A solid-state imager is mounted at a point-of-transaction workstation for capturing images of one- and two-dimensional indicia and is operated at high speed to resist image blurring due to relative movement between the target and the imager. Dedicated hardware assistance and computation resources are allocated to decode multiple, continuous and simultaneous video streams from multiple imagers at the workstation.

Point-of-transaction workstation for electro-optically reading one-dimensional and two-dimensional indicia by image capture

Methods and apparatus for scanning objects using an imaging scanner comprising a housing, a circuit board comprising a mounted imaging sensor and an optical module positioned in front of the imaging sensor, creating at least part of an optical path between the optical module and the sensor. In an embodiment, the circuit board is positioned in the housing and the imaging sensor is tilted with respect to the optical path.

Imaging scanner

Described is a scanner for reading an optical code which includes a light transmission system and an image acquisition system. The light transmission system projects light on a target. The image acquisition system receives light reflected from the target to generate an image of the target. The image acquisition system is arranged to receive the light reflected from the target at a plurality of angles so that, when specular reflection of the target is associated with a first of the plurality of angles, light from a second one of the plurality of angles is available to minimize image degradation associated with the specular reflection.

Scanner and method for eliminating specular reflection

A scan module includes a scan motor, a laser; a sensor; and a mirror module. The mirror module includes (a) a collection mirror having an opening and (b) a fold mirror having a first end physically coupled to the collection mirror. A second end of the fold mirror is separated by a gap from the collection mirror.

Scan module

A bar code scanning device, system and method that utilizes one or more vertical cavity surface emitting laser diodes for producing at least one laser beam, where the vertical cavity surface emitting laser diodes are disposed on a substrate, and wherein the produced laser beam is substantially an essential single spatial mode laser beam. The bar code scanning device, system and method of present invention also comprise a photodiode attached to the substrate and arranged to receive at least a portion of the beam of light reflected off the scanned bar code or symbol.

Scanning devices and methods using surface emitting laser diodes

A mirror module, comprising a collection mirror comprising an opening and a first reflective surface lying in a first plane, and a fold mirror coupled to said collection mirror, said fold mirror comprising a second reflective surface lying in a second plane, the second plane not being parallel to the first plane. In addition, said fold mirror may extend behind said collection mirror at an angle, wherein said angle is established so that a laser impinging on said fold mirror is reflected through said opening in said collection mirror.

Scan lines are projected through a single horizontal window of a slot scanner and onto multiple surfaces of a product bearing a bar code symbol to be electro-optically read. The symbol may be in any orientation and on any vertical surface of the product, as well as on the bottom surface of the product.

Generating a scan pattern over multiple surfaces of symbol-bearing objects passing through flat bed reader

A raster pattern for reading bar code symbols is created by successively reflecting a light beam off scan mirrors oscillated respectively by a resonant motor drive and by another motor drive driven synchronously with the resonant drive.

Synchronous and resonant drives for producing multiple scan line pattern for electro-optically reading indicia

A vertical slot scanner generates a full coverage scan pattern for reading symbols presented or moved past a vertical window. Scan lines are generated in upper and lower central regions of the window to improve scanner productivity.

Reader for electro-optically reading indicia through vertical window at which full coverage, omni-directional scan pattern is generated

A dynamic omni-directional scan pattern is generated in an electro-optical reader for reading indicia by oscillating a mirror located between a light source and a rotating mirrored component. Light from the mirror is reflected off the rotating component and swept across a plurality of stationary mirrors for reflection therefrom through a window of the reader.

Dynamic omni-directional scan pattern generating arrangement and method in electro-optical readers

A multiple working range scanner includes a collection mirror which is segmented, with each segment having differing optical properties, such as focal length, optical axis, and so on. Differing segments or combinations of segments deal with reflected light received at differing working ranges, and direct it to a photodetector. In another embodiment, beam shaping may be applied to an astigmatic laser beam, for example by means of a part-concave mirror, to create an x waist in the beam which is further from the scanner than the y waist. This provides enhanced performance when the scanner is used on a bar code symbol which is not accurately aligned. In order to provide improved optical alignment within a bar code scanner, the collection mirror may be adjustable both in the x direction and in the y direction.

Optical scanner with segmented collection mirror

A scan module in an electro-optical reader includes a first beam-folding mirror on a raised support wall at a rear of a support, and a second beam-folding mirror at a front of the support and operative for reflecting light through an opening in a frame wall to the first mirror for reflection therefrom above the frame wall between the front and rear of the support.
