| 20090001166 | Imaging reader with plural solid-state imagers for electro-optically reading indicia - A plurality of solid-state imagers is mounted in a reader, such as a bi-optical, dual window, point-of-transaction workstation, for capturing images along different fields of view of diverse targets useful for customer identification, customer payment validation, operator surveillance, and coded indicia. The imagers are commonly mounted on a circuit board for joint installation at, and joint removal from, the reader for ease of serviceability. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20120228383 | IMMOVABLE PRICE CHECKER WITH AN ANGLE-ADJUSTABLE SCANNER - An immovable price checker with an angle-adjustable scanner is installed on a wall for scanning barcodes of an article and includes a base, a scanner, a processor, a display and a pivoting means. The base is fixed to the wall. The scanner is connected to the base for scanning the barcodes of the article. The processor is electrically connected to the scanner. The display is fixed to the base and electrically connected to the processor. The display is configured to display data processed by the processor. The pivoting means is connected between the base and the scanner. The scanner is rotatable with respect to the base by using the pivoting means as a center of rotation to thereby adjust the angle of the scanner. Thus, the convenience and practicability of the present invention are improved greatly. | 09-13-2012 |
| 20120318869 | HYBRID-TYPE BIOPTICAL LASER SCANNING AND DIGITAL IMAGING SYSTEM SUPPORTING AUTOMATIC OBJECT MOTION DETECTION AT THE EDGES OF A 3D SCANNING VOLUME - A hybrid-type bi-optical bar code symbol reading system having a vertical housing section with a vertical scanning window, and a horizontal housing section with a horizontal scanning window, from which laser scanning planes are projected and intersect within a 3D scanning volume defined between the vertical and horizontal scanning windows. An automatic object edge-motion detection subsystem is provided for detecting the entry and exit of objects at the edge of the 3D scanning volume, and generating control signals in response thereto. A digital imaging subsystem is supported within the system housing and automatically projects a field of view (FOV) within the 3D scanning volume in response to control signals generated by the automatic object edge-motion detection subsystem and timer settings managed by a system controller. | 12-20-2012 |
| 20130175342 | SAMPLE INFORMATION DETECTION APPARATUS AND SAMPLE INFORMATION DETECTION METHOD - According to an embodiment, a sample information detection apparatus includes, a reflection unit includes a reflection mirror configured to reflect an image of a sample container configured to contain a sample, an image acquisition unit includes an imaging unit configured to image an imaging range covering images reflected by the reflection mirror, the image acquisition unit being configured to acquire the image of the sample container that is reflected by the reflection mirror, and a sample information detection unit configured to detect information displayed on a side portion of the sample container based on the acquired image. | 07-11-2013 |
| 20140027518 | HYBRID-TYPE BIOPTICAL LASER SCANNING AND DIGITAL IMAGING SYSTEM SUPPORTING AUTOMATIC OBJECT MOTION DETECTION AT THE EDGES OF A 3D SCANNING VOLUME - A hybrid-type bi-optical bar code symbol reading system has a vertical housing section with a vertical scanning window and a horizontal housing section with a horizontal scanning window from which laser scanning planes are projected and intersect within a 3D scanning volume defined between the vertical and horizontal scanning windows. An automatic object edge-motion detection subsystem is provided for detecting the entry and exit of objects at the edge of the 3D scanning volume and generating control signals in response thereto. A digital imaging subsystem is supported within the system housing and automatically projects a field of view (FOV) within the 3D scanning volume in response to control signals generated by the automatic object edge-motion detection subsystem and timer settings managed by a system controller. | 01-30-2014 |
| 20140034735 | Method, Apparatus and System for Scanning Optical Codes - A method, apparatus and system are presented for improving an optical code scanner used in an assisted service point of sale terminal by automatically detecting the placement of an item for scanning on the customer side of the optical code scanner and configuring the scanner to scan the item. Once the item is scanned, the optical code scanner reconfigures to scan items presented on the cashier side of the scanner. When the scanner automatically detects, configures and scans an item presented on the customer side of the scanner, it reduces the checkout time and reduces the number of operations a cashier must perform. | 02-06-2014 |
| 20150102109 | INDICIA READER - An illuminating, indicia-reading device includes a hand-held indicia reader and a charging-and-communication base. The charging-and-communication base's communication button places the hand-held indicia reader in presentation mode when the hand-held indicia reader is seated in the charging-and-communication base, thereby facilitating hands-free scanning and providing work lamp functionality via activation of the hand-held indicia reader's light source. When the hand-held indicia reader is not seated, the communication button pages the hand-held-indicia reader. | 04-16-2015 |
| 20150122890 | DATA READING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTI-VIEW IMAGING USING AN ADJUSTABLE MIRROR - An automated checkout system for data reading, and related methods of use, the checkout system including a portal scanner and a conveyor for transporting items, the portal scanner housing a data reader with a view volume directed at a steerable mirror. In one example, the steerable mirror moves between various positions to augment the effective view volume of the data reader for capturing data from various surfaces of the item being transported on the conveyor. The portal scanner may include one or more mirrors arranged in an angular configuration to redirect the view volume of the data reader to capture data from the various surfaces of the item. | 05-07-2015 |
| 20160110575 | Dimensioning and Barcode Reading System - A system and method for calibrating a barcode scanning tunnel comprises providing a scanning tunnel having a moveable surface, a camera, and a dimensioning device. Orientations of the dimensioning device and camera are estimated. Instances of a calibration object on the moveable surface are acquired by the dimensioning device and the camera, and a relationship is defined between the two devices. A calibration object is moved along the moveable surface through the devices' fields of view, controlling the camera's focal distance according to the relationship, so that the dimensioning device and the camera acquire instances of the calibration object, and the relationship is revised. | 04-21-2016 |
