  • Patent number: 5600761
    Abstract: A system for performing edge enhancement of mixed low resolution image files employs a binarization and sorting unit to sort data that is indicative of binary data from the mixed low resolution image input file. The sorted binary data is then supplied to a binary data edge enhancement processor for edge enhancement processing. The output from the binary data edge enhancement processor unit is supplied to a data merger unit along with the original image data. The data merger unit determines whether the original image data was part of a gray-scale image. If the data merger determines the original data is part of a gray-scale image, the original data is supplied as the output of the processing system. If the data merger determines that the original data is binary image data, the output from the binary edge enhancement processor unit is supplied as the output of the processing system.

  • Patent number: 5019796
    Abstract: An improved bar magnet and method of construction, and an improved magnetic core comprising an assembly of such magnets, for use in a processing station of an electrostatographic printing machine. The improved bar magnet is formed of permanent magnet material having magnetic domains therein that are magnetized along epicycloidal curve segments. The external magnetic flux density is improved over that of a conventionally-magnetized magnet. An injection mold for inducing the particular epicycloidal alignment of magnetic domains in the improved bar magnet is provided.

  • Patent number: 4974171
    Abstract: A data storage system for an electronic color printer which stores data according to the type of information the data represents. When the data represents area fill and image information, the data is stored in the page buffer according to mode A of the invention wherein a plurality of pixels are all defined to have the same color with varying luminance levels. This color is defined in the memory in a uniform color space format. When the data to be stored is representing text or line graphics information, the data is stored in the page buffer according to mode B of the invention. In mode B, two-bit binary values in the page buffer are assigned to each pixel of a multiple-pixel cell. These two-bit values point to additional bytes in the memory block of the page buffer which in turn point to discrete colors in spectrums of 256 colors. Additional data indicates whether the output device is to reproduce the colors by halftoned or non-halftoned techniques.

In mode 2, two-bit binary values in the page buffer are assigned to each pixel of a multi-pixel cell. These two-bit values point to additional bytes in the memory block of the page buffer which in turn point to discrete colors in a spectrum of 256 colors. Thus, each pixel within the pixel cell can be printed in a color selected by the color portion of the page buffer.
