Kodak gets the green light to sell digital imaging patents

Kodak gets the green light to sell digital imaging patents

It's been a long road for Kodak to get to this point, but it seems the floundering company has finally won approval to sell off its digital imaging patents. Over the objections of Apple and Flashpoint (nothing like kicking a company when its down), the Bankruptcy Court awarded Kodak the right to auction off its Digital Capture and Kodak Imaging Systems and Services (KISS) patent portfolios. While the challenges haven't been completely dismissed, the ruling provides an opportunity for the struggling Rochester firm to move ahead with its auction plans in the face of what it calls "baseless claims." Soon enough the bids for the rather sizable and valuable portfolios will start rolling in, and should provide Kodak with enough cash to keep its head above water for a little bit longer. For more detail, check out the PR after the break.

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color Printer M551dn

The HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color Printer M551dn ($899 direct) printed out our business applications suite at a near-record clip for a color laser, and its output quality is above average, making it suitable for any standard business need, including printing out basic marketing materials. This well-rounded printer (which also has a fairly low cost per printed page) is an easy pick as an Editors' Choice workhorse color printer for a smallish business with medium to heavy-duty printing needs.

The M551dn measures 15.8 by 20.2 by 19.8 inches (HWD), larger than you?d want to share a desk with, and weighs 76 pounds, so it is best to use two people to move it. Controls on the front panel next to the small, color LCD are minimal: Buttons for Home, OK, Cancel, and Help. The display?s color is used primarily to show ink cartridge levels.

Standard paper capacity is 600 sheets, split between a 500-sheet main tray and a 100-sheet multipurpose feeder. The printer comes with an automatic duplexer for printing on both sides of a sheet of paper. (A version without the duplexer, the M551n, is available from HP for $699.) An optional 500-sheet paper tray ($319 direct) is available, for a maximum paper capacity of 1,100 sheets. The M551xh ($1,399 direct) adds the second 500-sheet tray as standard, plus an encrypted 250-GB hard drive.

The M551DN offers USB and Ethernet connectivity. I tested it over an Ethernet connection using a computer running Windows Vista.

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color Printer M551dn

Print Speed

I timed the M551DN on our business applications suite (using QualityLogic's hardware and software for timing), at an effective 9.0 pages per minute (ppm). That's a bit short of our record (9.5 ppm) for a color laser, and a very good speed considering its 33 page-per-minute rated speed for both color and black-and-white printing that?s based on printing text documents without graphics or photos?our test suite includes text pages, graphics pages, and pages with mixed content.

The Editors' Choice Xerox Phaser 6280DN ($649 direct, 4 stars), with a rated speed of 31 pages per minute for monochrome and 26 for color, took more than twice as long to finish the same tests, at an effective 4.5 ppm, while we timed the OKI C610DN ($789 list, 4 stars), rated at 34 pages per minute for monochrome and 32 for color printing, at an effective 6.7 ppm.

Output Quality

The M551DN?s overall output quality is above average, thanks to very good graphics and photo quality. Text quality is typical for a laser, which is to say good enough for any business use short of demanding desktop publishing applications that use very small fonts.

With graphics, colors were bright and looked reasonably true. Some black backgrounds weren?t quite as dark as I would have liked, and some very thin colored lines against black backgrounds could have been sharper, but there were no other issues worth mentioning. The graphics are fine for printing out PowerPoint presentations, and I?d feel comfortable handing the output out to clients or colleagues I was seeking to impress.

Photo quality was slightly above par. Colors looked slightly off in a couple of prints, but most approached true photo quality. Taken together, the text, graphics, and photos should be suitable for simple marketing materials like handouts or trifold brochures, or for real estate handouts showing photos of properties.

Running Costs

The M551DN has reasonably low running costs of 1.8 cents per monochrome page and 13 cents per color page. These trump the 2.8 cents per monochrome page and 13.9 cents of the Xerox 6280DN, while lagging the OKI C610's per-page costs of 1.5 and 10.9 cents per monochrome and color pages, respectively.

The HP M551DN offers a winning combination of fast speed, above-par output quality, and a reasonably low cost per page. It brings enough to the table to make it an Editors' Choice as a workhorse color printer for smaller offices with medium to heavy-duty printing demands. The OKI C610DN has lower running costs and better paper handling options, but is slower and lags on output quality.

