摘要:
A compact assembly for electro-optically scanning indicia includes an oscillatable component operative for focusing, and for sweeping, a light beam across the indicia and, optionally, for correcting for scan aberration. A laser diode for emitting the beam is inserted into a central opening surrounded by an electromagnetic coil to conserve space. A magnet on the component interacts with the coil to effect oscillation. A floating flexure returns the component to an equilibrium position.
摘要:
A method of reducing the cost of transmitting data from a portable or mobile hand-held data terminal to a remote data receiving station over a wireless communications network by determining the associated data transmission cost for each communication link between the terminal and the station; and selecting a data transmission link from the terminal to the station such that data transmission cost is minimized.

摘要:
A data system and method for retrieving information from a particular address of a computer network using a collection of bar code symbols and a hand-held, portable terminal. Each of the bar code symbols of the collection includes encoded data that is associated with a particular computer network address. The hand-held, portable terminal comprises a reading unit including a laser scanner or a CCD array, a communications unit, and a display. In operation, the reading unit scans or images a bar code symbol from the collection, the communications unit establishes a connection to the computer network and accesses the computer network address associated with a particular bar code symbol, and information stored on the computer network at a location associated with the network address is transferred to the terminal and displayed on the display.

摘要:
A system for transferring data between a centrally located site and a portable communications terminal via a telephone network, the site having associated therewith a look up table containing plurality of data records correlating to items disposed at a retail establishment, wherein each of the items has associated therewith a bar code encoded with the indicia unique to each item, with each of the bar coded indicia corresponding to a particular record in the table, the data containing at least a portion of said record.
摘要:
A portable instrument incorporates an electro-optical assembly for reading indicia during a reading mode, and for projecting a bit-mapped color image during a display mode. A manually operable switch on the instrument is disposed for selecting one of the modes. The color image is formed by pulsing a plurality of differently colored lasers at selected times on selected scan lines.
