Abstract: Scanning devices, and related methods, for constraining RFID signals within a physical location are disclosed. An example scanning device includes a housing, an identification tag reader in the housing, the identification tag reader having an active mode in which the identification tag reader is configured to identify tags within a detection region about the housing and determine identification data for the identified tags, and the identification tag reader having an inactive mode in which the identification tag reader is prevented from detecting tags within the detection region, and a detector in the housing configured to detect a presence of a control item in an environment, the identification tag reader in the active mode when the control item is detected in the environment, and the identification tag reader in the inactive mode if the presence of the control item is not been detected.

Abstract: A method and arrangement for wirelessly charging a barcode reader in a base station is disclosed. The barcode reader and base station each have an induction coil. The induction coil in the base station is electrically coupled to an electric power source, and generates an electromagnetic field. The induction coil in the barcode reader is electrically coupled to a power storage component. The barcode reader is configured to rest on the base station. When the barcode reader is resting on the base station, the induction coil in the barcode reader is exposed to the electromagnetic field, and a current is induced in the induction coil in the barcode reader. A positioning feature of the base station constrains movement of the barcode reader along a first plane, and permits rotation of the barcode reader about a vertical axis that is substantially normal to the first plane.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of reading DPM codes on objects therewith are provided. An apparatus includes a housing and a first imaging assembly housed within the housing and includes a first image sensor. The apparatus also has a second imaging assembly housed within the housing and includes a second image sensor. The apparatus also includes an illumination assembly configured to provide an illumination light having a central illumination axis. At least two of a FOV central axis of the first imaging assembly, a second FOV central axis of the second imaging assembly, and the central illumination axis pass through a plane within a first distance of no greater than about 40 mm of each other. The plane being (i) normal to the first FOV central axis and (ii) a second distance between about 0 to about 5 inches from a nose of the housing.

Abstract: An imaged-based scanner includes a housing having a lower portion, an upper portion, and an extension arm extending upward from the lower portion to the upper portion. A lower portion includes a base having an exit window and an imaging assembly mounted in that base with at least one field of view directed upwardly through the exit window. The upper portion has imaging assembly that has at least two fields of view. That upper imaging assembly is mounted such that the two fields of view extend downwardly toward the lower portion with each field of view positioned to have a central axis that is offset with respect to a center normal of the exit window.

Abstract: Indicia readers with internal displays are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, an indicia reader includes a housing having a lower portion and an upper portion, the lower portion having a first window positioned in a generally horizontal plane, the top portion having a second window positioned in a generally upright plane. The reader further includes an imaging assembly positioned within the housing, the imaging assembly configured to capture image data associated with an item presented at a product-scanning region of the bi-optic reader. Additionally, the reader includes a user-interface (UI) display positioned within the housing, the UI display configured to present visual data to an operator of the bi-optic reader, wherein the visual data includes data associated with the item presented at the product-scanning region of the bi-optic reader.

Abstract: Various vision devices are disclosed herein. An example vision device is an indicia reader that includes a housing, an imaging assembly having a field of view (FOV) extending into a product-scanning region and configured to capture image data depicting an environment appearing within the FOV, and an illumination assembly configured to emit a structured light into the product-scanning region such that at least a portion of the structured light overlaps with at least a portion of the FOV in the product-scanning region. The indicia reader is selectively operable pursuant to one of a first or a second set of operating parameters based on a distance value, where that value is determined by analyzing, in the image data, an appearance of the structured light on some portion of an object appearing within the FOV.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for operating an indicia reader. An example system includes an imaging assembly, at least one processor and memory storing instructions that cause the processor to: capture and store in memory one or more images comprising image data; generate one or more lower resolution images comprising lower resolution image data corresponding to the one or more images; analyze the lower resolution image data to detect an object of interest; in response to detecting the object of interest and having the object meet a predetermined condition, determine a region of interest in the one or more lower resolution images corresponding to the object; access the one or more images from memory; generate cropped image data by cropping the one or more images to include the region of interest; analyze the cropped image data to determine information corresponding to the object; and transmit a message to a host.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to indicate off-platter weigh conditions are disclosed herein. An example barcode reading and weighing apparatus includes: a weigh platter having a surface extending in a first transverse plane; a scale configured to measure a weight of an item on the surface; an off-platter detection assembly configured to detect whether a portion of the item is not resting on the weigh platter; a communication interface configured to communicate with a POS system; a processor in communication with the weigh platter, the off-platter detection assembly and the communication interface; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the barcode reading and weighing apparatus to, when the portion of the item is not resting on the weigh platter, modify the weight to form a modified weight and send the modified weight to the POS system via the communication interface, wherein the weight is modified to indicate the portion of the item a3was not resting on the weigh platter.
