Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for determining at least one actuation characteristic of an imaging device. For example, one method includes determining a target distance to move a lens by an actuator to focus a scene on an image sensor, where moving the lens by the actuator causes an associated lens vibration having at least one actuation characteristic, determining a scan sequence having a plurality of successive measurements, each measurement having at least a first measurement parameter and subsequent measurement parameter, each measurement parameter including at least one step and at least one time delay, moving the lens the target distance for each successive measurement based on the measurement parameters of each successive measurement, measuring a performance indicator of each successive measurement, and determining at least one actuation characteristic based on the first measurement parameter of the measurement having the highest performance indicator.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for damping unwanted vibrations or ringing of a lens in an imaging device. For example, one method includes determining a target distance to move a lens, and dividing the target distance into multiple steps having at least a first step and a subsequent step, moving the lens, via an actuator, by the first step, thereby causing a first vibration, retrieving a damping parameter indicative of a time delay, the damping parameter being based on at least one characteristic of the actuator and the number of steps, and repeating said moving the lens at least one subsequent step after delaying the subsequent step by one of the damping parameters, each moving the lens a subsequent step causing a subsequent vibration, and the damping parameters affecting the vibration such that the first and subsequent vibrations at least in part modify each other to lower overall vibration.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for translating a carriage from one position to another position utilizing an injection molded plastic translating system are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, an injection molded plastic translating system is utilized within a flatbed scanner to translate a scanhead carriage along a desired path during the scanning process. The plastic translating system is formed utilizing gas injection molding techniques, resulting in a plastic translating system that does not warp. Further, the plastic translating system is smooth to allow the scanhead carriage to be translated with substantially no vibration. Also, the plastic translating system of a preferred embodiment results in very little wear after many translations of the carriage. Because the plastic translating system of a preferred embodiment may be molded as part of the base of the scanner or as part of a platform that is utilized within the scanner, the total number of parts utilized within the scanner is reduced and the total cost for assembling such scanner is reduced. Moreover, the injection molded plastic translating system disclosed herein may be utilized for many other types of devices that require a component to be translated from one position to another along a desired path.
