  • Device and method for the acquisition and automatic processing of data obtained from optical codes
    Patent number: 6512218
    Abstract: The device for the acquisition and automatic processing of data obtained from optical codes comprises a CMOS optical sensor; an analog processing unit connected to the optical sensor; an analog/digital conversion unit connected to the analog processing unity; a logic control unit connected to the CMOS optical sensor, the analog processing unit and the analog/digital conversion unit; and a data-processing unit connected to the logic control unit and the analog/digital conversion unit. The CMOS optical sensor and at least one of the analog processing, analog/digital conversion, logic control and data processing units are integrated in a single chip. The data processing unit processes the digital signals corresponding to the image acquired by the CMOS sensor and extracts the optically coded data.

  • Coded information reader comprising a device for controlling a plurality of distinct actions
    Patent number: 6478226
    Abstract: A coded information reader (101) including a device (1) for controlling a plurality of distinct actions, as well as a method for controlling said coded information reader (101) are described. The coded information reader (101) includes a control device (1) comprising a plurality of actuators (2, 3) arranged in sequence downstream of a driving device (4) mobile between an inactive position (A) and a plurality of positions (B, C) active, respectively, on the status of said plurality of actuators (2, 3), said actuators (2, 3) being driven by said driving device (4). Advantageously, the coded information reader (101) of the invention has small size, reliability and flexibility of use.
