    Abstract: A system for tracking an asset includes wireless access points and a computing arrangement communicating with the access points to determine a location of the device as a function of first data, second data indicative of a travel time of a third signal from the device to three access points and the locations of the three access points. The first data includes one of first signal strength data and second signal strength data indicative of the strength of first and second signals transmitted, respectively, by the device and received by the three access points. The location area is an area within a predetermined reception range of the three access points. The arrangement determines the location of the device within the location area as a function of second data and a further location of each of the at least three further access points of the plurality of access points.

    Abstract: An integrated optical module for an optical scanner has a lens (24) spaced from a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) (28) by a spacer (62). The module, in an alternative embodiment, may include a wafer frame (12), a suspended mirror (14) mounted for oscillation on the frame, a wafer substrate (108) bonded beneath the frame and a wafer cover (109) bonded above the frame. The cover includes a mirror travel stop (116) to protect the mirror against shock. A VCSEL mounted to the wafer cover produces a beam which is shaped and deflected by a diffractive optical element (22,24) onto the oscillating mirror. The reflected beam passes out of the module toward an indicia to be read. Large numbers of such devices may be fabricated relatively cheaply using wafer-scale processing and assembly technology. Three large wafers (1100,1102,1104) are fabricated corresponding respectively to arrays of substrates, frames and covers. The large wafers are bonded together in a sandwich arrangement, and are then diced to produce the individual scan modules. The modules may provide either one-dimensional or two-dimensional scanning.

    Abstract: A wrist-mounted optical scanner comprises a body portion (900) which is secured to the user's wrist by a strap (902), in the manner of a wrist watch. The body portion has a display (904), a miniature microphone (906), a photodetector (908), a transmitter unit (917) and a plurality of function keys (910). Beneath or within the body portion (900) there is stored a key pad (912) which can be slid in and out in the direction of the arrow (914) for access to the keys (916). The keys may be actuated by means of a pen or stylus (918).
