    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for direct part mark scanning where a scanner operator is provided with a scanner comprising a slanted front end. The slanted front comprises a window for a scan module, such as, for example a camera, and an illumination module. The slanted front guides a user to tilt the scanner when scanning dataforms. Additionally, the internal scan module can be positioned to view a target dataform at an angle, even when the object being scanned is not tilted with regard to the scanner body.

    Abstract: A data capture device is described. The data capture device includes an imager simultaneously capturing a barcode and an image associated with the barcode. A memory is coupled to the imager for storing the barcode and the image. A processor is coupled to the memory for decoding the barcode and processing the image. A notification system notifies a user that the image is being processed prior to the processor completing the processing of the image.

    Abstract: Age is verified by electro-optically reading the date of birth in a machine-readable format on a target, and by comparing the date of birth with a current date or a latest acceptable date. An output signal is generated when the date of birth and the date differ by a predetermined time period.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for improving direct part mark dataform decoding using a scanner comprising a processing unit, an optical module and an imaging sensor with an extended dynamic range. The scanner captures data to obtain an extended dynamic range image for analysis. In one embodiment, the sensor is sensitive to more than eight bits per pixel and in other embodiments multiple exposures are taken. Further in alternate embodiments, the scanner comprises a pass-band filter that passes the light emitted by an illumination module.

    Abstract: A method of identifying or authenticating a product by providing an analog identification indicium including a randomized pattern of identification features on a first part of the product wherein one or more attributes of the randomized pattern of identification features correspond to an item identifier. A digital identification record is provided on a second part of the product including an encoded digital version of the item identifier, the first and second parts being separable when the product is used. The randomized pattern of identification features of the analog identification indicium is read and decoded to generate an item identifier and the digital identification record is read and decoded to generate an item identifier. If a special light source is necessary to read the randomized pattern of identification feature, a flag is present in the analog identification indicium or the digital identification record that indicates one or more types of light sources that can be used to read the identification feature. The appropriate light source is activated to read the identification feature and if the appropriate light source is not available the user is alerted to this fact. The product is deemed authentic if the item identifier from the analog identification indicium substantially matches the item identifier from the digital identification record.
