  • Sensor control of an aiming beam of an automatic data collection device, such as a barcode reader
    Patent number: 7490776
    Abstract: An automatic data collection device is provided with an aiming beam that can be deactivated prior to reading a target machine-readable symbol. The data collection device includes a sensor that generates one or more signals associated with light received by the sensor. The sensor signal(s) is used to adjust the illumination levels for the sensor and/or the gain of the sensor, and are also used to deactivate the aiming beam prior to reading the target machine-readable symbol or to perform other illumination adjustment.

  • Optoelectronic device, process and article for acquiring machine-readable symbols, such as bar codes
    Publication number: 20060231629
    Abstract: A device and a process for acquiring symbols by interleaving data samples in a plurality of data sets gathered during sampling of returns from a plurality of scanning passes. In one embodiment, the sampling frequency is proportional to the scanning frequency by a quotient of twice the number of samples in a representation and an integer such that the quotient is an irreducible fraction.
