    Abstract: A point of sale counter (220) has plural food products each uniquely associated with a bar-code symbol to identify the product when optically scanned. The counter also includes a cash register (112) with an antenna (208) and a combination scale/printer (160), while an operator uses a scanner (10). When weighing a product, the scanner is aimed at the product bar-code so that the scale/printer prints the correct price label. An independent claim is included for a method of assisting customers in a retail establishment.

    Abstract: In bar code symbol scanning systems employing laser, optical and sensor components, a mirrorless scanner arrangement mounts one or more of these components on a drive for repetitively reciprocating movement either about an axis or in a plane to effect scanning. All of the components are mounted together in a common assembly to constitute a compact, lightweight scan module which is mounted in an interchangeable, modular manner in housings of different configurations.

    Abstract: A symbol scanning system which adaptively changes scanning system parameters including light beam pattern and focus to improve barcode readability. The scanning system including: a scanner, responsive to coordinate control signals, for directing a light beam in a pattern at a symbol at a predetermined location, detecting a reflected portion of the light beam, and generating a feedback signal corresponding to the detected portion of the reflected light beam; a microprocessor, responsive to the feedback signal, for generating pattern control signals; a pattern generator for generating the coordinate control signals in responsive to the pattern control signals and for determining the light beam pattern; and signal processing circuitry, including drive and control units, for adjusting gain, bandwidth, and digitizer threshold levels.

    Abstract: A plurality of the areas of differing light reflectivity of a bar code symbol (34) or the like are simultaneously illuminated using, for example, a beam of laser light (22) that has an elongate cross-section. The light beam (22) is swept over the symbol to be read in a direction transverse to the elongated dimension of the illuminated region (78) so that a two-dimensional area (42) of the symbol is illuminated over time. The reflected light is sensed by a 1D CCD array (50). A microprocessor (52) within the scanner provides visual feedback to aid a user in aligning the device, and also provides for a selectable aspect ratio for the image, a selectable image resolution and size, a selectable aspect ratio of the illumination, and a selectable pixel size. All of these options may be programmed within the microprocessor (52), enabling the device to read a large variety of two-dimensional symbols.

    Abstract: An integrated scanner for scanning a barcode is formed on a common substrate. The scanner may include a micro-machined mirror, a laser diode, and a detector, mounted on a single substrate or several connected substrates. Lenses can be used to focus a laser beam from the laser diode as well as expand a laser beam deflected by the micro-machined mirror. The scanner may also scan a barcode without using a micro-machined mirror by rotating the laser diode.
