Abstract:
ABSTRACT Methods and apparatus for providing a relatively miniature scan module, for example, a small retroreflective scan engine. An exemplary scan module comprises a chassis, a drive coil, a scan motor, a laser, a mirror module and a sensor. The mirror module can comprise, in an embodiment, a single piece fold/collection mirror module. Additionally, in an embodiment, the scan motor can comprise a molded spring module.
Abstract:
Described is a scanner for reading an optical code which includes a light transmission system and an image acquisition system. The light transmission system projects light on a target. The image acquisition system receives light reflected from the target to generate an image of the target. The image acquisition system is arranged to receive the light reflected from the target at a plurality of angles so that, when specular reflection of the target is associated with a first of the plurality of angles, light from a second one of the plurality of angles is available to minimize image degradation associated with the specular reflection.
Abstract:
A solid-state imager is mounted at a point-of-transaction workstation for capturing images of one- and two-dimensional indicia and is operated at high speed to resist image blurring due to relative movement between the target and the imager. Dedicated hardware assistance and computation resources are allocated to decode multiple, continuous and simultaneous video streams from multiple imagers at the workstation.
Abstract:
A raster pattern for reading bar code symbols is created by successively reflecting a light beam off scan mirrors oscillated respectively by a resonant motor drive and by another motor drive driven synchronously with the resonant drive.
