Abstract: The present invention is an improved transparency scanning module, which is applied on a cover of scanning device. The transparency scanning module and the cover can be taken apart for different consuming groups. The features of the invention are that transparency scanning module is embedded in cover, and a slot of cover for holding transparency scanning module is set plural fillisters, and there are plural connectors set on the relative positions of transparency scanning module for connecting each other. When the fillisters connecting with the connectors, transparency scanning module is able to offer light and also transparency scanning module and cover are combined and fixed each other closely; on the other hand, rim of transparency scanning module is thinner, and most central part is protruding in z direction, thus transparency scanning module can be inserted and held in the slot of cover. This is another design for closely combination.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus for imaging an original document or photographic film includes an original placement bed on which to place the original, and a reading device to form an image of the original. A transparent original adapter, detachably connected to the image reading apparatus, includes a delivery device that moves the original along an original placement plane of the original placement bed. The transparent original adapter also includes a lighting device that illuminates the original as the reading device forms the image of the original. A film position adjustment device adjusts the original away from the original placement plane when the original is moved, and against the original when the image of the original is read by the reading device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a common illumination light source to replace the conventional backlight source as the light source in the scanner. The present invention is according to the identity of the document sheet (transparent or reflected) that the nullONnull or nullOFFnull of the linear light emitting diode arrays is controlled by the computer program to perform the scanning process. Further, the backlight module utilized the light guide device to collect the illuminating light that is emitted from the linear emitting diode arrays, and the illuminating light reflected through the document sheet to the image sensor device by the reflected mirror module. Thus, the scanner utilized the common illumination light as the light source to illuminate the document sheet that can reduce the cost of lamp holder and obtain the better outputting image data quality.

Abstract: A scanner consists of a base and a lid pivotally engaged with each other. The base includes a light generator and a reflective document scan module. The lid contains a penetrative document scan module. Light generated by the light generator projects to a scanned document located between the base and the lid. Depending on whether the scanned document is a reflective document or a penetrative document, the light may be reflected to the reflective document scan module, or penetrate the penetrative document to reach the penetrative document scan module. Thus the invention has two optical paths for scanning reflective documents and penetrative documents. And the two scan modules may provide different resolutions to scan the reflective documents and penetrative documents.

Abstract: A dual digitizer for digitizing both transparent and reflective data mediums is provided where light from the reflective illuminator reflects off the transparent illuminator when the transparent illuminator is off to provide a white reference signal for use in calibrating the dual digitizer. A method of calibrating a dual digitizer for reflective scans includes: digitizing a transparent data medium; calibrating the dual digitizer to establish a white reference signal, the calibrating step including generating a light beam, reflecting a first portion of the light beam off a transparent illuminator, and utilizing the first portion of said light beam to establish the white reference signal; and digitizing a reflective data medium. The dual digitizer may be used in medical applications to digitize a transparent data medium such as an X-ray film.

Abstract: The scanning method of the invention enables a user to scan transparencies with a duplex scanner having a moveable camera, and a mirror or light source associated with the camera on each side of the document path. The scanner, in its normal mode of operation, is a duplex reflective scanner which means the image, per side, is captured by reflecting light from a light source located on the same side of an opaque flat object as the CCD of the camera that captures the image. In order to scan transparencies, a mechanism is provided which allows an opposing camera light source to be aligned (moved at runtime) with the aperture of the camera opposite the opposing camera light source. This allows the light of the opposing camera light source to project through a transparent object while the opposite camera CCD captures an image of the transparency. The opposite camera, which captures the image, has its light source turned off while in the transparent scanning mode.
