Abstract: An optical scanning unit particularly adapted for use in remote optical character recognition systems or the like and including a document feed drum together with a rotating mirror arranged to sweep a narrow beam of light on a scan path across the drum while the latter is stationary between indexing steps, there being provided adjacent the scan path an elongate strip of semiconducting material of the PIN type arranged to produce electrical output signals in response to incident light reflected from the scanning sweep across the document, thereby to develop scan signals indicating the presence or absence of character elements along the scan path.

Abstract: A system comprising a central station having data processing apparatus with a common data buss arrangement interconnecting a data processor with its peripheral devices including a number of incoming data buffers. A plurality of remote desk top scanner units are connected to the central station, each being arranged to receive a document bearing graphic characters and to scan the characters on the document with an optical light beam so as to sweep the character area in a series of adjacent paths. Each remote scanner has means to develop scan signals representing the light reflected from the scanned document and to produce binary code groups indicating the scan distances between certain selected events such as white-to-black transitions. The code groups from each remote scanner are transmitted to a respective data buffer at the central station and subsequently are decoded to reconstruct the original video scan data in a form suitable for deciphering by character recognition means so as to identify the individual characters of the document. The central data processing apparatus, including decoding and character recognition means, operates on a time-sharing basis to service all of the remote units.

Abstract: A central time-shared data processing system organized for character analysis and coupled to a number of remote document scanning stations each including a drum document feed, the drum being rotatable in small incremental steps, and means operable between steps for scanning the document along a path parallel to a line of characters on the document to produce data identifying graphic figures for analysis by the central processing system.
