摘要:
A method for controlling a workstation includes the following: (1) energizing a first illuminator to illuminate a first subfield of view with a first illumination pulse and subsequently energizing the first illuminator to illuminate the first subfield of view with a second illumination pulse; (2) exposing the array of photosensitive elements in the imaging sensor for a first sensor-exposure time and subsequently exposing the array of photosensitive elements in the imaging sensor for a second sensor-exposure time; and (3) processing an image captured by the imaging sensor to decode a barcode in the image. The first illumination pulse overlaps with the first sensor-exposure time for a first overlapped-pulse-duration, and the second illumination pulse overlaps with the second sensor-exposure time for a second overlapped-pulse-duration. The first overlapped-pulse-duration is different from the second overlapped-pulse-duration.
摘要:
Optical codes can include scanning an optical code and a character surrounding the optical code with a computer. A uniform resource locator can be extracted from the optical code. The uniform resource locator can be modified by associating the character surrounding the optical code with the URL extracted from the optical code.
摘要:
Systems and methods of monitoring progress of delivery of a patient-specific medication are disclosed. A patient/medication identification (ID) device is provided on a package containing the medication, the patient/medication ID device comprising medication/patient information indicative of the medication and the patient. At least one location ID device is provided at a location, the at least one location ID device comprising a unique location ID associated with the location. The medication/patient information and the patient/medication ID are read. Delivery progress information indicative of a last-known read location where at least one of the medication/patient ID information and the unique location identifier was read is generated. The delivery progress information is stored in a database. The delivery progress information is accessed from the database in response to the request. A delivery status of the medication is indicated to the user.
摘要:
A system for producing rugate tags comprises a processor and an etcher. The processor is configured to determine an identifying data value. The etcher is for producing an identifier. The identifier comprises a rugate phase tag. The rugate phase tag encodes the identifying data value at least in part using a calculated rugate phase information.
摘要:
A printed information device (10) includes a region of interest (14) in an image, and at least two channels assigned to the region of interest (14) by different means of logical partitioning. The region of interest (14) represents a physical area of the image. Each of the channels has a different error tolerance. Continuous and/or cyclic information is independently encoded in each of the at least two channels. The deterrent (10) is configured to be read substantially simultaneously by at least two distinct reading strategies.

An image recognition system includes an imaging device and a processor. The processor is configured to detect an image of an article within an image captured by the imaging device, in response to detection of the image of the article, start a code detection process and an image recognition process to select one or more candidates. When the code symbol is detected within a predetermined period of time after the code detection process is started, the processor decodes the code symbol and determines an article associated with the decoded code symbol as the article within the captured image. When the code symbol is not detected within the predetermined period of time, and said one or more candidates are selected within the predetermined period of time, processor determines one of said one or more candidates as the article within the captured image.
摘要:
A container for a foodstuff or beverage preparation machine, the container for containing beverage or foodstuff preparation material and comprising a code encoding preparation information, the code comprising: a data sequence having a plurality of marker locations, whereby said marker locations either comprise or do not comprise a marker as a variable to at least partially encode the preparation information therein, with adjacent marker locations separated by a distance of Δx; a calibration sequence having at least two markers with a distance of X1 therebetween, whereby the distance Δx between adjacent marker locations of the data sequence is related to the distance X1 of the calibration sequence.
