    摘要: A low profile optical unit for use in a 2D bar code reader. A vertically disposed light redirecting panel having contoured reflective openings therein is mounted in the front of the unit and an LED behind the panel. Light emitting diodes for illuminating a target are mounted on the LED board behind the contour openings whereby direct light and reflected light illuminates a target. An imager housing is mounted on the back of the LED board and contains a recess that passes through the back of the housing and a lens barrel that extends forward through holes provided in the LED board and the light redirecting panel. An imager board is secured to the back of the housing which holds a 2D imager that is contained within the housing recess. Circuitry for generating image data signals is mounted on the back of the imager board. A lens holder is threadably mounted in the lens barrel which contains a lens system having a short back focal length for focusing a target image on the imager.

    摘要: An apparatus for illuminating an indicia in a sensing region of an object plane. A housing has a median longitudinal vertical plane and a horizontal scanning plane. A reflector for reflecting light directed thereagainst toward the sensing region has a first approximately curvilinear profile in a plane parallel to the scanning plane, and a second approximately curvilinear profile in a plane parallel to the median longitudinal plane. The central portion of the reflector defines an opening whereby light from the sensing may return in generally the same plane as light directed toward the sensing region.

    摘要: A bar code reader is provided which can read bar code symbols of varying contrast, from high to medium to low contrast. The bar code reader includes a digitizing circuit which digitizes an analog signal representing the reflectance function of a scanned bar code by comparing the analog signal to a threshold signal. In the present invention, the threshold signal is switchable between a first state wherein the threshold signal is a standard threshold signal suitable for digitizing analog signals representing medium to high contrast bar code symbols and a second state wherein the threshold signal is a non-standard threshold signal suitable for digitizing analog signals representing low contrast bar code symbols. In one embodiment of the invention, the threshold signal is manually adjustable. In another embodiment, a bar code reader is provided which automatically digitizes and decodes bar code symbols of varying contrast by repetitively scanning bar code symbols, using first and second alternating threshold signal states to digitize the analog signal resulting from each scan.

    摘要: A system and method for storing, within an image transfer medium, an image and image-specific data associated with the image includes obtaining the image-specific data from a probe such as a borescope or endoscope, obtaining the corresponding image, choosing a specific image transfer medium, writing the image to the medium, and writing the image-specific data to a marker in the medium. In this manner, storing a combination of image data and one or more of system calibration data, overlay replacement data, and audio comment data in a single file of either a non-standard file format or a standard file format that does not explicitly support the inclusion of these data types is possible.
