  • Publication number: 20070035625
    Abstract: Disclosed are various systems and methods for processing and displaying video in a vehicle. In one embodiment, a vehicle video system is provided that comprises a plurality of cameras mounted in a vehicle, each of the cameras generating a video image, and the cameras including a plurality of visible light cameras and a plurality of night vision cameras. The vehicle video system also includes a video processing unit, where each of the cameras and each of the monitors are electrically coupled to the video processing unit. The video processing unit being configured to select at least two subsets of the cameras from which output video images are obtained for display on monitors.

  • Publication number: 20060127224
    Abstract: Controlling air compressors based on a temperature of air compressed by the air compressor. A temperature of air compressed by the air compressor is sensed. The sensed compressed air temperature is compared with a predetermined threshold temperature. The air compressor is deactivated when the sensed temperature exceeds the threshold temperature. The threshold temperature may be selected to inhibit carbon formation caused by oil thermal breakdown.
