I thought I'd point out a few observations and tips for people in-game about how bazaar taxes work and how buyers and sellers can work together to maximise gil efficiency per transaction.
Clearly, there is a bazaar tax of 10% based on sale price. E.g. I sell ridiculous overpriced gear (Bronze Haubergeon for say 100k, seriously "underpriced" as I understand the Wutai economy) in my bazaar. Upon sale, I suffer tax of 10% or 10k, leaving me with 90k after tax.
Contrast this with a direct trade: I sell at 100k, I pocket the 10% or 10k tax savings.
Bottom line: feel free to negotiate a direct trade of anywhere between 90%-100% of the bazaar price (although your discount on purchase diminishes the closer you get to the bazaar price).
In fact, the vendor is likely to want to sell you the product slightly cheaper because a) their after-tax return is greater than if they did a bazaar sale, and b) they are interested in clearing a bazaar slot, and turnover for vendors is important when maximising profit.
On direct trade, your maximum discount is an 11% decrease in the cost of an item per direct trade (assuming you transact at a price equal to 90% of the bazaar price).
You could also try negotiating the price using raw materials relevant to that crafter's discipline to lower the gil price (you offload useless items from inventory).
Bottom line: you can increase your after-tax profit by accepting a lower direct trade price anywhere between 90%-100% of the bazaar price. You can also build goodwill with customers who know what you sell and understand that you are open to negotiations.
On direct trade, your maximum upside is an 11% increase in after-tax profitability per direct trade (assuming you transact at a price equal to 90% of your bazaar price).
Effectively, apart from the time to take an item down in the bazaar and execute the trade, the vendor is no worse off financially for trading directly with the customer.
Alternatively, if you are offered ingredients, having an understanding of their cost will help you work out if you can use the materials to generate surplus ingredients for future profitable syntheses.
Everybody is better off by trading directly. People rarely bite when it comes to trying to sell a product, so feel free to negotiate with them, because by doing so, you're actually increasing the benefits to both yourself and the counterparty.
Edits for clarity
Some posters have mentioned that retainer bazaar sales attract a 5% tax. Notwithstanding, you can't negotiate with an NPC or leave it messages, therefore you are stuck paying the vendor's price and hence a tax inefficiency arises. Therefore, my conclusion still stands that the most efficient means of sale is direct trade (unless the 5% also applies to actual characters standing in market wards, in which case they're probably AFK anyway).

MEASUREMENTS: Height:6'2 Weight: 175(Athletic Build) Pants:32 Neck: 16 Shoe: 12
A native of Chicago, IL, Brian E. Sibley is climbing many levels of success these days. His work ethic and hard work can be attributed to humble beginnings. A former Navy man, though his true calling and passion was that of a professional model and entertainer. He has been modeling for over 7 years with his first introduction made in 2008 in Detroit, Michigan.
Early commercial success in Detroit includes the following, to name a few:
1. Commercials for Silver Fox Fur Coat Store
2. Several shows across the U.S. for "Hump the Grinder" Hair Wars
3. Runway show model with noted fashion designer "Von Jour Reese"
4. Print ads in the Native Detroiter Magazine
After a year of living in Detroit, Brian returned to Chicago where he continued to seek and secure modeling and hosting opportunities. After returning to Chicago, Brian's success continued as he was named the "Host" for Lil Wayne's Talent Showcase. Throughout all this time, while balancing high school, basketball practice, and having a job as a phone banker for a political campaign in Chicago's 43rd District, he was not afraid to make sacrifices for what he believed in.
In 2008, Brian joined the US Navy in hopes of broadening his perspective on life all the while still keeping his eye on becoming a professional model. Stationed in San Diego, Brian was confident that he had enough experience under his belt and thus decided to move to Los Angeles to really "sink his teeth" into the industry.
His diligence and perseverance have resulted steady work in the modeling and entertainment industries. To date, he's booked Men's Fashion Week LA (The First-Ever Face of MFWLA). Additionally, Chrysler & Dodge Corp., and Kevin James are all "nods" to a successful career and future work.
He has a host of family and friends as well as people within the music, entertainment, and fashion industry that believe in him as a man on a mission. Brian E. Sibley is hardworking, disciplined and dedicated to being a great entertainer and role model. He looks forward to a future of success.

British Mushy Peas (Using Regular Spring Peas)
Be the first to review
READY IN: 20mins
Recipe by HeatherFeather
Mushy peas are the quintessential side veg to accompany fish & chips in the UK. The traditional recipes use marrowfat peas, but more modern versions take advantage of the ordinary English spring peas you can find in any freezer case. This version was bright, refreshing, and while it does taste different from the marrowfat version, it is still quite good. This is also great served with with lamb. Adapted from Tom Aikens version, as seen on Market Kitchen.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 kg frozen peas, rinsed (regular English peas or spring peas)
- 40 g unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
- pepper, to taste
- 10 g of fresh mint (a small handful of leaves)
Directions See How It's Made
- Heat some water in a saucepan to boiling, then add the peas and cook for about 5 minutes until tender.
- Drain, but save about 200 ml of the cooking water.
- Puree in a blender ( or use a stick blender) with butter, mint leaves, salt & pepper to taste, and some of the reserved cooking liquid (adding as much or as little as you feel you need - you want it kind of pasty and gloppy, like loose mashed potatoes).
- Leave a few chunks. Test for seasoning and adjust as needed.
- Reheat gently in saucepan if needed.

