A system for illuminating and reading information on a target () includes an illuminating device () for illuminating the target, separate from the illuminating device a user wearable reader device () for capturing an optical image of the target when illuminated by the illuminating device, detector means () for detecting the location of the reader device and adjustment means () for adjusting the illumination provided by the illumination device in response to a signal provided by the detector means so that a region () on the target illuminated by the illuminating means is readable by the reader device. A method of use of the system and an illumination unit for use in the system are also described.

System, method and equipment for reading information on a target

This invention relates to electronic equipment comprising microprocessors, and more specifically microprocessors employed within radio receiver circuits, incorporating on-chip memory (301, 302, 303) and which have the ability to operate in either a single chip or expanded mode. The single chip mode restricts microprocessor (300) operation to internal operation and thereby inhibits external addressing and locally generated noise whereas the expanded mode allows external addressing. A software program, comprised from modules of program code, is categorised into a first and a second category of routines. First category routines are related to equipment functions which are affected by generated noise to a higher degree and, when in operation, are stored in the internal memory (301, 302, 303). Second category routines are stored in a memory external to the microprocessor (201, 202) and are related to equipment functions which are affected by generated noise to a lesser degree. The first and second category routines are executed in the microprocessor's single chip and expanded modes respectively.

System for storing different categories of routines in internal and

An arrangement for optically coupling separate modules forming part of a multiprocessor system comprises an air-filled substantially cylindrical optical waveguide 1 having a reflective inner wall and apertures 2 therein via which a photoemitter 3 and a photodetector 4 associated with each module can optically communicate with other photoemitters and photodetectors associated with other modules.
