    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: There is disclosed a light guide for guiding light from a light source in a longitudinal direction and radiating the light to illuminate an object to be illuminated, which includes a diffuser for diffusing the light from the light source along the longitudinal direction of the light guide, and a radiator for radiating the light diffused by the diffuser in a predetermined direction. By arranging the diffuser and the radiator so that a normal line passing through the center of the width of the diffuser is different from the predetermined direction at least in the vicinity of the light source when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the light guide, the illuminance distribution of the longitudinal direction of the light guide is uniformed.

    Abstract: This invention has as its object to provide an image sensor which can effectively attain higher read resolution, and an image processing apparatus and information processing system using the same. To achieve this object, function members including a light source (6) for irradiating an object to be read (PP) with light, a sensor (3) for receiving light reflected by the object to be read (PP), and an imaging element (7) for forming an image of the reflected light on a light-receiving portion of the sensor (3) are attached to and supported by a support member (1) to have a predetermined positional relationship. In order to assure high attachment positional precision and rigidity for the function members, the support member (1) is formed to have a hollow shape. The support member (1) is formed to have the hollow shape along its longitudinal direction. Two side portions of the support member (1) are formed to have a hollow shape, and are coupled at end portions in the longitudinal direction.

    Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a light source, an elongate light guide member for guiding light emitted from the light source toward an image read line, and a plurality of light receiving elements for receiving light reflected at the image read line. The light guide member includes a first portion, a second portion, and a connecting portion for connecting the first portion and the second portion. The first portion includes a light incidence surface facing the light source for entry of light emitted from the light source, and the light incidence surface is convexly curved widthwise of the light guide member. The second portion includes a light exit surface oriented toward the image read line for emitting light toward the image read line. The connecting portion is narrower than the first portion and the second portion.

    Abstract: In an image sensor having a photoelectric conversion element for receiving light, an illumination unit, and a lens array in which a plurality of gradient index lens elements for focusing light reflected by an original onto the photoelectric conversion element are arrayed, part of the peripheral portion of the lens of the gradient index lens element in the radius direction contains a light absorber for absorbing light having a predetermined wavelength other than the wavelength distribution of light emitted by the illumination unit. With this arrangement, since the optical influences of the peripheral portion of the lens element, which degrade the lens resolution can be eliminated, and the lens elements can be accurately arrayed, there can be provided an image sensor which is free from crosstalk between the lens elements although the lens elements are arrayed in tight contact with each other, and has a large focal depth by changing the angular aperture, high performance, and hardly any performance variations in mass production, and an information processing system using the image sensor.
