Abstract: An optical reading device of a scanning apparatus includes two light sources and a movable lens. The first light source emits a first light when the optical reading device is operated in a flatbed scanning mode. The second light source emits a second light when the optical reading device is operated in a sheetfed scanning mode. The movable mirror is selected to allow for passing the first light without being obstructed by the movable mirror in the flatbed scanning mode or allow for reflecting the second light coming from the second mirror in the sheetfed scanning mode. Due to the special design, the overall volume of the scanning module is reduced.

Abstract: Within a synchronization stage, m candidates are selected according to secondary correlation results that are generated in a standard code group and slot number identification process. Each candidate contains a respective code group number and slot number, and m is greater than 1. A primary scrambling code correlation process is performed with each candidate to obtain a corresponding primary correlation result for an associated primary scrambling code number. The primary scrambling code correlation process for each candidate is performed over x slots, where x is determined by the ratio f/m, f being the number of slots per frame, and x being less than f. Within integer constraints, x is ideally f/m. The respective code group number, slot number and primary scrambling code number of the candidate having the greatest primary correlation result are then selected as a synchronization result.
