Patent number: 6853293Abstract: A portable data input or computer system includes an input/output device such as a keyboard and a display, another data input device such as an optical bar code scanner, and a data processor module. To scan bar code type indicia, the operator points the scanner at the bar code and triggers the scanner to read the indicia. All the system components are distributed on an operator's body and together form a personal area system (PAS). Components may include a scanner or imager, a wrist unit, a headpiece including an eyepiece display, speaker and a microphone. Components within a particular PAS communicate with each other over a personal area network (PAN). Individual PASs may be combined into a network of PASs called a PAS cluster. PASs in a particular PAS cluster can communicate with each other over another wireless communication channel. Individual PAS can gain access to a Local Area Network (LAN) and/or a Wide Area Network (WAN) via an access point.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2002Date of Patent: February 8, 2005Assignee: Symbol Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jerome Swartz, Michael Slutsky, Simon Bard, Stephen J. Shellhammer, James Connelly, Margaret L. Hetfield, Jacob Sharony, Michael A. Ramputi, Paul R. Poloniewicz, Joseph Katz, Robert E. Beach

Patent number: 6348773Abstract: A scanner determines whether a target is a bar code symbol and, if so, whether that symbol is one-dimensional or two-dimensional. For two-dimensional symbols, the scanner aligns a scanning pattern with the symbol and expands the scanning pattern to reach only to the top and bottom edges of the symbol, not beyond. The scanner also has a microprocessor-control scanning engine that uses a coil to drive a scanning element and pick up feed back signals from the scanning element. A pulse-width-modulated regulator also provides fast and efficient operation for driving the coil. The scanning engine can also be designed to generate a pattern that precesses across the target, and a powerful interface to the scanning engine allows decoding and control logic to work efficiently with and independently of the scan engine.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1997Date of Patent: February 19, 2002Assignee: Symbol Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Paul Dvorkis, Edward Barkan, Harold Charych, James Giebel, Stephen Osterweil, Sundeep Kumar, John Barile, Paul R.