Manage risk and data exposure in a bring-your-own-device age
Outside the Firewall
If we are indeed moving to a post-PC world, then how exactly will data be accessed? A new commercial venture of a popular open source project shows one path to this future.
Earlier this year, the CEO of a popular tech company made a great deal of noise about "the post-PC" world. Naturally, it was in his best interests to make such hoopla, as he was promoting a new tablet device. "Post-PC" is an interesting concept: It invokes images of a world in which we are all connected to all the information we could ever want or need through the use of devices that will seemingly know what we need before we do.

If you are in charge of promotional ideas for your business or organization, then you want to come up with fresh ideas that grab the public's attention. This is especially true if you are promoting your brand at an event where there may be other competitors vying for the attention of your customers.
Giant Food Item
People love to see a spectacle when they are attending an event. One way to create a spectacle is to create "world's largest" or "giant" food item for the public to see. For example, you might work on a way to cook the world's largest hamburger. You can then have a hamburger wrapper made with your company logo and and name that surrounds the burger when it is complete. After the task is complete, people can enjoy eating pieces of the hamburger that you and your staff pass out. If you really want to create a spectacle, try to beat the "Guinness Book of World Records." Contact the Guinness organization for the official rules. You can then invite local media to get even more attention for your company or organization.
Celebrity Autographs
If there is a celebrity who has endorsed or uses your brand, you can hire that celebrity to sign autographs and take pictures with patrons at company events and meetings. Contact the appearance agent for the celebrity and ask what travel requirements and daily rates the celebrity requires for signing autographs and taking pictures. Also, discuss who will pay for the autograph materials such as photos, posters and books. After signing the contract with the celebrity, advertise that the celebrity will be attending the event. You can also create a special item with your company name and logo that the celebrity will sign at the event. For example, if your company produces calendars and you hire a baseball celebrity, you might produce a calendar of that celebrity both playing baseball and using your brand. The celebrity can then sign the item for people attending the event.
Thank You Gift
When people go to events such as concerts, fairs or sporting events, they expect to pay for items including food, beverages and apparel. One out of the box promotional idea is to actually give a sample of your product away or produce pieces of apparel such as a T-shirt or hat visitors of the event can wear. Not only will they get a free gift, but everyone walking around with your free gift will be serving as an advertiser for your company.
Lodging Advertising
If your company or organization is participating in an event with many other vendors, you want to reach out to them before they get to the event so that they know you are there. Since many events do deals with area hotels, inquire with those hotels if you can place promotional advertising items on the doors of the people you know are there for the convention or event. For example, instead of a "Do Not Disturb" sign, make a "Do Disturb" sign. On the back of the sign, give your location within the event, as well as a coupon for your product or service. This will entice the people attending to make sure to visit your location. An alternative is to place someone outside the hotel with fliers offering the same information so people receive it before they get in the car on the way to the event.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Explain exactly what he is doing? Is he chewing on your hair? Is he pulling out your hair? Do you mean that he is grabbing the hair on your head or is he grabbing loose hairs he finds on the floor? When is he doing this? How often does he do this?
If he is grabbing the hair on your head, how is this happening? Is it when you are sitting down or lying down? (there's no way a pug could do this if you were standing up). Do you mean he is actually pulling out your hair and eating it? Do you let him do this? What do you do to try to prevent it?
How old is your pug? How long has he done this behavior? Is he neutered? Does he have a tendency to chew on and eat other inedible objects?
What type, brand, of food do you feed him? How often does he eat per day? How much (how many cups) do you feed him per feeding? Does he eat his food when you feed him? Is he a good eater or a finicky eater?
Is your pug healthy? Does he have any medical conditions? When was his last veterinarian check up?
Thanks for answering these, they will help me to answer your question.

China drafts law to ban torture therapy for net addiction
A new draft law officially banning the practice of electric shock therapy, physical beatings, medications and other abusive methods to treat internet addiction in China was released on January 6 by the Chinese State Council, the country's cabinet.
Previously, the practices had been formally banned in 2009 by China's Ministry of Health but were not signed into law.
The decision to draft the law follows an incident last year that involved a teenage girl murdering her own mother after enduring abusive treatment at an internet addiction treatment centre, reported People's Daily Online.
Safeguarding teenagers
The 16-year-old girl had been sent to one such centre in east China's Shandong Province, founded by Yang Yongxin in 2006.
Yang's boot camp-like centre used an electroshock therapy developed by the founder that was reportedly used on thousands of internet-addicted teenagers sent by their parents for treatment.
According to the State Council Legislative Affairs Office, the new rules not only safeguard teenagers from torture techniques but also look to solve internet addiction and four other major net related problems.
Gaming service providers must install technological barriers to keep teenagers away from improper content, set limits to their daily maximum gaming time and ban gaming services from 12 am to 8 am.
Death of Deng Senshan
Rehabilitation centres for teenage net addicts first began to appear cross China in 2004, offering a variety of regular therapies such as counselling, medication and hypnosis.
However, the 2009 death of 15-year-old Deng Senshan in a military-style training camp in Nanning, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, shocked the country.
A police investigation revealed that four counsellors had forced Deng to run five kilometres by beating him and putting him in confinement. He died less than 24 hours after checking into the camp.
China has an estimated 710 million internet users of which 160 million, or 23 percent, are under 19-years-old. Some estimates believe that up to 10 percent of the country's web users under 20 could be addicted.

