Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an improved lamp mode for an imaging device. The imaging device may include an image sensor; an illumination source; and a processing assembly communicatively coupled to the image sensor and the illumination source, and the processing assembly may be configured to: responsive to a scanning event trigger, cause the imaging device to enter a first illumination mode, wherein, in the first illumination mode, a first activation duration of the illumination source is synchronized with an image frame rate of the image sensor to capture image data at the image sensor for indicia decoding; and responsive to sensing an external signal at the imaging device, cause the imaging device to enter or exit a second illumination mode, wherein, in the second illumination mode, a second activation duration of the illumination source is greater than the first activation duration.

Abstract: At least some embodiments of the present invention are directed toward optical arrangements for use in providing illumination light emitted by a barcode reader. In some embodiments, the arrangement includes an illumination source, a lens positioned within the path of the illumination light emitted by the illumination source where the lens is operable to collimate the light and redirect its central axis, and a window positioned within the path of the redirected and collimated light where the window is operable to alter the illumination light such that the resulting illumination light beam has a height-to-width ratio of less than 8 to 25.

Abstract: A barcode scanner assembly for capturing at least one object appearing in a field of view (FOV) is provided that includes a base defining a curved base surface and a scanner enclosure being mechanically coupled to the base. The scanner enclosure includes a top portion and a bottom portion opposite the top portion. The bottom portion of the scanner enclosure is positioned proximate to the base. The bottom portion of the scanner enclosure includes a curved scanner enclosure surface. The curved base surface and the curved scanner enclosure surface are nested such that a clearance of less than approximately 5 mm is formed between the curved base surface and the curved scanner enclosure surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rapid product identification using barcode decoding and machine vision. An example scanning system includes a first imager configured to capture a first image of a first object and a second imager configured to capture a second image of a second object passing across a scanning area of an indicia reader. One or more processors are configured to analyze and decode an indicia within the first image, transmit the decoded first indicia value to a host, and store the first indicia value locally on the memory associated with the indicia reader. The processors may also determine whether the second object is substantially similar to the first object by comparing image data. The processors may also determine the second object is substantially similar to the first object and, in response, transmit the first indicia value to the host.

Abstract: Scanning device assemblies including scanning devices and associated bases. An example scanning device assembly includes a scanning device including a housing, an optical imaging assembly disposed in the housing, and a base. The optical imaging assembly having an imaging field of view (FOV). The optical imaging assembly configured to capture one or more images of an environment appearing within the FOV. The base includes a base coupling portion to mate with a housing portion of the scanning device for supporting the scanning device during operation. The scanning device assembly includes a magnetic-rotational coupling formed between the scanning device and the base and allowing the scanning device to rotate relative to the base, while the base maintains support of the scanning device.
