Patent number: 8240569Abstract: An imaging engine in accordance with the present disclosure includes a first image sensor section, a second image sensor section, an optics barrel, a first lens carriage that includes at least one lens, and a second lens carriage that includes at least one lens. The first lens carriage is positioned within the optics barrel so that there is a first optical path through the lens(es) in the first lens carriage to the first image sensor section. Similarly, the second lens carriage is positioned within the optics barrel so that there is a second optical path through the lens(es) in the second lens carriage to the second image sensor section. Advantageously, the position of the first lens carriage within the optics barrel and the position of the second lens carriage within the optics barrel are both independently adjustable.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2010Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: The Code CorporationInventors: Ryan Hyde, Frank Clegg, Randy Nate

Patent number: 7419098Abstract: A graphical code reading apparatus is disclosed. The graphical code reading apparatus is able to read graphical codes on reflective and curved reflective surfaces. The graphical code reading apparatus includes a graphical code reader having an illumination source such as LEDs and a detector such as an imager. The graphical code reading apparatus also includes a light scattering chamber that is coupled to the graphical code reader. The light scattering chamber may have two openings, namely a first opening for receiving the graphical code reader and a second opening for placement adjacent the graphical code. The light scattering chamber may be tapered from the first opening toward the second opening. An interior surface of the light scattering chamber is capable of scattering light because it may be an irregularly uneven reflective surface. The light impinges the reflective surface at multiple angles of incidence upon exiting the light scattering chamber.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2004Date of Patent: September 2, 2008Assignee: The Code CorporationInventors: Ryan Hyde, George Powell
