摘要:
An operator is guided to move an imaging reader to an optimum reading position in which to read a symbol by image capture. Optimum image capture occurs substantially at an imaging plane of an imaging assembly, and the operator is visually guided so that the symbol is located substantially at the imaging plane in a working range of distances.

Working range and beam cross-section are adjusted in an electro-optical reader for reading indicia by applying voltages to electrodes in one or more liquid crystal lenses in which the index of refraction is changed.

A reader for electro-optically reading indicia, includes a sensor for sensing light from the indicia, and for generating a signal indicative of the indicia. A support includes a housing in which the sensor is contained, and a light-transmissive window through which the light from the indicia passes en route to the sensor. The window and the housing are both constituted of a same moldable material and are integrally molded together as a single component of one-piece, seamless construction. A pressure indicator is also integrally formed with the housing, for visually indicating pressure within the housing.
摘要:
In an imaging reader for reading a target located in a range of working distances from the reader, a solid-state imager captures light from the target in the range of working distances over a field of view, an aiming system visually illuminates the symbol with an aiming light pattern, and a steering system steers the aiming light pattern and/or the field of view to be substantially aligned throughout the range of working distances to aid an operator in aiming the imager at the symbol prior to reading.
摘要:
A solid-state imager is mounted in a reader, such as a bi-optical, dual window, point-of-transaction workstation, for capturing light along an optical axis over a field of view from diverse targets useful for customer identification, customer payment validation, operator surveillance, and coded indicia. An optical converter is located within the housing, for optically modifying and asymmetrically magnifying the field of view along mutually orthogonal directions generally perpendicular to the optical axis, and for increasing resolution of the imager along one of these directions.

An aiming pattern assembly (60) for an imaging-based bar code reader (10) including: a light source assembly (62) generating focused light; a pattern shaping assembly (66) receiving focused light from the light source assembly (62) and including a first area (66a) and a non-overlapping second area (66b), focused light passing through the first area (66a) creating a first aiming pattern (P1) projected toward a field of view (FV) and passing through the second area (66b) creating a second aiming pattern (P2) projected toward the field of view (FV); and a pattern selection assembly (68) receiving the first and second aiming patterns (P1, P2) and passing at least one of the first and second aiming patterns (P1, P2).
摘要:
A target is illuminated with light for image capture by a solid-state imager and an imaging lens of an imaging reader over a wide field of view which is narrowed by a curved folding mirror that enables far-out and close-in targets to be imaged and read.
摘要:
A target is illuminated with illumination light without creating hot spots in a field of view of a solid-state imager of an imaging reader to improve reader performance.
摘要:
An imaging based bar code reader for imaging and decoding a target bar code. The reader features a housing including a scanning head defining a horizontal axis and an imaging system supported by the housing for imaging the target bar code. The imaging system including a 2D sensor array and focusing optics receiving reflected illumination from the target bar code through the window and focusing the reflected illumination onto the sensor array. The sensor array includes an orthogonal array of pixels and defines a horizontal axis. The reader further features a decoding system for decoding an image of the target bar code. The sensor array is oriented such that the horizontal axis of the sensor array is at an acute angle with respect to the horizontal axis of the target bar code when the target bar code is being presented to the scanning head such that the horizontal axis of the target bar code is substantially parallel to the horizontal axis of the scanning head.
