Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and techniques for reading optical codes, and more particularly to code reading systems with plural imaging or scanning modules pointed in various directions toward a target volume, which increase the likelihood that a code symbol on an arbitrarily oriented object in the target volume will be read. Other aspects of the invention relate to use and configuration of hand held readers, docking devices, operator side rails, arched tunnels and mirrors for increasing the coverage of the system. Additional aspects of the invention relate to components associated with point of sale installations or code reading terminals including integrated scales, input pads, system controls and displays.

Abstract: An optical scanner such as a bar code scanner includes a segmented mirror (14), the individual sections of which have different profiles (16,18,20). By directing the scanning laser beam across the mirror, a plurality of scan lines are created, at different distances from the scanner. This provides increased flexibility by extending the scanner's working range. In alternative embodiments, a collector mirror and/or a scanning mirror may be segmented. In addition, beam shaping may be provided by reflecting the beam from one or more aplanar surfaces.

Abstract: Electro-optical reading failure to read indicia due to specular reflection in the return light captured by a solid-state imager is prevented. An illuminator illuminates the indicia during reading with illumination light directed from an illuminating light source. In one embodiment, a controller is operative for detecting saturation in a captured image, and for reducing an intensity of the illumination light upon detection of the saturation. In another embodiment, the controller captures the return light in successive frames, and causes the illumination light to illuminate the indicia only during some of the frames. In yet another embodiment, the controller turns the illumination light on and off at a flash rate, and signals a user by changing the flash rate upon detection of the saturation to move a housing that supports the imager, illuminator and controller.

Abstract: An optical scan module, for example for in a bar code reader including a light source, 208 mounted on the base of the module and at least one fold mirror, 213,215, for reflecting and redirecting the scanning light beam along an optical path, 212,214,206, which is parallel to the base and over at least a portion of the top side surface of the module, so that the scanning beam is longer than the length of the side of the module which the scanning beam passes over enroute to the target. Focusing optics for collecting light reflected from the indicia comprises either an element configured such that its first surface receives the incoming light, and the second surface attenuates rays collected from the middle at the scan line relative to the rays collected from the ends or an element having a cross-section of a cosine function over one cycle. The sensor for detecting the reflected light has selectively activatable discrete 1 and 2 portions corresponding to the position of the spot beam on the target indicia.

Abstract: The invention relates to optical scanners. The invention comprises a multi-range scanner assembly for electro-optically reading indicia having parts of differing light reflectivity on a target located at a variable distance from the assembly, comprising: (a) a first light source for producing a first beam for short range scanning operations; (b) a second light source for producing a second beam for long range scanning operations; (c) a scanning element including a scanning mirror for causing the first and second beams to be alternately scanned over a field of view; (d) a collection optical system for collecting light reflected from the field of view; and (e) an optical detector for detecting light directed thereto by the collection optical system and for generating electrical signals corresponding to the reflected light.
