  • Patent number: 10323825
    Abstract: A first reflection light guide includes an axial part as an end part, and a main body part, has a linear rod-like shape including the end part and the main body part, and allows light from a first reflection light source to enter the end part and to be emitted from the main body part. The end part of the first reflection light guide is narrower than the main body part, and includes a contact surface in contact with a cap. The cap includes a light source side opening. A first reflection light source is arranged at the light source side opening. The first reflection light source faces the end part.

  • Patent number: 10318853
    Abstract: An antenna module includes a magnetic body portion made of a ferrite sheet, a first pattern portion directly formed on one surface of the magnetic body portion and including a first pattern and a first plating layer stacked thereon, a second pattern portion directly formed on the other surface of the magnetic body portion and including a second pattern and a second plating layer stacked thereon, and a via hole formed through the magnetic body portion and having a connection member for electrically connecting the first pattern portion and the second pattern portion formed therein. The first pattern portion and the second pattern portion are formed directly on the magnetic body portion without a substrate portion. Thus, the thickness is reduced by the amount of the thickness of the substrate portion.

  • Patent number: 7712666
    Abstract: An automatic automatically-triggered digital video-imaging based code symbol reading system for use in point of sale (POS) environments, employing an adaptive control process involving the real-time analysis of the exposure quality of captured frames of digital image data and the real-time reconfiguration of system control parameters (SCPs) based on the results of such exposure quality analysis. By virtue of the present invention, the system enables the reliable reading of code symbols graphically represented in digital images, under demanding point-of-sale lighting conditions and other challenging environments.

  • Patent number: 6540139
    Abstract: A scan data signal processor is disclosed for use with a laser scanning system having a plurality of different focal zones within which a laser scanning beam is scanned across one or more bar code symbols and an analog scan data signal is automatically produced. The scan data signal processor comprises a first and second derivative signal generation stages, a second-derivative zero-crossing detector, a real-time bar code element detector, and a control logic circuitry. The first derivative signal generation stage derives a first derivative signal from the analog scan data signal. The second derivative signal generation stage derives a second derivative signal from the first derivative signal. The second-derivative zero-crossing detector detects zero crossings in said second derivative signal. The real-time bar code element detector automatically detects the presence and absence of bar code element data encoded within said analog scan data signal.
