Abstract:
Implementations of an apparatus including a housing having therein at least one light source, the at least one light source oriented to direct light out one side of the housing, and an arc-shaped reflector connected to the housing, the arc-shaped reflector having a reflecting sur-face optically coupled to the at least one light source to reflect light from the at least one light source to a position adjacent to the housing.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an apparatus comprising a base including a proximal end, a distal end, and a receptacle in the distal end that is adapted to interchangeably receive a lens adapter; a set of base optics positioned in the proximal end of the base; and adjustable-focus optics positioned in the base and optically coupled to the base optics and, when the lens adapter is present, to the lens adapter. Embodiments of a process including forming a base including a proximal end, a distal end, and a receptacle in the distal end that is adapted to interchangeably receive any one of a plurality of lens adapters; positioning a set of base optics in the proximal end of the base; and positioning adjustable-focus optics positioned in the base such that they are optically coupled to the base optics and, when the lens adapter is present, to the lens adapter. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system, which can comprise a dome. The dome can have a truncated four-sided pyramid shape. The system can comprise a crown adapted to be operatively coupled to an apex portion of the dome. The system can comprise a plurality of light sources adapted to illuminate an object.
Abstract:
According to embodiments of the present invention, a barcode scanner platform is provided in which the gain of an analog signal representative of a barcode is controlled using a control loop. In embodiments, an MTF detector generates a value (e.g., DC) representative of a low frequency portion (wide or out of optical focus elements) of the analog signal and a second value (e.g., DC) representative of a high frequency portion (narrow elements or in optical focus elements) of the analog signal. The processor uses the first and the second values and a reference amplitude to determine a gain IE signal. The processor provides the gain signal to an AGC circuit that provides a linear response to the gain signal using matched JFETs. A noise filter can be enabled or disabled based on the first value, the second value, and/or the barcode scanner platform read rate.
Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed of an apparatus including a curved reflector having an interior and an open end; a light module positioned around a perimeter of the open end of the reflector, the light module including a first side having one or more interior light sources thereon to direct light toward the interior of the reflector and a second side having one or more exterior light sources thereon to direct light away from the reflector; and a light pipe coupled to the light module and aligned so that light from the one or more exterior light sources is launched into the light pipe. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
A process including retrieving a list of one or more candidate objects with which an origin object can communicate using a standard command language, wherein at least one of the one or more candidate objects uses a command language different than the standard command language. The process queries the schema of one or more target objects selected from among the one or more candidate objects and uses the standard command language to transmit to the one or more target objects commands and/or data consistent with the schemas of the target objects.
Abstract:
Für eine besonders einfache und sichere Analyse eines Objekts werden erfindungsgemäß das Objekt (2) repräsentierende Daten (D) erfasst und anhand eines hinterlegten und/oder aktuell erzeugten Algorithmus derart verarbeitet, dass für das Objekt (2) eine mehrere funktionsbezogene Elementarbausteine (14, 14a bis 14z) umfassende Aktion (16) vorgegeben wird, wobei die Daten (D) mittels der Aktion (16) zugrunde liegenden Relationen anhand der die Aktion (16) repräsentierenden funktionsbezogenen Elementarbausteine (14, 14a bis 14z) analysiert und bewertet werden.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an apparatus including a first processor core having a local agent running thereon, the agent comprising a local process and a proxy agent and a second processor core having a remote agent running thereon, the remote agent being an instance of the local agent. A shared memory wherein coupled to the first processor core and the second processor core, wherein the local agent and the remote agent communicate via the shared memory. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