Is it necessary to get will signed before a witness or a registrar?
Is it necessary to get a Will signed before a testator and a witness or should it be signed in front of a registrar? Also, should the person who is getting the Will made, should be there with the witness? Another part to my question is that my mother has expired and had signed a Will.
Out of the 2 witnesses, 1 witness has gone to the court and has gone through all formalities but the defendant party in our case claims that the Will is not genuine.
What can we do in this case?
A bare perusal of Section 63(c) of Indian Succession Act would show that a Will is required to be attested by two or more witnesses and each of them must have seen the Testator sign or affixing his mark to the Will or should have seen some other person signing the Will in the presence and under the directions of the Testator or should have received a personal acknowledgement from the Testator with respect to his signature or mark or signature of the another person who signs the Will in the presence and under the direction of the Testator and it is also necessary that each witness should sign the Will in the presence of the Testator.
Hence, in view of above, the testator shall sign the Will in presence of two witness and it is also necessary that each witness should sign the Will in the presence of the Testator. Even other wise, the position will be the same before the registrar.
With respect to your second query, a Will is a very secret and confidential document, with the basic aim of providing a legal platform for distribution of a person's assets to various members of the family after his demise. The beneficiary can never get a Will made, the Will should always be made with free will. After the Will is executed, the beneficiary can know the content of the Will.
With respect to your the third query, you will have to mention the grounds on which the defendant party is claiming that the Will is not genuine.
Kindly contact us for any further details and action.
- Disclaimer: The above query and its response is NOT a legal opinion in any way whatsoever as this is based on the information shared by the person posting the query at LawRato.com and has been responded by one of the Wills / Trusts Lawyers at LawRato.com to address the specific facts and details.

The coordinated response by NBAA, GAMA and business jet manufacturers to critics who chose to make business aircraft a high-profile symbol of all that's wrong on Wall Street ranks as one of the biggest stories we covered in the last year–in part because of how successful the counter p.r. effort turned out to be.
The trouble all started with a report by ABC News correspondent Brian Ross the day after chief executives for Detroit's embattled automakers flew to Washington, D.C., to ask for federal bailout money. The segment lasted less than four minutes, but by the time it was over the reputations of "luxurious private jets" and the CEOs who continued "lavish" lifestyles even as their companies failed lay in tatters as politicians and other news outlets latched onto one of the bigger side stories to emerge from the financial meltdown.
After the hearings on Nov. 18, 2008, Ross peppered the CEOs with questions about the companies' airplanes. "Are you prepared to sacrifice your private jet, sir?" he asked of Ford's Alan Mulally, who ducked out of the room without responding. "You've got your big jet parked here," Ross said to GM CEO Rick Wagoner. "Could you not have flown commercial?" Wagoner muttered something about an earlier meeting before exiting.
The criticism didn't stop with the automakers as the corporate jet fleets of other distressed firms came under intense media and political scrutiny.
In March last year NBAA and GAMA resurrected the "No Plane, No Gain" advocacy program, launching a series of television and newspaper ads that made the case for business aviation in terms the public could understand. NBAA president Ed Bolen was a frequent guest on TV news programs, where he hammered home the message that business aircraft are good for business. Behind the scenes, Bolen and GAMA president Pete Bunce pressed the politicians to stop bashing the industry, pointing out that it generates $150 billion a year and supports more than a million U.S. jobs. Leaders for the trade groups and business jet makers even asked White House officials to tone down the rhetoric.
The result has been a slowly but steadily improving image of business jets as reporters who only a year ago might have followed the bizjet-bashing crowd today are writing editorials pointing out how companies can benefit from corporate aircraft. NBAA, GAMA and the manufacturers deserve a good deal of the credit for helping to sway public opinion by presenting their side of the story.

