摘要:
Holographic laser scanner (1) of ultra-compact design which produces a three-dimensional laser scanning volume that is capable of reading one-dimensional and two-dimensional bar code symbols and other types of graphical indicia within large or small scanning volumes of highly confined (i.e., controlled) geometry, using holographic optical elements (13A, 13B, 13C) including a rotating disc (7) that supports a plurality of facets (9), and at least one visible laser diode(s) (12A, 12B, 12C). The three-dimensional laser scanning volume has multiple focal planes and a highly confined geometry extending about a projection axis extending from the scanning window, including an aperture, of the holographic scanner (1).

摘要:
A fully automated package identification and measuring system, in which omni-directional laser scanning systems (10, 101, 107) are used to read bar codes on packages entering the tunnel, while a package dimensioning subsystem (600) is used to capture information about the package prior to entry into the tunnel. Mathematical models are created on a real-time basis for the geometry of the package and the position of the laser scanning beam used to read the bar code thereon. The mathematical models are analyzed to determine if collected and queued package identification data is spatially and/or temporally correlated with package measurement data using vector-based ray-tracing methods, homogeneous transformations, and object-oriented decision logic so as to enable simultaneous tracking of multiple packages being transported through the scanning tunnel.

摘要:
Novel methods are disclosed for designing and constructing miniature optical systems and devices employing light diffractive optical elements (DOEs) for modifying the size and shape of laser beams produced from commercial-grade laser diodes, over an extended range hitherto unachievable using conventional techniques. The systems and devices of the present invention have uses in a wide range of applications, including laser scanning, optical-based information storage, medical and analytical instrumentation, and the like. In the illustrative embodiments, various techniques are disclosed for implementing the DOEs as holographic optical elements (HOEs), computer-generated holograms (CGHs), as well as other diffractive optical elements.
