In securities valuation, in setting the initial offering price of a financial instrument, or in later revaluation as financial parameters such as interest rates may change, an estimate of the value of the instrument may be represented as a multi-dimensional integral. For evaluation of the integral, numerical integration is preferred with the integrand being sampled at deterministic points having l...

A printer stores head information about a printhead in an EEPROM, and outputs the head information from an I/F. A host computer receives the head information, and sets the processing parameters of an image processor for printing data to be output to the printer on the basis of the input head information.

Suppressed is deterioration in image quality caused by deviation in dot forming positions between rasters in the case of carrying out printing of adjoining two rasters. The rasters are printed by two columns of ejection openings array disposed on an ink-jet head. The two columns of ejection openings are shifted from each other by a half of a pitch at which the ejection openings are arranged in the...
