摘要:
An aperture stop focuses light from indicia onto a solid-state imager of an imaging reader. The aperture stop has an open aperture with a scan dimension sized to resolve symbol elements, and with a height dimension to allow sufficient light to be captured. A cylindrical lens can be used to collect additional light. The aperture stop provides a large depth of focus and enables symbols to be read over a wide field of view. The need to use an expensive multiple lens assembly with the imager is eliminated.
摘要:
A compact imaging lens assembly focuses light from indicia along an optical path onto a solid-state imager of an imaging reader. The lens assembly includes a pair of end focusing lenses of substantially a same size and spaced apart along the optical path, an intermediate lens between the end lenses, and an aperture stop between the end lenses.
摘要:
The combination of a rooftop optical element and a soft edge aperture stop, as well as the introduction of a negative spherical aberration in a positive focusing lens, improve working distance and depth of focus in both moving beam and imaging readers for electro-optically reading indicia such as bar code symbols, especially for close-in symbols, and moreover tend to reduce undesirable light intensity modulation in the beam profile thereby improving reader performance.
摘要:
Working range is increased in an electro-optical reader or an imager for reading indicia by applying a voltage to a variable lens to change the shape of a liquid therein.

A scan module in an electro-optical reader includes a first beam-folding mirror on a raised support wall at a rear of a support, and a second beam-folding mirror at a front of the support and operative for reflecting light through an opening in a frame wall to the first mirror for reflection therefrom above the frame wall between the front and rear of the support.

A power pack with human interface devices that includes a power pack housing, which is detachably interfaced to a portable device. The power pack includes a power source internal to the housing for providing power, a light source internal to the housing for producing a light signal associated with a status, which light signal is viewable external to the housing, and an audio source internal to the housing for producing an audio signal associated with the status. The power pack interfaces electrically to the portable device to provide power thereto, and receive therefrom control signals associated with the status, which control signals activate at least one of the light source and audio source according to the status.
摘要:
An apparatus includes a first lens, a liquid lens, imaging sensor arrays, an aperture stop, and a barcode decoding system. The first lens has a fixed optical power. The liquid lens has a variable optical power. The imaging sensor arrays are operable to receive light passing through both the first lens and the liquid lens. The liquid lens is positioned between the aperture stop and the imaging sensor arrays. The barcode decoding system receives signals from the imaging sensor arrays.
