    摘要: A laser focus control system including a laser for generating a scanning light beam to visually illuminate an information encoded bar code symbol. A segmented photodiode detects light reflected from the symbol and generates a plurality of electrical signals, each signal based on the light energy incident on the segments of the photodiode, thereby representing the spatial intensity variations of the symbol. A scanning zone processor then filters, averages, and compares the electrical signals to a noise threshold, and assigns logic levels based on the comparisons. Thereafter, a scanning zone detector determines the corresponding scanning zone distance based on the combination of logic levels and determines whether the system has stabilized within the zone distance. The scanning zone distance is then furnished to the laser focus controller in order to adjust the laser focus of the scanning device. The system is incorporated in a shock-resistant hand-held device.

    摘要: A bar code reader has an integrated scanning component module which is mountable on a printed circuit board. In one embodiment, the module may include the digitizer/decoder electronics, enabling the module to be used with a generic PCB. In some embodiments, the module includes a high speed optical scanning arrangement having an optical element which extends longitudinally of a flexible member, secured at one end. In other embodiments, the invention extends to a hand-held optical scanner having a scanning assembly, detector and data transmission coupling all mounted to a common printed circuit board, preferably located within a manually-graspable handle. In yet a further embodiment, an abuse-detector or accelerometer is provided for determining when the device is exposed to deceleration above a predetermined limit, and optionally for automatically shutting down applications programs and for providing a black-box-record of a short time frame before the device was exposed to an unexpected shock. Preferably, the reader is shock protected by a thermo-plastic elastomer housing section. An outgoing light beam is directed at a non-orthogonal angle relative to the PCB.

    摘要: A scan board module includes a printed circuit board on which optical and scanning components are mounted in an optically-aligned relationship. The module is mountable in hand-held heads and protected from damage due to external shock by shock mounts, or in workstations which are either directly of indirectly connected to a cash register-type terminal or hand-held terminal.
