摘要:
A scan engine (15) includes illumination sources (48, 50) for projecting a light beam (40) upon a target object, a focusing lens (44) that receives a reflected light (34) of the target object and focuses a reflected image (35) as it passes through the focusing lens (44) along an optical axis (A-A), and a linear sensor (46) that receives the reflected image (35) from the focusing lens (44). The linear sensor (46) provides a signal (59) representing the reflected image (34). A circuit board (16) is integrally connected to the illumination sources (48, 50) and the linear sensor (46).

Described are a scan motor and a method of its manufacturing. The scan motor may include a static substrate; a dynamic substrate coupled to the static substrate via at least one flexible spring; a magnet coupled to a first side of the dynamic substrate; and a reflective element coupled to a second side of the dynamic substrate.
摘要:
A target is illuminated with illumination light along a direct optical path that has no optical surface areas shared with a folded optical path along which light is captured by an imager in an imaging reader.
摘要:
An aperture stop focuses light from indicia onto a solid-state imager of an imaging reader. The aperture stop has an open aperture with a scan dimension sized to resolve symbol elements, and with a height dimension to allow sufficient light to be captured. A cylindrical lens can be used to collect additional light. The aperture stop provides a large depth of focus and enables symbols to be read over a wide field of view. The need to use an expensive multiple lens assembly with the imager is eliminated.
摘要:
A mirror module, comprising a collection mirror comprising an opening and a first reflective surface lying in a first plane, and a fold mirror coupled to said collection mirror, said fold mirror comprising a second reflective surface lying in a second plane, the second plane not being parallel to the first plane. In addition, said fold mirror may extend behind said collection mirror at an angle, wherein said angle is established so that a laser impinging on said fold mirror is reflected through said opening in said collection mirror.

A trigger for initiating reading, and a lightpipe for displaying the results of the reading, together form an integrated molded assembly for installation into an electro-optical reader.
摘要:
A plurality of imaging modules, each including a solid-state imager mounted on an individual printed circuit board (PCB), is mounted in a reader, such as a bi-optical, dual window, point-of-transaction workstation, for capturing images along different fields of view of diverse targets useful for customer identification, customer payment validation, operator surveillance, and coded indicia. The imaging modules are individually mounted on a motherboard for individual installation at, and individual removal from, the reader.
摘要:
A compact, low-cost, high-performance, imaging engine for an imaging reader for, and a method of, imaging targets, include a single printed circuit board (PCB), an illumination light assembly supported by the PCB for illuminating a target, a single chassis mounted on the PCB, an imaging lens assembly supported by the chassis for capturing return light from the illuminated target, and a solid-state imager supported by the PCB for detecting the captured return light over a field of view, and for generating an electrical signal indicative of the captured light. A controller is mounted on or off the imaging engine, and is operatively connected to, and controls the operation of, the imager and the illumination light assembly, for processing the electrical signal into data indicative of the target being imaged.
摘要:
An imaging module for imaging, and a reader for and a method of electro-optically reading, a target, include a support, an imaging assembly including a solid-state imager having an array of image sensors on the support for capturing return light over a field of view at a range of working distances from the target along a folded imaging path, and an illuminating assembly on the support for directing illumination light along a folded illuminating path having a length longer than the folded imaging path to uniformly illuminate the target with the illumination light. The longer length of the folded illuminating path enables the illuminating assembly to illuminate the target with more of the illumination light, and also enables the imaging assembly to capture more of the return light for increased imaging/reading performance.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for expediting self-checkout at a point-of-sale station, employ a mobile electronic device, e.g., a cellular phone, held and operated by each customer. The device images one-dimensional symbols identifying items to be purchased, decodes the one-dimensional symbols to form decoded data, combines the decoded data to form one or more two-dimensional symbols, and displays each two-dimensional symbol on a display screen. Each displayed two-dimensional symbol is presented to a window of an electro-optical scanner at the point-of-sale station. The scanner images and decodes each displayed two-dimensional symbol to form a series of decoded data indicative of all the one-dimensional symbols, and sends the series of decoded data to a host network.
