Abstract: An optical scan module, for example for an optical scanner, includes an integrally molded plastics material member which defines not only the laser focusing lens, but also the laser focusing aperture and the collection mirror. In addition, the molded member may act to house and to locate both a semiconductor laser and a photodetector, thereby ensuring easy and accurate placement of those elements within the scanning assembly. The optical assembly may be in modular form, mounted onto a common printed circuit board with a beam scanner.

Abstract: A first module (10), including a laser for emitting a laser beam and a photodiode for detecting light reflected from a bar code symbol, is independently mounted on a support (14a) in a spaced relation to a second module (12) which includes a movable reflector and a drive for moving the reflector. The reflector is advantageously mounted for oscillation on a pair of taut elements constituting an endless band.

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: 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: Several optical systems for imaging engines of imaging optical code readers are disclosed. Each optical system includes the abilities to change the dept h of field of the imaging field and to adjust a focus quality of the imaging field. The disclosed structures for changing the depth of field of the disclosed optical systems allow for the automatic or manual selection of one of a plurality of depths of field.

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).

Abstract: A bar code reader has an integrated scanning component module which is mountable on a printed circuit board. In one embodiment, the module may include the digitizer/decoder electronics, enabling the module to be used with a generic PCB. In some embodiments, the module includes a high speed optical scanning arrangement having an optical element which extends longitudinally of a flexible member, secured at one end. In other embodiments, the invention extends to a hand-held optical scanner having a scanning assembly, detector and data transmission coupling all mounted to a common printed circuit board, preferably located within a manually-graspable handle. In yet a further embodiment, an abuse-detector or accelerometer is provided for determining when the device is exposed to deceleration above a predetermined limit, and optionally for automatically shutting down applications programs and for providing a black-box-record of a short time frame before the device was exposed to an unexpected shock. Preferably, the reader is shock protected by a thermo-plastic elastomer housing section. An outgoing light beam is directed at a non-orthogonal angle relative to the PCB.
