Abstract:
A high speed imaging apparatus for CCD based scanners comprises a housing having separate compartments which complement modular assemblies installed therein. A decoder compartment houses components associated with locating and decoding an image. An optics compartment houses the mirrors and associated optics for reflecting the subject image onto the CCD detector. A lighting compartment includes high intensity lamps and the associated components for illuminating an object to be imaged. The lighting compartment includes a heat management system which removes the heat from the high intensity lamps and prevents heat from migrating to other compartments within the housing.
Abstract:
An image sensor (S1) is provided that comprises: light guides (1,2) for irradiating light onto an irradiated object; a lens (15) that focuses reflected light that was reflected by the irradiated object; a sensor (16) that receives the reflected light that was focused by the lens (15); and a housing (10). The housing (10) houses or holds the light guides (1, 2), the lens (15), and the sensor (16), and is formed by integrating a housing metal portion (110) and a housing resin portion (210).
Abstract:
A light guide unit (20) includes, a first light guide (21) having a column shape that takes a light incident upon one end surface and emits a light from other end surface and from a light emitter on a side surface of the first light guide (21), and a second light guide (22) having a column shape that takes the light emitted from the other end surface of the first light guide (21) then incident upon one end surface of the second light guide (22), and emits the light from a light emitter on a side surface of the second light guide (22), and the one end surface of the second light guide (22) are located close proximity to the other end surface of the first light guide (21). The first light guide (21) includes a first mating member (28A), and the second light guide (22) includes a second mating member (28B) engaging with a first alignment member such that the side surface of the first light guide (21) having the light emitter and the side surface of the second light guide (22) having the light emitter are flush with each other, and the other end surface of the first light guide (21) is located close proximity to the one end surface of the second light guide (22).
Abstract:
An image sensor has a supporting member for integrally supporting a reading system including illuminating means for illuminating an original document, a photoelectrically converting means and imaging means for imaging light reflected by the surface of the original document onto the photoelectrically converting means, and has a member disposed on the side surface of the supporting member. The image sensor has two or more substantially independent spaces formed in the supporting member. The illuminating means, the imaging means and the photoelectrically converting means are accommodated in one of the spaces.

Abstract:
A compact, low-cost photographic film scanner 10 particularly adapted to scanning Advance Photo System (APS) film includes an imaging assembly having an elongated L-shaped housing with a photosensor, for example, a CCD 66, mounted directly to one end of the housing, the other end having a scanning aperture and film rails 84 integrally formed on the housing, the film rails 84 defining a film plane 86 over the scanning aperture. The housing comprises a two piece snap together configuration that provides support for the focusing lens 77 as well the photosensor and film scan gate. Additionally, the housing includes support arms 120 that receive and lock in place an LED illuminant head assembly 200. The imaging apparatus housing 70 conveniently snap locks into place on the scanner chassis in an opening formed in the film drive path 38.
