Abstract: A laser light beam scanning device for reading coded information includes an emission source of a laser light beam, an optical element for scanning the laser light beam on a support containing coded information, an optical element for collecting the light coming from the support and photodetector means sensitive to the light collected by the collecting optical element so as to generate a representative signal of the information contained in the support. The collecting optical element is spatially distinct from, and integrally oscillating with, the scanning optical element and includes at least one transmissive input surface of the light coming from the support. In particular, the scanning optical element and the collecting optical element are part of a single scanning and light collecting optical element.

Abstract: A method for charging batteries, in particular lithium batteries, includes the steps of connecting a battery electrically to a battery-charging apparatus, dispensing electric power to the battery by means of the battery-charging apparatus, and regulating the electric current and voltage dispensed by the battery-charging apparatus to the battery. The regulating step includes the steps of detecting the voltage at the terminals of the battery and regulating the voltage dispensed by the battery-charging apparatus, during a phase of constant-voltage battery charging, depending on the voltage detected at the terminals of the battery, to compensate for parasitic voltage drops existing between the battery (1) and the battery-charging apparatus.
