Abstract: Apparatus and method are disclosed for performing halftoning of a computer image (40). Halftoning of a current pixel (41) is performed by error diffusion whereby a halftoned output value of the current pixel is determined using errors derived from substantially all previously halftoned pixels (42) of the image (40). Output error values (80) are determined for each pixel and acted upon by an error diffusion mask (53) of geometrically reducing values. In certain embodiments, the previously halftoned pixels (42) are divided into two or more groups (43,44 ; 90-93) to obtain a desired contribution from previously halftoned pixels.

Abstract: A pneumatic tyre comprises a bead core (5) disposed in each of bead portions (4) and a carcass ply (6) turned up around the bead cores. The bead core (5) is provided in the radially inner surface with a swell (10). The swell (10) has a radius of curvature (R) in the range of from 0.35 to 2.0 times the width of the bead core. The swell (10) preferably extends all over the width of the bead core (5). As a result, no rubber layer is formed between the carcass ply (6) and the radially inner surface of the bead core (5), and the contact pressure between the tyre and rim is optimised to improve the bead durability. Further, it becomes possible to reduce tyre weight.

Abstract: A method and apparatus improves digital reproduction of a compound document image containing half-tone tint regions and text and/or graphics embedded within the half-tone tint regions. The method entails determining (30) a local average pixel value for each pixel in the image, then discriminating and classifying (40) based on the local average pixel values, text-graphics pixels from half-tone tint pixels. Discrimination can be effected by calculating a range of local averages within a neighborhood surrounding each pixel; by calculating edge gradients based on the local average pixel values; or by approximating second derivatives of the local average pixel values based on the local averages. Text/graphics pixels are rendered using a rendering method appropriate for that type of pixel; half-tone tint pixels are rendered using a rendering method appropriate for that type of pixel.
