Abstract:
A broadband antenna includes a substrate having a first surface on which a first radiator arm, a second radiator arm, a first connecting conductor and a first grounding section are disposed, and a second surface on which a second connecting conductor and a second grounding section are disposed. The first connecting conductor has one end connected to a junction at which the first and second radiator arms are interconnected, and has another end connected to the first grounding section. The first connecting conductor has a feed-in point disposed thereon. The second connecting conductor has one end connected to the second grounding section. Moreover, at least a portion of the first connecting conductor overlaps with a projection of the second connecting conductor onto the first surface so that transmission directions of signals in the first and second connecting conductors are the same.

The invention discloses a sheet-feed scanner having multiple sheet-feeding mechanisms which includes a paper passage, a first sheet-feeding mechanism, a second sheet-feeding mechanism, a sheet-transporting mechanism and an image-capturing assembly. The first and second sheet-feeding mechanisms feed a sheet of a document into the paper passage, wherein the first sheet-feeding mechanism is disposed at a first end of the paper passage, and the second sheet-feeding mechanism is disposed at a second end of the paper passage. The sheet-transporting mechanism transports the sheet inside the paper passage. The image-capturing assembly is disposed at a side of the paper passage and captures an image of the sheet fed into the paper passage.
Abstract:
In a multi-stage scanning method for increasing a scanning speed and enhancing an image quality, an optical module is firstly moved from a start position to a forward-internal position in a forward direction, and then enabled to scan a first portion of a document to obtain a first image until the module reaches a forward-boundary position. Then, the module is moved from the forward-boundary position to an end position in the forward direction. Next, the module is moved from the end position to a reverse-internal position in a reverse direction, and then enabled to scan a second portion of the document to obtain a second image until the module reaches a reverse-boundary position. Then, the module is moved from the reverse-boundary position to the start position, in the reverse direction, and then stopped. Finally, the first and second images are stitched into a complete image.
Abstract:
The scanning apparatus includes a movable chassis and a main board fixed on the body. A charge-coupled device module and a front end processing device are disposed on the chassis. An application-specific integrated circuit is positioned on the main board. After the charge-coupled device module detects a light analog signal, the application-specific integrated circuit communicates with the front end processing device through a command interface. Therefore, the light analog signal is converted into the light digital signal by the front end processing device, and then the light digital signal encoded into low voltage differential signaling form is transmitted to the application-specific integrated circuit for proceeding the subsequent image processing.
Abstract:
A method for processing an image containing a picture and character is provided. First, an image containing a picture and a plurality of characters is received. Afterwards, the picture is separated from the characters to respectively produce an image of the picture and at least one character block. Next, the characters of the at least one character block are recognized. Then, the character data corresponding to the characters of the at least one character block are produced.

The invention provides an image scanning device and an image scanning method. The image scanning device has an automatic sheet feeding function and is equipped with a detector for detecting a thickness of a sheet. Also, the thickness may serve as a scanning parameter, according to which a scanning speed is adjusted so that the quality of a scanned image can be maintained.
Abstract:
A duplex scanning device includes a casing, a transporting mechanism, a scanning unit and a scanning unit rotating mechanism. The transporting mechanism transports a sheet along a transporting passageway, which includes a front passageway, a middle passageway and a rear passageway. The scanning unit rotatably mounted on the casing scans the sheet in the middle passageway. The transporting mechanism transports the sheet from the front passageway to the rear passageway through the middle passageway so that the scanning unit scans a front side of the sheet. Then, the scanning unit rotating mechanism rotates the scanning unit by substantially 180 degrees. Next, the transporting mechanism transports the sheet from the rear passageway to the front passageway through the middle passageway so that the scanning unit scans a back side of the sheet.
Abstract:
An image capturing device with duplex scan function for scanning a to-be-scanned document and a method therefor. A first image sensor senses the a first optical signal unit of a first side data of the to-be-scanned document and outputs the generated first analog signal unit. A second image sensor senses a second optical signal unit of a second side data of the to-be-scanned document and outputs the generated second analog signal unit. An ASIC controls exposure timings of the first image sensor and second image sensor. A multiplexer alternately selects the first analog signal unit or the second analog signal unit. The ASIC sequentially and alternately outputs a first digital signal unit and a second digital signal unit, converted from the first analog signal unit and the second analog signal unit by an A/D converter.

Abstract:
A sheet-fed double-sided document scanner is disclosed and includes a first image-capturing assembly, a second image-capturing assembly, a sheet-transporting mechanism, a power receiving interface, and a control circuit. The scanner switches scanning modes according to a power input. The sheet-transporting mechanism transports a document past the first image-capturing assembly and the second image-capturing assembly. The power receiving interface receives power. When a power level of the received power is less than a default threshold level, the control circuit controls the scanner to scan a first side and a second side of the document in a first mode. When the power level of the received power reaches the default threshold level, the control circuit controls the scanner to scan the first side and the second side of the document in a second mode.
