A cartridge engaging assembly (10) may include a frame (38) having a cartridge access end (46). A thumb assembly (40) for engaging and disengaging a cartridge (14) is slidably mounted to the frame (38) so that the thumb assembly (40) is capable of moving toward and away from the cartridge access end (46) of the frame (38). A rack and pinion drive assembly (42) is operatively associated with the thumb assembly (40) and moves the thumb assembly (40) toward and away from the cartridge access end (46) of the frame (38).
摘要:
An improved lens focusing and referencing arrangement for an imaging system (60) of the type which may include a photosensor array (152). The imaging system housing (100) may include reference surfaces (324, 326, 354, 356) configured such that they contact the lens (210) only near the ends thereof in order to minimize the effect of any irregularities in the reference surfaces (324, 326, 354, 356).

摘要:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for using light sources (12,13), such as LEDs, to illuminate target areas (22). At least one embodiment of the invention provides a system for illuminating target areas using multiple light sources (12,13), wherein the system comprises a first light source (12) configured to illuminate a first target area (22). The system further comprises a second light source (13) configured to illuminate a second target area, wherein the second target area is located more distant from the second light source (13) compared to the distance from the second light source (13) to the first target area (22). According to at least one embodiment, the illumination from the first light source (12) and the illumination from the second light (13) source overlaps on the first target area (22), and the intensities of the first and second light source (12,13) are adjusted to provide a relatively balanced illumination of the first target area (22).
