US Classification:

340438000

Abstract:

An apparatus in accordance with the invention is provided for managing various components of a motorcoach (e.g motorhome, recreational, and commercial vehicle) through a rear-view display monitor. For example, such a system may include a rear-view camera that provides a video signal comprising captured images of subject matter to the rear of a motorcoach. The video signal may be transmitted and displayed on a monitor. A coach management module in accordance with the invention may be integrated with the camera and monitor to display, simultaneously, coach data or information in the form of text and symbols, with the video signal from the rear-view camera, on the monitor.

Abstract:

A print data processing pipeline for use in a color electrophotographic printer optimizes print quality and minimizes memory usage by separately processing lossy and lossless print data. Lossy print data may include print data for images and lossless print data may include print data for text, line art, and graphics. Partitioning print data into lossy and lossless elements allows application of the print data compression operations optimized for each type of print data. High compression ratios can be achieved on lossy print data by applying visually lossless compression operations designed for the lossy print data. In addition, high compression ratios can be achieved on the lossless print data by applying lossless compression operations designed for the lossless print data. A merge unit combines the lossy and lossless print data streams after decompression to reconstruct the original image using merge data. The merge data is generated in an image processing operation which accounts for the different transparency modes of the page description language print data so that the correct foreground and background placement of objects is maintained.
