The present invention relates to a steering wheel assembly. The steering wheel assembly has a center portion and an outer rim. The outer rim encircles the center portion. A cover and an upper housing are also added to the center portion. The cover goes over the top of the center portion whereas the upper housing is positioned below the cover. The upper housing is constructed such that it is capable of being depressed from a normal position to a compressed position. An intermediate portion is also added to the steering wheel. The intermediate portion is positioned between the outer rim and the center portion and forms an interface with the cover. The steering wheel is constructed such that when the upper housing is in the normal position, there is no gap at the interface between the cover and the intermediate portion. This may be accomplished by constructing the intermediate portion to include an overhanging portion that overlaps and fits together with the cover. Alternatively, a shingle that attaches the cover to the intermediate portion may be used to prevent a gap from forming at the interface when the upper housing is in the normal position.

An adaptive halftone scheme is applied to a compound document to smooth the rendering while preserving edge sharpness. The adaptive halftone scheme involves identifying document regions as either smooth, edge or texture. Each identified region is then processed as follows. Wherever a smooth region is adjacent to an edge region and wherever a smooth region is adjacent to a texture region, create a transition region in a portion of that smooth region bordering that other region and apply a blend of a screening halftone technique (SCN) and an error diffusion with screening halftone technique (EDSCN) to that transition region, apply SCN to the remainder of that smooth region, apply ED to that other region if it is an edge region, and apply either EDSCN or SCN if it is texture region.
