Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer program product for obtaining the location of, for example, a mobile device. The present invention comprising: obtaining an image of a target in a defined space; analyzing the image to obtain identification data and image positional data, the image positional data comprising a position in the image of a reference point relative to the target; using the identification data to obtain target location data comprising a location of the target in the defined space; and determining the location of the reference point in the defined space by combining the image positional data and the target location data.

Abstract: A wearable computer communicates with its display device via an optical link. The optical link may utilize different coloured LEDs and corresponding photodetectors for transmitting and receiving the video and control signals to and from the computer and the hand-held display package. The wearable computer may communicate with a local area network by a radio communications link. The use of two antennas mounted and associated with the wearable computer eliminates any gap within a propagation pattern emanated from the antennas.

Abstract: System for adjusting holographic scanner lockout voltage in a fixed position optical scanner with a multi-faceted holographic disk including circuitry for adjusting the lockout voltage as a function of the focal length of the active facet. A facet identifying signal is used to address a lockout table (84) in processor (38) memory, and a digital value retrieved from the lockout table (84) is converted to analog form (66) and applied through a resistor (68) to a voltage divider (54, 56) in a scaling circuit (52). The voltage divider scales down a white peak following voltage (48) and compares (50) it to a black peak following voltage (48). The facet-dependent lockout voltage biases the junction (58) of the voltage divider to vary the effective lockout voltage as a function of the focal length of the currently active facet.

Abstract: Operating parameters for a multiple facet holographic disc scanner are adjusted on real time basis as a function of the actual diffraction efficiency of the facet region aligned with the impinging laser beam. The operating parameters are adjusted to achieve optimum signal levels independent of facet characteristics. Diffraction efficiency is inversely related to zero order beam power for a given level of input beam power. A photodetector measures the zero order beam power. The output of this photodetector is used to control video amplifier gain and/or semiconductor laser current.