Those Lionel Messi to Manchester City rumours have started again
All the UK papers are going big on one story today, Lionel Messi to Manchester City.
It's a great idea, and the basis of it is very simple; if the world's best player ever leaves Barcelona it would be to work with Pep Guardiola again and the Spaniard is, of course, taking the helm at the Etihad this summer.
Add in the role of former Barca top men Txiki Begiristain, City's sporting director, and Ferran Soriano, the chief exec, and City would be best placed to lure Messi away from the Catalan giants.
However, all of today's stories come with the health warning that 28-year-old has no plans to leave Barcelona and is currently contracted until 2018.
By the time that deal is up he would be almost 30 and who knows if the Guardiola regime at Manchester City would even be still in place come then.
For now, it is best to file this under wait and see.
As for the rest of the gossip, Manchester United are reported to have held secret talks over the transfer of Borussia Dortmund hot-shot PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG, says the Daily Mirror.
Real Madrid will exercise their 30million euro buy-back clause on Juventus striker ALVARO MORATA this summer... before selling the Spain striker on to Arsenal for 50m euros, Spanish outlet AS reports.
The Gunners are tracking the Lorient left-back RAPHAEL GUERREIRO before a possible summer bid, as Arsene Wenger considers whether to listen to offers for KIERAN GIBBS, the Guardian reports.
And finally former Chelsea and Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole will leave Coventry for MLS side the Tampa Bay Rowdies this summer, according to ESPN.

I am 23 years old and lately I've developed this terrible fear of ending up alone and dying alone.It makes me so sad and I cry just about everyday.I have been in a relationship once which ended over a year ago,we were together about 2.5 years.I've have no male attention since then except one guy who I really liked and was getting on well with but now suddenly he has a girlfriend.I do go out with friends and I look after myself well.I'm not sure what else I can do.It seems that guys like my friends better
Most Helpful Guy
It certainly can be frustrating and discouraging to be single for such long periods of time (believe me, I know), though twenty-three is a bit young to worry about being alone for the rest of your life.
It might help if you write down qualities and traits about yourself that you know are desireable. Make a list of things you want in a guy, too. It will make it easier to identify those things when you do meet some one. Pay attention to how guys interact with you, too. Just because a guy isn't all over you doesn't mean he's not interested.11|00|0

Comment troubles (positioning and fonts)
Just as a way of introductions, i'm very much a beginner when it comes to PHP and wordpress for that matter. I've just opened up a site (a subdomain hosted by another person), and i'm having a bit of trouble getting the technical aspects right.
On the comments page of wordpress, when you open it up, the content and sidebar are pushed to the right, destroying the positioning of the page. Also, the font is small, and incredibly hard to read.
looking at comments.php, it's almost impossible (for me) to see the source of my dilemma. if you have any idea whatsoever as to how i can go about fixing this, i would greatly appreciate it!
my website: http://lenore.september-nights.org/
php files for wp: http://lenore.september-nights.org/wp-content/themes/default/
I looked around for a while for another board with the same problem, but i couldn't find one. I think most people would be able to solve the problem by themselves…. 😐

Note: In Update #100, the Body Bag Case became unlocked by default, and the skill's aced effects were moved to the aced version of Cleaner.
|Tier 4
|Basic (4 pt): You unlock the ability to place the body bag case deployable.
|Ace (8 pt): You can now place 2 body bag cases instead of just one.
Each body bag case is identical to the body bag asset and contains 3 charges. The aced version allows the player to place two such bags, for a total of 6 extra bags.
Since unlocking the Body Bag asset requires Cleaner from the Ghost tree, Undertaker provides access to more than the starting 1 body bag without having to invest in Ghost skills.
Crucially, Undertaker and the Body Bag case deployable allow a player to bag numerous bodies without having to return to the asset drop location, useful on heists where it can be difficult to return to the van to collect more bags.
The aced version of the skill is of relatively limited use however, as the maximum number of pager responses (4) is the same as the total number of body bags useable by a heister with a single body bag case.
The most appropriate heists for using the aced version of the skill are Nightclub and Shadow Raid. For the former, stealth runs of Nightclub, can be made much easier as the rear areas of the club can be controlled and the guards can be killed and bagged - they do not have pagers so there is no limit to the number that can be killed. For the latter, Shadow Raid guards do have pagers, however the wandering civilians, particularly the workers inside the warehouse, can simply be killed and bagged and moved out of line of sight of patrolling guards (especially with the loot zipline asset, which will carry a body bag too). If a player is expecting to kill civilians, it may be useful to invest in the Winston Wolfe skill too, from the previous tier of the Fugitive tree.
In newer stealthable heists with Pre-Planning such as Big Bank, Shadow Raid and Framing Frame, you can save favors for other assets by bringing a Body Bag case.
- In common usage, an Undertaker is (usually) someone in charge of cemetery and the burial (disposal) of dead bodies, which fits the function of the in-game skill quite well.

I was at the gym with my brother, and my crush saw me with my bro. My brother knows about my crush on the guy so I pointed him out at the gym (I tried to be subtle and not obvious about it) and when my bro looked over at him, my crush looked over at us. What was the guy probably thinking?
Most Helpful Guy
If he doesn't know that was your brother, then he probably thinks it is a boyfriend! Try talking to him if you want to get to know him.00|00|0
Ok,do you think that could be one of the reasons he won't approach me? (I see him look at me, and we make frequent eye contact) But I'll try to make casual non awkward conversation if an opportunity presents itself, thanks :)
- Show AllShow Less
No problem! Glad I can help. I really think that you should try talking to him (even just small talk or something). But try to subtly let him know you are single and attracted to him. He probably turned away from you when you were talking to the other guy because he figured you were taken - he was "throwing in the towel" so to speak.
But yeah, good luck, let us know how it goes! ;) If you want to talk further feel free to message me.
Haha yeah, it's been a few months that we've made eye contact (and still making it), and I'm still trying to think of something to say lol. But that makes a lot of sense. And I will and if I need more advice, I will message you.

