Patent number: 9521331Abstract: A process is disclosed for scanning a graphic medium scan target. An image of the scan target is captured over an exposure duration. An illumination of the scan target is actuated over an illumination duration brief relative to the exposure duration. The illumination of the scan target is deactivated upon an expiration of the illumination duration. The capturing the image step continues over a significant portion of the exposure duration persisting after the expiration of the illumination duration.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2015Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: Hand Held Products, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Bessettes, Patrice Thebault

Patent number: 9292969Abstract: Systems and methods of determining the volume and dimensions of a three-dimensional object using a dimensioning system are provided. The dimensioning system can include an image sensor, a non-transitory, machine-readable, storage, and a processor. The dimensioning system can select and fit a three-dimensional packaging wireframe model about each three-dimensional object located within a first point of view of the image sensor. Calibration is performed to calibrate between image sensors of the dimensioning system and those of the imaging system. Calibration may occur pre-run time, in a calibration mode or period. Calibration may occur during a routine. Calibration may be automatically triggered on detection of a coupling between the dimensioning and the imaging systems.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2015Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Intermec IP Corp.Inventors: Franck Laffargue, Patrice Thebault, Jeffrey Mark Hunt

Patent number: 8162222Abstract: One embodiment of a method for identifying a codeword as an erasure in a Quick Response code (QR code) captured by a bar code reader includes, identifying the scrambling mask used for encoding the data in the QR code. A location of the codeword in the QR code corresponds with a portion of the scrambling mask. The codeword comprises multiple codeword bits and the portion of the scrambling mask comprises multiple mask bits. The method further includes, generating an unscrambled codeword by performing a logical operation between each of the multiple codeword bits and each of the multiple mask bits, generating a reference matrix by applying the scrambling mask to a uniform matrix, and/or comparing the unscrambled codeword with the reference matrix to determine whether the codeword is the erasure.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2009Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Intermec IP Corp.Inventors: Mostafa Krichi, Patrice Thebault

Patent number: 7950581Abstract: A system and method for acquiring a machine-readable symbol are disclosed. Briefly described, one embodiment comprises receiving at least one scan line of a codeword row, determining a number of codewords of the codeword row, and collapsing an initialization symbol matrix into a partially-collapsed machine-readable symbol matrix based upon the determined number of codewords. Once the number of rows in the machine-readable symbol are determined, the partially collapsed machine-readable symbol matrix is further collapsed to the determined number of codeword rows.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2007Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Intermec IP Corp.Inventors: Patrice Thebault, Serge Thuries, Jean-Michel Puech, Jean-Luc Basso, H.

Publication number: 20040165242Abstract: An integrated imaging scanning system is disclosed. The said system is comprising a substrate, a light emitting element connected to the substrate for producing a beam of light directed to an insignia, a light directing element positioned relatively the light emitting element for redirecting the beam of light aimed at the insignia, a diffraction grating element to remove the speckle phenomena from the source of light, and a compound optical element for shaping the beam of light directed to the insignia.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2002Publication date: August 26, 2004Inventors: Jean-Louis Massieu, Jean-Luc Basso, Christophe Duthil, Khalid El Akel, Jean-Michael Puech, Jean-Pierre Stang, Patrice Thebault

Publication number: 20020066787Abstract: A hand held scanner with a single multi-conductor cable supplying both power and data conductors. When connected, the cable supplies power for operation and or charges a local power supply in the scanner. Data conductors in the cable transmit scanned data to a host processor allowing continuous operation even in noisy RF environments that may inhibit RF communication between RF transmitters which may be supplied in the scanner and host processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2001Publication date: June 6, 2002Inventors: Cedric Mollon, Christophe Duthil, Patrice Thebault, Jean-Louis Massieu
