synthesizes a mixed image displayed on the display surface. The controller successively allocates a first image or a second image having a parallax with respect to the first image to n sub-pixels arranged in accordance with the parallax barrier. The parallax barrier has an aperture ratio of 0.5+m/2n, where m is an integer greater than or equal to 0 and less than n. The controller causes sub-pixels observed across one end of the light-transmitting area and sub-pixels observed across the other end of the light-transmitting area to display a low-luminance image. The number of sub-pixels displaying the low-luminance image is the same on the one end side and the other end side of the light-transmitting area.

Abstract

An estimation system provides consumable use estimations, such as for ink or toner, in printing operations. The estimation system uses a classification-based consumable use process to estimate the consumable use. A print job is assigned a classification category according to an arbitrary job category selected for the print job and a job property defined for the print job using job settings. An estimate is provided using the classification category and the distribution of the consumable use for print jobs in the category. The estimate is adjusted by a consumable use adjustment factor that reflects the amount of ink or toner disposed of during container replacement or wasted during printing operations. Estimation system also uses a size-agnostic consumable use estimation process based on the average consumable use for a specified imageable unit area.

Abstract

The methods and systems discussed herein describe a first wireless communication device receiving reservation signals from two other wireless communication devices, each reservation signal identifying one or more time-slots reserved for data transmissions and a data priority level associated with the data transmissions. When the first wireless communication device determines that the reservation signals have at least one common identified time-slot, the first wireless communication device transmits a forwarded reservation signal, which identifies the time-slots reserved by the wireless communication device with the higher data priority level, to the wireless communication device with a lower data priority level. The wireless communication device that receives the forwarded reservation signal determines whether to transmit data during the time-slots identified in the forwarded reservation signal.

Abstract

A neighboring cell determines that uplink interference from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) exceeds a first threshold at the neighboring cell. The neighboring cell transmits an uplink interference indicator to the UAV. In some examples, the UAV informs its serving cell of the uplink interference experienced by the neighboring cell. The serving cell can utilize information received from the UAV to make handover decisions or scheduling decisions for the UAV that caused the uplink interference. In other examples, the UAV can temporarily refrain from transmitting on at least some of its uplink resources or utilize different uplink resources for uplink data transmissions. In still other examples, the UAV can utilize downlink measurements to select which neighboring base station System Information Block messages should be monitored for an uplink interference indicator.

Abstract

A base station transmits a rate recommendation to a first user equipment (UE) device. The rate recommendation is to be used for a Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) call between the first UE device and a second UE device. In some instances, the first UE device and the second UE device negotiate the rate to be used for the VoLTE call, based on the rate recommended by the base station. If the negotiated rate is supported by the base station and/or matches a supported codec rate, the UE devices implement the rate and provide rate feedback to the base station.