Snowman Challenge – Word Game Free Download
Snowman Challenge is a fun educational HTML5 jQuery based word game, it's similar to Hangman, but with a more friendly theme. It's great fun for both kids and adults and can be played online and offline, which is great for the classroom.

How To Play
The aim of the game is to try and build Mr. Frosty. There are ten random hidden words to find over ten levels, each level relates to a part of the snowman. Words are loaded from a text file at random. You must use your mouse or keyboard to select a letter from the board, if you're correct it will fill in a blank space from the missing word, if you get it wrong your guesses will go down. If you reach zero then you will loose a life, loose all your lives and you will have to start again.
Customisable Settings
There are quite a few different settings you can choose to personalise the game. It's very easy to edit and setup, all you need is Windows 'Notepad' or 'Wordpad' and you can edit the settings just like you would any other text file. Same goes for Mac users, just pick your default text editor.

To make the game more tricky you can set the level you want to start reducing guesses incrementally by 1.
- Disable all sounds
Completely disable sounds, music and in game options in-case you don't want anyone to make noise, great for the classroom.
- Music
Start the game with the music on or off.
- Sound Effects
Start the game with the sound effects on or off.
- Snow Effect
Having snow on will use a bit more CPU, so it could slow down very old systems.
- Text File
Name of the text file you want to load. Change this to "morewords.txt" for a selection of non wintry words, or to create your own words use "custom.txt" (see below).
Creating You Own Words
You can create you own set of words to use in the game. Just open the supplied 'custom.txt' file and start typing coma separated words, it's that easy.
Can I get a custom version made?
I am available for freelance work. I would be happy to quote you for a custom version of the game.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to ink-jet printing and, more specifically, to print media edge detection using an optical sensing device.
2. Description of Related Art
The art of ink-jet technology is relatively well developed. Commercial products such as computer printers, graphics plotters, copiers, and facsimile machines employ ink-jet technology for producing hard copy. The basics of this technology are disclosed, for example, in various articles in the Hewlett-Packard Journal, Vol. 36, No. 5 (May 1985), Vol. 39, No. 4 (August 1988), Vol. 39, No. 5 (October 1988), Vol. 43, No. 4 (August 1992), Vol. 43, No. 6 (December 1992) and Vol. 45, No.1 (February 1994) editions. Ink-jet devices are also described by W. J. Lloyd and H. T. Taub in Output Hardcopy [sic] Devices, chapter 13 (Ed. R. C. Durbeck and S. Sherr, Academic Press, San Diego, 1988).
In essence, the ink-jet printing process involves dot-matrix manipulation of drops of ink ejected from a pen onto an adjacent print medium (for convenience of explanation, the word "paper" is used hereinafter as generic for all forms of print media). An ink-jet pen includes a printhead which consists of a number of columns of ink nozzles, with each typically having a diameter of only about {fraction (1/300)}th inch. A column of nozzles (typically less than or equal to one-inch in total height) selectively fires ink droplets (typically only a few picoliters in liquid volume) that are used to create a predetermined print matrix of dots on the adjacently positioned paper as the pen is scanned across the media. A given nozzle of the printhead is used to address a given matrix column print position on the paper, referred to as a picture element, or "pixel." Horizontal positions on the paper are addressed by repeatedly firing a given nozzle at matrix row print positions as the pen is scanned. Thus, a single sweep scan of the pen across the paper can print a swath of dots. The paper is stepped to permit a series of contiguous swaths. Dot matrix manipulation is used to form alphanumeric characters, graphical images, and even photographic reproductions from the ink drops.
Paper position during printing is of course a prime factor to the quality of the print. Two basic types of prior solutions to determining the side edge of the media are interrupters and edge guides. An "interrupter," whether optical or capacitive type, is mounted in a known, fixed position relative to the nominal paper movement. The interrupter switch binary output merely tells if the media edge is present within the field of view of the interrupter. Edge determination is made by sampling a paper advance axis encoder and the interrupter state. However, this gives no direct data with regard to the edge's real time position relative to the printing zone of the printer and its writing instrument or plurality of writing instruments. The second type, known as "edge guides" are positioned relative to the paper edge by the printer user. Print media edge detection relies on the known printer's paper width and length by using adjusters to mechanically position the paper sheet relative to the hard copy apparatus printing zone and writing instruments. Edge position is inferred from the adjustment. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,574,551 (Kazakoff) for a PRINT MEDIA SUPPLY APPARATUS WITH MEDIA PARAMETER DETECTION CAPABILITY (assigned to the common assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein by reference) provides for size detection in the paper supply bin.
The position of the paper transported to a printing station of the hard copy apparatus must be known or determined for the droplets of ink to be appropriately registered on the paper. The more detailed the print, e.g., a photographic or art reproduction, the more critical the drop placement in order to avoid noticeable artifacts.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,466,079 (Quintana) shows a APPARATUS FOR DETECTING MEDIA LEADING EDGE AND METHOD FOR SUBSTANTIALLY ELIMINATING PICK SKEW IN A MEDIA HANDLING SUBSYSTEM and its divisional U.S. Pat. No. 5,564,848 (Quintana) shows a METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING MEDIA SHEET EDGES WITH A COMMON, MOVABLE OPTICAL SENSOR (each assigned to the common assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein by reference). An electro-optic sensor detects when the top of a media sheet enters between a drive roller and a pinch roller and the media is manipulated to be squared up.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,252,991 (Storlie et al.) (assigned to the common assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein by reference) for a MEDIA EDGE SENSOR UTILIZING A LASER BEAM SCANNER, a scanning system moves the light beam across the media sheet and past its edges to cause the beam to fall on beam sensor when the media sheet is partially shadowing the beam sensors. A processor is responsive to outputs from the beam sensors to determine positional information regarding the media sheet. Positional information is derived by determining the time during which the scanned beam is incident on a sensor. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,446,559 (Birk) (assigned to the common assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein by reference), a handheld scanner is moved over the edge of the printed page to calibrate the position of the scanner with respect to the sheet of paper.