At the end of 2011, the Editors' Choice Xerox Phaser 6280DN was officially discontinued, but remaining stock is still being sold by Xerox and various etailers at a considerable discount. Its output quality, particularly for text, is slightly better than the M551DN. Its running costs, however, are higher than the HP's, both standard and optional paper capacity is lower, and it took twice as long as the M551DN to print out our business applications suite. If output quality is paramount, the 6280DN may be a better choice, but the HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color Printer M551DN offers a much better balance between quality, speed, and running costs.?

Did Scientists Finally Discover the Higgs Boson? (a.k.a. The God Particle) [Physics]

We've heard this clamoring before, but after years of experimenting and hypothesizing, the UK Telegraph says that CERN—keepers of the Large Hadron Collider—will hold a press conference on July 4 to confirm the existence of the Higgs boson particle, commonly referred to as the God Particle. It could be the biggest announcement/discovery in the history of physics. More »

    Apple pays $60 million in iPad trademark dispute, makes peace with Proview

    Apple pays $60 million in iPad trademark dispute, makes peace with Proview

    Earlier this year, iPads were flying off the shelves in China -- but not for the expected reasons. The slates were being removed from stores following an injunction granted to Shenzhen Proview Technology, a local firm that had laid claim to the iPad trademark. The injunction would later be rebuffed by a Shanghai court, resuming tablet sales while the dispute raged on. Today, Apple and Proview have come to a resolution, putting $60 million in Proview's coffers and the matter to rest.

    Feeling lost? Let us catch you up. Way back at the turn of the century, Proview's Taiwan branch registered the "iPad" trademark for its Internet Personal Access Device -- an all-in-one PC that wasn't unlike Apple's own iMac. Later on, Apple would purchase the worldwide rights to the name from the Taiwan branch, which presumably included Shenzhen Proview Technology's claim -- though the Chinese vice minister for the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC) would later declare Proview the trademark's rightful owner. Fast forward to today, and the two firms are finally settling.

    According to The New York Times, Proview had originally sought as much as $400 million, but has agreed to settle for a lesser amount to help it pay its debts. Either way, Apple seems to have already transferred the sum, according to the Guangdong High People's Court, apparently eager to put the dispute behind them.

    An Examination of Why You Need to Take Out Those Paint Peelings

    Long before the actual roof structure begins to deteriorate, problems in exterior painting set in. It can be quite annoying to see segments of your roof's paint peel like onion skin. It's understandable, knowing just how much money and time you have actually poured into roof painting. If you're staying in Marietta, Georgia, peeling problems are worse due to high humidity levels and heavy rainfall. Such a temperature can only make roof covering paint prone to peeling.

    However, the solution is not as easy as applying paint. In mending paint problems, it is very important to prepare the damaged parts first before any sort of corrective action can be performed. The initial step is to remove the peeling parts before an added layer of paint can be made. By properly preparing your roof covering, a new coat of paint will definitely adhere much better, and risks of peeling paint are considerably decreased.

    Eliminate loose and flaking paint. You need to scrape off flaking and loose paint in your roof. An experienced specialist will tell you that the new paint should bond with the surface; otherwise, the new paint will definitely peel too. You can utilize a wire brush or putty knife to get rid of the spots where the old paint is peeling; after doing so, just refine the edges with a sand paper.

    Wash off impurities. All sorts of impurities come into contact with the external part of your home. Aside from natural weathering, other impurities include mildew, oxidation, smoke, and dirt. You need to get rid of these impurities first because their presence will definitely hamper your new coat from bonding to the roof surface.

    As clarified by a painting specialist, if the impurities are not eliminated before the brand-new paint is put on the roof coverings or gutters Atlanta homes have, the brand-new layer will eventually peel and crack. To efficiently eliminate flaking areas, a pressure washer will suffice. However, a nylon brush and garden hose will definitely also work. Just apply pressure on the tip of the garden hose to mimic the pressure created.

    Clean gutters. Aside from roof coverings, gutters are also adversely influenced by continual exposure to outdoor elements and humidity. In time, oxidation can dent sections of the gutter, causing out of shape or depressed sections. In removing flaking paint in gutters Marietta GA houses have, tools and techniques used in taking out paint peelings in your roof sheets become greatly helpful.

    Your roof covering is one of the most valuable parts of your residence, and as such, paint problems need to be remedied before they can balloon into greater problems. So if you need assistance in getting rid of those flaky paint portions, then think about the expert services of Marietta roofing contractor. You can find out more about this topic on ehow.com.
