Abstract: Ethernet and Universal Serial Bus (USB) powered printing devices are provided. In particular, Ethernet and USB powered printers and methods of Ethernet powering of printers that support high speed printing and/or data intensive printing. Such high-speed and/or data intensive printing operations are able to be Ethernet or USB powered by providing for a power storage unit within the printer device that is able be charged during non-printing periods and provide for necessary energy bursts to support such higher powered processes. In addition, the present invention provides for devices and methods that allow for printers to operate with main power provided by conventional power mains and for back-up or secondary power to be supplied by Ethernet or USB power. Additionally, the invention provides for Ethernet or USB powering, both primary and back-up, of the data and configuration settings in the printer control and image generating electronics. In the back-up power mode, the Ethernet or USB power insures that data and configurations are not lost during periods of main power outage. The invention also provides a printer and method that can optimize a printing operation, e.g., by adjusting the speed of the printing operation according to the power required for the operation and/or the power available.

Abstract: A vehicle monitoring system including a computer with a main database, and a vehicle monitoring module, including a first processor and a local database. The computer being configured to execute a software application or the equivalent configured to accept a criteria from at least one input; analyze the criteria to determine specific information required from the main database for retrieving a vehicle parameter; extract the specific information from the main database; and convey the specific information to the first processor. The first processor is configured to receive the specific information regarding the vehicle parameter taken from the main database and convey and store the specific information regarding the vehicle parameter to the local database. The first processor is also configured to communicate with a vehicle computer network to read certain data from the vehicle computer network related to the vehicle parameter.