The state of the art devices leave some degree of uncertainty as to the real time position and skew of the paper once transported to the printing zone and while being stepped through the printing zone. This is particularly problematical in full-bleed ink-jet printing, i.e., printing to or very near the edges, such as might be desirable for photographic reproductions. Thus, there remains a need for making real time determinations of paper edge position when the paper sheet is in the hard copy apparatus printing station.
In its basic aspects, the present invention provides a method for detecting print medium edge position in a hard copy apparatus having a printing zone including a platen having a width greater than a predetermined maximum width for print media used with the hard copy apparatus. The method includes the steps of: transporting a sheet of the print media into the printing zone for printing on the sheet with a writing instrument; scanning across the printing zone with an optical sensing device having a known field of view; while scanning, recording a series of reflectance readings from the sheet and from the platen at a platen region adjacent at least one edge of the sheet; storing the reflectance readings as a first data set; calculating a second data set based on the first data set and the known field of view; calculating a best fit of the second data set to the first data set; and determining a reflectance transition point location in the printing zone of the best fit wherein the transition reflectance transition point is representative of the print media sheet edge position.
It is another basic aspect of the present invention to provide an ink-jet hard copy apparatus adapted for using a variety of print media, including: a printing station within the apparatus, the printing station fabricated of a material having a predetermined first reflectivity recognizably differing from reflectivity of blank print media, the printing station having a width greater than a predetermined width equal to a maximum usable print media width; a scanning carriage mounted within the apparatus for selectively scanning across the printing station width; an encoder system associated with the carriage for tracking position of the carriage; a plurality of printheads fixedly mounted to the carriage; an optical detector fixedly mounted to the carriage in a predetermined relationship to the printheads, the detector having a known field of view; and a control mechanism for selectively determining true edge position of at least one edge of a sheet of print medium positioned at the printing station by comparing a reflectivity data set obtained with the optical detector from the sheet and from the material by scanning the detector across the sheet a distance greater than a nominal width of the sheet to obtain positionally related reflectivity values from both the blank print media and the material to a calculated data set constructed from the reflectivity data and the predetermined field of view and for calculating the true sheet edge position therefrom.
In another basic aspect, the present invention provides a hard copy apparatus, including: holding mechanisms for holding a sheet of print media in selective orientations while printing is performed thereon; at least one writing mechanism for printing associated with the mechanisms for holding; mounting mechanisms for fixedly mounting the writing mechanisms thereon and for selectively positioning the writing mechanisms with respect to the holding mechanisms; tracking mechanisms for tracking predetermined positions of the mounting mechanisms while the mounting mechanism is selectively positioning the writing mechanisms; fixedly mounted on the mounting mechanisms, detecting mechanisms for determining reflectivity at the predetermined positions within the holding mechanisms, including across an edge of the sheet in a first direction of travel of the mounting mechanisms, the detecting mechanisms having known operating parameters; and controlling mechanisms for compiling a first data set from the detecting mechanisms, the first data set being representative of actual reflectivity values, including reflectivity values of the sheet and of the holding mechanisms; and calculating mechanisms for calculating a second data set representative of data compiled by the detecting mechanisms and of the known operating parameters of the detecting mechanisms and for comparing the second data set to the first data set such that a best fit of the second data set to the first data set provides a transition value representative of position of the edge of the sheet.
In another basic aspect, the present invention provides a method for ink-jet printing with, including the steps of: a) providing at least one ink-jet writing instrument fixedly mounted in a hard copy apparatus for scanning across a print media platen; b) providing at least one optical scanning device, having known operating characteristics, fixedly mounted in a known relationship to the writing instrument for scanning across the print media platen therewith; c) transporting a sheet of print media to a printing zone on the platen wherein the sheet has a predetermined nominal position on the platen; d) optically scanning across a region of the sheet near a first edge thereof with the optical scanning device while recording media reflectivity data therefrom with respect to known positions across the platen; e) optically scanning across the first edge of the sheet while recording reflectivity transition data between the sheet and the platen; f) optically scanning across a region of the platen while recording platen surface reflectivity data therefrom; g) calculating a true position of the edge of the sheet from the recording media reflectivity data, the reflectivity transition data, the platen surface reflectivity data, the known operating characteristics of the optical scanning device, and the optical scanning device known relationship to the writing instrument; and h) printing images with the writing instrument relative to the true position of the edge.
In another basic aspect, the present invention provides a computer memory device including: mechanisms for recording a series of reflectance readings from the sheet and from the platen adjacent at least one edge of the sheet; mechanisms for storing the reflectance readings as a first data set; mechanisms for calculating a second data set based on the first data set and the known field of view; mechanisms for calculating a best fit of the second data set to the first data set; and mechanisms for determining a reflectance transition point location in the printing zone of the best fit wherein the transition reflectance transition point is representative of the print medium edge position.

