A system and method of scanning a machine-readable indicia may include, in response to determining that the scan engine module is in an engaged state and electrically connected to a computer, communicating the decoded data to the computer via a wired communications channel. Otherwise, in response to determining that the scan engine module is in a released state and wirelessly connected to the computer, communicate the decoded data to the computer via a wireless communications channel. The scan engine module may be configured to operate autonomously from the mobile computer to be able to scan machine-readable indicia, decode the machine-readable indicia to generate decoded data, and store the decoded data. In response to the machine-readable indicia being electrically connected to the mobile computer, the machine-readable indicia may be batched uploaded to the mobile computer.

Mobile computer with modular / companion scan engine unit

A complex device that integrates a beam shaping aperture in a printed circuit board of the complex device (e.g., scanner or barcode reader or optical module) is provided. The complex device has a light-emitting diode pattern projection system. The pattern projection system includes one or more light-emitting diodes and a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has one or more apertures and one or more receptacles. The one or more receptacles are positioned behind the aperture and receive the one or more light-emitting diodes. The printed circuit board with receptacle offer self-alignment for the light emitting diodes. The beam shaping aperture in front of the light-emitting diodes allows light to pass through the aperture that is part of the printed circuit board layer of the complex device.

Printed circuit board aperture based illumination system for pattern projection

A laser light projection apparatus is provided for projecting laser light onto the surface of a target object. The laser light projection apparatus includes a laser light source that generates laser light and a housing with a cavity therein defined by sidewalls, at least a portion of which have one or more reflective surfaces. The cavity extends along a center axis of the laser light and has a first portion at which a distance between opposing sidewalls is less than a distance between opposing sidewalls at a second portion of the cavity at a distance farther from the laser light source than the first portion. At least a portion of the laser light generated by the laser light source is reflected from the reflective surface of the sidewalls to form a two-dimensional pattern spaced apart from the center axis.

Barcode reading module

An imager module for an optical code reader may include a camera comprising a lens system, and an actuator for moving the lens system operatively connected to the lens system for autofocus adjustment. The actuator for moving the lens system comprises a linear electric motor with a drive shaft, a position sensor device adapted to detect the position of the drive shaft within a predefined stroke length and a control device adapted to control the movement of the drive shaft. The control device and the position sensor device are integrated in a single PCB, the electric motor comprises a frame that supports the drive shaft, and the single PCB constitutes part of said frame. On optical code reader may include such an imager module.

Optical code reader

In an apparatus for the preparation of a plurality of drinks from cartridges that are provided with an optical code on one of its faces identifying the cartridge itself and the corresponding drink, the reading of the optical code is made more certain and reliable thanks to a stretching member that extends the portion of the face of the cartridge containing the optical code, so as to deform it into a predetermined position, facing the reading window.

A hand-held reader of an optical code comprises a shell containing a mirror capable of deflecting a beam of light diffused by the optical code of a label or of a product. The mirror is mounted elastically in the shell by means of a spring element formed by a central plate capable of supporting the mirror, provided with two protruding fins. Each of the fins comprises a first portion inclined with respect to the central plate and a second portion folded over with respect to the first portion and provided with a slot capable of engaging in a disconnectable manner a projection of a supporting element integral with the shell.
