A halftone screen generator, a halftone screen and a method for making the halftone screen are described. The halftone screen has a screen angle and rulings that define the theoretical centers of gravity of the halftone dots. The actual centers of gravity of the halftone dots are displaced from the theoretical centers of gravity by the length and angle of random phase vectors. In one example, the positional displacement of the centers of gravity of the dots is dot size dependent in an inverse relationship. The shift in dot centers of gravity away from the theoretical centers of gravity defined by the halftone screen effectively breaks up screen "patterning" and avoids objectionable halftone "graininess".

Methods and compositions are disclosed for quickly creating durable surface marks and / or decorations on substrates including metal, glass, ceramic, porcelain, natural and engineered stone, as well as plastics, polymer composites and other organic materials with color, high resolution and high contrast using inkjet technology and laser, NIR diode or UV LED energy.

A reception-process manager of a call server writes, in a transfer-voice-data storage, voice data contained in a voice packet received from the transmitter terminal which has acquired the talk right. A transmission-process manager of the call server determines the next transmission interval of a voice packet for each receiver terminal on the basis of determination information received from the each receiver terminal. The transmission-process manager reads out the voice data in a size dependent on the determined transmission interval from the transfer-voice-data storage, generates voice packet containing the voice data for the each receiver terminal, and transmits the voice packet to the each receiver terminal. Thus, the voice-packet transmission interval can be changed for each receiver terminal without stopping voice-packet transmission.