Reference is made now in detail to a specific embodiment of the present invention, which illustrates the best mode presently contemplated by the inventor for practicing the invention. Alternative embodiments are also briefly described as applicable. While the present invention is described in terms of an exemplary embodiment of a computer peripheral ink-jet printer, it will be recognized by those skilled in the art that the technology is applicable to other implementations. No limitation on the scope of the invention is intended by the inventors in using this exemplary embodiment nor should any such limitation be implied therefrom.
FIG. 1 depicts an ink-jet hard copy apparatus, in this exemplary embodiment, a computer peripheral, color printer, 101. A housing 103 encloses the electrical and mechanical operating mechanisms of the printer 101. Operation is administrated by an internal electronic controller 102 (usually a microprocessor or application specific integrated circuit ("ASIC") controlled printed circuit board) connected by appropriate cabling (not shown) to the computer. It is well known to program and execute imaging, printing, print media handling, control functions, and logic with firmware or software instructions for conventional or general purpose microprocessors or ASIC's. Cut-sheet print media 105 (again, referred to generically hereinafter simply as "paper," regardless of actual medium selected by the end-user) is loaded by the end-user onto an input tray 120. Sheets of paper are then sequentially fed by a suitable, internal, paper-path transport mechanism to a printing station pivot, "printing zone," 107—also referred to in the art as a "platen"—where graphical images or alphanumeric text are created using state of the art color imaging and text rendering techniques. A carriage 109, mounted on a slider 111, scans the paper sheet delivered to the printing zone 107. An encoder strip 113 and appurtenant position encoding devices on the carriage 109 and as part of the controller 102 firmware are provided for keeping track of the position of the carriage 109 at any given time during a scan across the paper. A SINGLE CHANNEL ENCODER SYSTEM and a SINGLE CHANNEL ENCODER WITH SPECIFIC SCALE SUPPORT STRUCTURE are described by Majette et al. in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,789,874 and 4,786,803, respectively (assigned to the common assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein by reference). A set of individual ink-jet writing instruments, "pens," 115K, 115C, 115M, 115Y, 115F, each having ink-jet printheads as would be known in the art (not seen in this perspective), are releasably mounted in fixed positions on the carriage 109 for easy access and repair or replacement. Each printhead mechanisms is adapted for "jetting" minute droplets of ink or other fluids to form dots on adjacently positioned paper in the printing zone 107. Refillable or replaceable ink cartridges 117K, 117C, 117M, 117Y are provided; generally, in a full color ink-jet system, inks for the subtractive primary colors, Cyan, Yellow, Magenta (CYM) and a true black (K) ink are used; note however that additive primary colors—red, blue, green—or other colorants can be used). In this set, a pen 115F and cartridge 117F for a clear fluid, ink fixer "F," is also provided. The pens 115 are coupled to their respective cartridges by flexible ink feed tubing 119. Once a printed page is completed, the sheet of paper is ejected onto an output tray 121. It is common in the art to refer to the pen scanning direction as the x-axis, the paper feed direction as the y-axis, and the ink drop firing direction as the z-axis.
FIG. 2 is a schematic depiction of an optical sensor unit used in accordance with the present invention. Ink-jet nozzles of the printheads are generally in-line with the sensor module 201 in the x-axis by fixedly mounting the module 201 appropriately on the carriage 109 (FIG. 1). The sensor module 201 optically detects reflectivity values and provides electrical signals to the controller 102 and a controller based media alignment algorithm, described in detail hereinafter. An optical component holder 203 contains a lens 205. One or more light-emitting diodes ("LEDs") 207 are mounted at an angle to the plane of the printing zone 107 (FIG. 1). The LEDs 207 project light (which can also be focused via a lens—not shown) onto the media or a printed a test pattern "TP" printed with the printheads on the paper 209 (see e.g., Cobbs et al., supra)., and the light is then reflected to a photodetector 211. Known manner optical sensing and analog-to-digital ("A/D") signal process techniques are applied. For further details regarding a specific, multifunction, optical sensor module useful in accordance with the present invention, reference can be made to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/183,086 (filed Oct. 28, 1998 by WALKER et al. or U.S. Pat. No. 5,170,047 (Beauchamp et al.) for an OPTICAL SENSOR FOR PLOTTER PEN VERIFICATION (both assigned to the common assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein by reference).
