Abstract:
A method of scheduling one or more virtual machines in a cloud computing infrastructure may include identifying, by a computing device, lag time data that has been collected over a period of time and that corresponds to one or more virtual machines in a cloud computing infrastructure, computing, by the computing device, a cumulative description of the identified lag time data, identifying a target performance level, determining, by the computing device, an estimated lag time that corresponds to the target performance level, and determining, by the computing device, whether to start a new virtual machine based, at least in part, on the estimated lag time.
Abstract:
A scanner includes a platen having a surface supporting items for scanning, and a projector adjacent (e.g., above or below) the platen. The projector projects light displaying patterned alignment marks on the items located on the platen. The patterned alignment marks identify an alignment position for the items to be located on the platen for properly aligned scanning. The projector projects different patterned alignment marks based on different characteristics of different items to be scanned.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides a method and system for navigating hard copies of web pages. According to one exemplary method, a hard copy of a web page is navigated by capturing with a mobile device an image of the hard copy, performing OCR on the captured image to identify the captured web page, accessing a database to retrieve a copy of the identified web page and displaying the retrieved copy of the identified web page along with active web page links on the mobile device.

Abstract:
Systems and methods are described that facilitate parallel processing of PDF documents for printing, wherein the PDF documents comprise transparency effects. Transparent objects in the PDF document are identified, and the document is divided into subgroups of pages. The transparency objects are then flattened to enable conversion to PostScript format. The PostScript pages are processed and rendered to raster for printing.

Abstract:
To troubleshoot an error, a printer uses a job ticket and printer-independent document data to perform a job, such as printing a document. The job ticket includes instructions for hardware component settings of the printer. In response to a capture bug command, the printer will capture, from a group of hardware configuration sensors, real-time values of the settings for the print device hardware components while the print device implements performs the job. The printer will save the captured real-time values of the settings, the job ticket, and the printer-independent document data to a merged file, and it will transmit the merged file to a maintenance service.
