A lamp control for a hand-held OCR wand having a photosensor array positioned to sense light reflected into the wand through a reading aperture therein. A lamp is carried by the wand for illuminating the field facing the reading aperture. Recognition means connected to the array produces a control state when no light is reflected onto the array and a timer responsive to the control state is operable after a predetermined time delay to reduce the excitation of the lamp. Timer reset means responsive to reset of said control state restores normal lamp excitation.

Method and apparatus for directly converting between optical images and the spatial Fourier transforms of optical images by interacting sound waves and light. Controlled sound waves couple with optical images, and electrical signals may be derived from this coupling which are functions of the spatial Fourier transforms of the entire optical images. In a reverse process, optical images are obtained directly by coupling controlled sound waves with electrical signals which are a function of the spatial Fourier transforms of the optical images and with light.

Gain control for an optical reader having a scanned photocell array producing a multiplexed analog signal stream by cyclically sampling the signals on channels leading from the cells in the array. A memory stores digital coded words, one word for each given channel with each word representative of the response characteristics of a given channel. A multibit digital-to-analog converter receives the multiplexed signal. In synchronism with multiplexing the signals, gain control words are read from memory and each converted to an analog gain control voltage which is applied to the converter in coincidence with the appearance at the converter of the signals from the given channel to which the word corresponds to produce a multiplexed digital stream at the output of the amplifier independent of differences in responses of the channels to the same field of view.

Apparatus for directing and positioning a finger for print identification comprises a window having a surface on which a finger is placed, forwardly moving stop means for determining longitudinal placement of a finger and lateral finger guide means for determining the location of said finger with respect to said window, the first of said lateral guide means being substantially laterally stationary and the second being movable and biased toward said first lateral guide means, and means for directing a hand toward said window.

A combination of two symbol recognition systems, one of which is of the logic type and the other of the analogue type. The latter is put in operation by the logic system in case of ambiguity in the identification of symbols by the logic system. The combination allows the use of simplified recognition systems.

A simple means of detecting a straight line or edge using noncoherent optical techniques. An object is imaged onto a rotating film loop by a lens. The film loop has a number of parallel, equally spaced bars. When a straight line is detected which is parallel to the bars on the rotating film, its presence is indicated by a large signal being emitted by a photodetector.

The present invention relates to a method of converting a tape code, preferably an n-out-of-m code, into plain text, in which the scanning of the individual code rows is effected with the aid of parallel light beams.