FIG. 3A is a graph 300 showing Edge Detection data, with Position plotted against Reflectance, and a calculated plot as described hereinafter. FIG. 4 is a flow chart of the edge detection process algorithm. Referring also to FIGS. 1 and 2 regarding hardware elements of the system, a sheet of paper 105 from the input tray 120 is transported to the printing zone 107 where it would have a nominal position based on prior art technology. The optical sensor 201 is adjusted to bring the signal off a blank sheet of paper up to the near-saturation level of the photodetector's 211 A/D converter, e.g., five volts. Then the carriage 109 scans across the paper, off the edge of the paper and over the pivot 107, step 401; the raw data set acquired is represented by a plot in FIG. 3A, Data Curve 301.
Data acquisition consists of recording the reflectance at every encoder 113 transition across the scan width of the carriage 109. The high values represent reflectance from blank paper. The low values represent reflectance from the pivot 107 itself, where the pivot is manufactured preferably of a black plastic, or other suitable material having low reflectivity compared to blank paper. The data set thus consists of position and corresponding reflectance data (reflectance and position in A/D counts). The sampling rate is spatial, typically occurring at six-hundred samples per inch, or as otherwise determined by the encoder 113 resolution. Note that scanning for data can be reversed, from pivot onto paper. Multiple scans across the edge before averaging can be used to fine tune noise out of the data, such as random ambient light fluctuations. Typically, one to three scans are made across the edge of the sheet. In FIGS. 3A and 3B it can be seen that four hundred data points are gathered across the edge.
Once scans are completed, the controller 102 CPU is notified that the data collection is complete so that it can perform the edge detection algorithm steps. An average is calculated for paper reflectance and pivot reflectance, steps 402, 403. A sample of five to fifty values is used.
Knowing the field of view 304 of the specific sensor 201 employed, also known as the "run"—e.g., {fraction (24/600)}th inch for the device employed to render plot 301 data of FIGS. 3A and 3B (a suitable, commercially available model is the HBCS 1100 manufactured by Hewlett-Packard Optoelectronics which has a run of {fraction (5/600)}ths-inch)—the calculated average high and low reflectance data are used, step 404, to form a Shape Curve 302 data base in accordance with Equation 1:
To find the nominal edge position to true edge position "error," step 405, the shaped plot 30 is moved through the data recursively to solve for the best fit, converging on the lowest sum of the square difference in accordance with Equation 2:
where n=number of averaged data points.
This is graphically represented by plot 300′ of FIG. 3B, with shifted Shape Curve 302′. Note that summing the errors by simple linear summing can be employed, but it is known that taking the sum of the squares will give more weight to large errors and thus provide a more accurate edge detection result.
Next, step 406, the location of the best fit, shaped curve, high-to-low point transition is selected as the paper edge, circled 303 in FIG. 3B.
Next, the pen, or pens, 115 known, or calculated, carriage mounting offset from the sensor 201 in the x-axis is used to adjust the calculation of the paper edge with respect to each pen, step 407, adding or subtracting the offset appropriately for left-edge or right-edge determinations relative to each printhead nozzle column relative position.
This optically determined paper edge position relative to each pen is sent to the controller's print algorithm. For example, the firmware sets a non-volatile memory with the value of the calculated location of the edge to be used at a later time.
Alternatively, the shape curve comparison can also be limited to the sloped portion which in comparison to the actual data sloped portion and the edge position determined from that smaller data base. However, this may result in a lower accuracy factor.
It should be noted that a true edge position determination can be made for each swath to be printed. For example, when printing on eleven-inch, letter size, paper, for a one-inch high nozzle array, the carriage based edge detector algorithm can quickly calculate the true edge position before printing each of the eleven swaths.
A variety of determinations can be made with the present invention. Determining the position of the print side right edge can be used to provide an indication of whether the paper is standard letter or metric A-4 size. Optically measuring both side edges of the current sheet of paper in accordance with the process steps also allows determination of the media width. Measuring at least one edge at differing points during paper advance produces a measurement for calculating media skew, namely from the change in edge position compared to a previous edge position. Note that the process can be used to determine the leading and trailing edge position to increase the accuracy of a printer's out of paper sensor. As will be recognized by a person skilled in the art, the field-of-view in the y-axis may be different from the x-axis field-of-view operation as discussed above and must be taken into account in making positional determinations. The same sensor measurement and algorithm can be run to measure any offset due to mechanical tolerances between the carriage home position and the left edge of the paper.
Thus, the present invention provides a means for making an accurate determination of the real time position of a current sheet of paper in the hard copy apparatus printing zone.
