    摘要: A technique for producing pixel patterns at different selected wavelengths. A diode laser is repeatedly pulsed and has its temperature changed from pulse to pulse, which causes the output wavelength to change. This allows pixel patterns to be interlaced by the use of dispersive elements such as prisms in the optical train. A temperature shift of about 15.degree. C. provides a wavelength shift of about 30 angstroms, which is usable. A temperature shift of 20.degree. C.-30.degree. C. or more is preferable. The temperature shifts may be accomplished by supplying specific currents below threshold and above threshold. For two-wavelength operation, the laser is driven at a first bias current below threshold for a first non-illumination interval, at a first pulse current above threshold for a first illumination interval, at a second bias current below threshold for a second non-illumination interval, and a second pulse current above threshold for a second illumination interval. The bias currents are sufficiently different so as to establish different operating temperatures for the illumination intervals. The temperature shifts may also be accomplished at least in part by use of an auxiliary heater.

    摘要: This invention provides self-clocking glyph shape codes for encoding digital data in the shapes of glyphs that are suitable for printing on hardcopy recording media. Advantageously, the glyphs are selected so that they tend not to degrade into each other when they are degraded and/or distorted as a result, for example, of being photocopied, transmitted via facsimile, and/or scanned-in to an electronic document processing system. Moreover, for at least some applications, the glyphs desirably are composed of printed pixel patterns containing nearly the same number of ON pixels and nearly the same number of OFF pixels, such that the code that is rendered by printing such glyphs on substantially uniformly spaced centers appears to have a generally uniform texture. In the case of codes printed at higher spatial densities, this texture is likely to be perceived as a generally uniform gray tone. Binary image processing and convolution filtering techniques for decoding such codes also are disclosed, but this application focuses on the codes.

    摘要: To facilitate the recovery data from an embedded data pattern through the use of a appropriately sized capture window that is randomly positioned within the data pattern, the embedded data pattern is composed of a plurality of identical, one dimensionally or two dimensionally regularly tiled embedded data blocks which contain sufficient spatial addressing information to permit the logical reconstruction of a complete data block from any set of fragments that collectively provide a full cover for the surface area of any one tile. To this end, the capture window is sized to include a shape which is completely registered with the data pattern in which is capable of tiling the recording medium in accordance with the tiling vectors.

    摘要: A technique for reducing interpixel crosstalk by selecting particular illumination conditions and thus tailoring a portion of the spatial frequency response of an optical image bar. A desirable frequency response is one that approximates sin(.pi.Pf) for absolute values of f less than about 1/P, where f is the spatial frequency and P is the minimum pixel pitch. A skew angle of zero and a grazing angle that is approximately twice the interorder diffraction angle provides the desired cutoff of the response for absolute values of f above about 1/P. The desired frequency response for absolute values of f near zero can be achieved by selecting appropriate values for other physical parameters.

    摘要: A discrete image bar having defective pixel generators redundantly addresses all pixel positions within an address space to produce an essentially defect free image. To that end, the footprint of the pixel generators of the image bar is shifted back and forth across an integer number of pixel positions widthwise of the address space as a function of time, and the input data for the image bar is synchronously countershifted in the opposite direction across an equal number of pixel generators, thereby sequentially bringing at least two different pixel generators into imaging alignment with each pixel position, without materially affecting the address space alignment of the input data. All of the defective pixel generators of the image bar are disabled, so the input data for them are shifted onto non-defective pixel generators after a suitable time delay, whereby the image corresponding to this shifted data is superimposed, sequentially in time, on the image corresponding to the unshifted data for the non-defective pixel generators. These partial images are recorded on a suitable recording medium, thereby causing them to incoherently spatially sum with each other to create an essentially defect free image of the spatial pattern represented by the input data.
