  • Patent number: 5539865
    Abstract: A two-dimensional page representation to be printed has a combination of text, graphic and image representation types. A data memory stores data representative of the page representation. A program memory stores program instructions including a plurality of different algorithms for compressing data associated with corresponding different representation types and their combinations.

  • Patent number: 5515110
    Abstract: A computer-based video editing system provides software controlled wipes between scenes. These wipes may be the conventional horizontal, vertical, or clock type wipes used in video to transition from one scene to the next. Instead of being generated by conventional digital wave form generators, the wipes are generated as a bit map in computer memory, thus allowing the editor to design his own wipes as desired. The wipes are generated by comparators which have as their inputs line-by-line video data and computer controlled threshold data so as to control a video switcher to select between scenes as determined by the wipe pattern.

  • Patent number: 4837613
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for selecting the intensity level of each of the primary colors for displaying or printing a predetermined, desired color to be composed of a specified percent of each of the primary colors. Each primary color has available a predetermined number of discrete intensity levels ranging from minimum to maximum and is to be displayed on a matrix having a predetermined number of cells. The first step in the method is to determine a desired intensity level for each primary color and to select the number of cells of the matrix which are to display that color at that intensity level. These cells of each primary color are then arranged in the matrix in a predetermined ordering to display the desired color. The sequence of the ordering is predetermined and the same for each primary color.
