Mike’s Digital Laboratory

I just received notice that  United States Patent: 7202977 has been issued.  This is a first for me, a patent that has my name on it that is. I co-wrote this patent With Dave Robinson over 8 years ago.  (These things take time)  The funny thing about it is I only learned of this last Friday by reciveing an invitation to the patent awards cereomony at Xerox. The nice person who took my RSVP for Chicken Marsala and Vegetable Gateau was also was also kind enough to give me the patent number.  (This made searching for it easier)  It seems the patent was issued in April. The patent describes “Methods for positioning a print integrity image capture device”. If you are interested in production print shop environments you might find it interesting.  Also a lot of the credit should go to Dave.  Dave has a number of inventions under his belt and knowing the process of submitting an invention proposal at Xerox, he did most of the write up.
