Abstract: In a conventional IC card connector, guide walls provided on side walls of a housing comprise surfaces parallel to each other, and an interval between the guide walls is somewhat greater than a maximum width of a standard of the IC card. If the IC card having the width less than the maximum value of the standard is used, the IC card is greatly slanted due to a large amount of play, and an operation member of a detection switch cannot be operated by the IC card. In an IC card connector of the present embodiment, if the width of the IC card is small, the IC card is supported at sides by vertical surfaces, thus the movement of the IC card in the widthwise direction is regulated. If the width of the IC card is large, the IC card is supported at the side by a slope, thus the movement of the IC card is regulated. Accordingly, the arrangement provides a highly-reliable IC card connector device which ensures operation of an operation member of a detection switch by the IC card and ensures connection between contacts provided on the IC card and terminals.

Abstract: An optical scanner for reading optically encoded indicia such as a bar code is contained within the same housing as a mouse-type position sensing device. The position sensing portion comprises a track ball extending through a lower opening in the housing and associated movement detection electronics. As the housing is moved by the user across a flat surface, the track ball engages the surface and the associated electronics detect the extent of the movement of the device across the surface. Conveniently located keys allow the user to activate a switch by clicking, and this data along with positional data detected by the track ball electronics is provided as input to an associated computer. The device comprises an optical scanner in the form of a laser beam source, means for oscillating the laser beam so as to produce a scanning beam directed outwardly through a window, and a photodetector for sensing light reflected from a target indicia such as a bar code. The device also comprises a digitizing means for converting the analog signal from the photosensor indicative of the reflectivity of the target indicia into a digital data signal representative thereof. The digital bar pattern is provided to the associated computer along the same transmission means as the positional data.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for automatically aligning the field of view of a two dimensional bar code reading device with a randomly oriented two-dimensional bar code symbol wherein the symbol comprises a unique pattern located contiguously on at least one side thereof. One method is implemented in a laser based embodiment by scanning the symbol with a laser scan line extending through the border pattern (which is a PDF417 start codeword), measuring the length of the start codeword detected by the scan line, and rotating the laser scan line by a predetermined amount. This is repeated for a predetermined number of times, and the rotation angle at which the codeword length is smallest is determined by performing a least squares fit of the measured codeword lengths and rotation angles. The raster pattern is then rotated to the determined rotation angle so as to be aligned with the symbol for subsequent scanning and decoding. In the alternative, a sequential least squares fit can be performed after each start codeword measurement is made rather than waiting for all measurements to be made. An alternative embodiment implements a discrete radial CCD array comprised of linear CCD arrays which enables angular scanning of the target symbol, wherein a two-dimensional CCD array is then rotated either physically or logically by the calculated skew angle in order to be aligned with the symbol for imaging and subsequent processing and decoding.

Abstract: A system and method for locating and reading digital data in data regions within a data field disposed on a surface of an object to be identified include the capability of compensating for optical or physical distortions of the data field as viewed by an optical reader. The data field is defined by X-axis and Y-axis intersecting basic lines disposed at a predetermined angle with respect to each other and a corner mark disposed on the opposite side of the data field from those basic lines. A plurality of positions marks for marking predetermined distances between a plurality of imaginary X and Y axis internal lines are also provided. The positions of the imaginary X-axis internal lines within the data field are determinable from their spacings and angles with respect to the Y-axis basic line. The positions of the imaginary Y-axis internal lines are determinable from their spacings and their angles with respect to the X-axis basic line. The location of the points of intersection of the imaginary X and Y axis internal lines are calculated in order to define data regions within the data field. The system and method compensate for optical and physical distortions of the locations of the X and Y axis basic lines, corner mark and position marks at the time of reading the data in order to accurately locate positions of the data regions within the data field.

Abstract: A robotic arm calibration system is described which comprises a video line scan camera vision system used in conjunction with a plurality of novel "N"-shaped targets in an automated tape storage library. The targeting system of the present invention provides, with a single horizontal video scan of the target, all of the data necessary to enable calculation of a reference point of the robotic arm with respect to each target to thereby obtain precise robotic arm calibration in relationship to the library system workspace. The position of the robotic arm is determined using the vision system in conjunction with calibration targets which are located within the tape cartridge library, in addition to a target located on the robotic arm. The present system functions independently of the spacing between the arm retrieval mechanism and the tape cartridge storage cells.
