Abstract
To provide a simulation of the formation of a sheet of paper and the appearance of print thereon, a computerized system is adapted to receive input parameters related to a type of headbox stock desired, the fabric upon which the paper is to be formed, the paper machine to be used, and the printing process desired. Data relating to the actual production of paper is configured to simulate a series of fibres being dropped onto the surface of the fabric to create a mat. After a sufficient amount of fibre has been simulated as being dropped onto the fabric creating a fibrous mat, the system will indicate a final sheet has been completed when it has the desired basis weight as initially inputted by the user. After a final sheet of paper is deemed finished a report pertaining to sheet characteristics is generated. The report provides the user with data relating to fibre retention, a display of the simulated sheet along with its density variations, surface characteristics, and structure. The system, adapted to accept data relating to the type of printing process, configures such data with that already inputted, so as to provide a simulation of ink printing on the simulated sheet. The user thus has a visual output representative of the quality that a final physical sheet of paper would possess after manufacture and printing thereon.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
