Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive and rugged scanner which can be easily replaced with another by preparing an optical module and a PCB(printed circuit board) having a stationary electric connector, which is attachably connected to a coupler that electrically connects the optical module fixed to the PCB to the PCB. SOLUTION: An optical module and a PCB 212 are prepared. The optical module includes an optical scanner 206 which scans a mark to be read, an optical detector which detects the light reflected from the mark that is currently read and also supplies the data signal shown by the mark and a movable electric coupler. The PCB 212 has a stationary electric connector which is attachably connected to a coupler that is fixed to the PCB 212 and electrically connects the optical module to the PCB 212, and contains an electric circuit fixed to the PCB 212 for control of the optical module. The electric circuit prepared on the PCB 212 includes a drive device that drives the scanner 206.

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.

Abstract: An electro-optical scanning device reads indicia having parts of different light reflectivity, including bar codes and matrix arrays such as UPSCODES. The scanning device includes laser or light emitting diodes for emitting at least two light beams of the same or different wavelengths. The light beams may be visible to the human eye, and the beams are optically directed to form one or two scan lines to scan portions of a symbol. Dual photosensor(s) or a charge coupled device detects light reflected from the different portions of the symbol. The charge coupled device can be used to detect either reflected ambient light or the reflected visible light from the beams emitted by the diodes. The photosensors generate signals corresponding to the detected light which can be processed simultaneously. The device is particularly useful in reading two dimensional or more complex symbols. Methods for reading indicia are also described.

Abstract: A hand-held electronic device includes a housing having a front side facing a user when the device is in use and an oppositely facing back side. An information processing device is accommodated in the housing, and an arrangement for exchanging information with the information processing device is accessibly located at the front side of the housing. A handgrip configured to be substantially conformingly received in the palm of the hand of the user is situated on the back side of the housing. The handgrip is substantially barrel-shaped, including a diverging surface that diverges toward the bottom of the device. At least one trigger button is disposed on a lateral portion of the diverging surface, at a location to which the tip of the user's forefinger naturally gravitates, and is inclined at predetermined acute angles with respect to both a central plane separating the front side from the back side of the housing, and a symmetry plane extending normal to such central plane from top to the bottom of the housing. A dome-shaped casing is turnably mounted and selectively arrested on the top portion of the housing and accommodates at least a portion of an optical train of an optical scanner. A multiterminal connector provides a moisture and contaminant seal.
