US Patent:

6974084, Dec 13, 2005
Filed:

May 6, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/431070
Inventors:

Mohan LeeLaRama Bobba - Eugene OR, US
Jorge Luis Acosta - Eugene OR, US
Timothy Joseph Eusterman - The Woodlands TX, US
James W. Ring - Blodgett OR, US
Alexander McQueen - Eugene OR, US
Assignee:

PSC Scanning, Inc. - Eugene OR
International Classification:

G06K007/10
US Classification:

23546239, 23546236
Abstract:

An optical system and method for data reading. The preferred system is directed to a scanner which includes a laser diode and a beam splitter for generating first optical beam and a second optical beam, the first optical beam being directed toward one side of a scanning optical element such as a rotating polygon mirror and to a first mirror array, the second optical beam is being simultaneously directed toward a second optical element such as another side of the rotating polygon mirror and then to a second and a third mirror array. The first mirror array is configured to generate a scan pattern through a vertical window and the second and third mirror arrays are configured to generate scan patterns passing through a horizontal window. In combination, the three mirror arrays generate three sets of scan lines so as to scan the bottom and all lateral sides of an object being passed through the scan volume.

US Classification:

23546238, 23546237, 23546232
Abstract:

An optical system and method for data reading. A preferred system is directed to a scanner which includes a laser diode and a beam splitter for generating first optical beam and a second optical beam, the first optical beam being directed toward one side of a scanning optical element such as a rotating polygon mirror and to a first mirror array, the second optical beam being simultaneously directed toward a second optical element such as another side of the rotating polygon mirror and then to a second and a third mirror array. The first mirror array is configured to generate a scan pattern through a vertical window and the second and third mirror arrays are configured to generate scan patterns passing through a horizontal window. In combination, the three mirror arrays generate three sets of scan lines so as to scan five sides of a six-sided item (e. g. , the bottom and all lateral sides of an object) being passed through the scan volume.

Filed:

Jul 10, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/617593
Inventors:

Arthur McNair - Pittsburgh PA, US
Lawrence Sweeney - Bethel Park PA, US
Timothy Eusterman - The Woodlands TX, US
International Classification:

G10L015/00
US Classification:

704275000
Abstract:

Dialog manager and methods for integrating multi-modal data capture device inputs or speech recognition inputs with speech output capabilities. A work flow description is extracted from objects in a graphical user interface and a multi-modal user interface is defined. A dialog engine synchronizes the flow of information, in accordance with the work flow description, between input/output devices and an application. The prompts for inputting data, which are output via a plurality of peripheral devices, are controlled in an intelligent manner by the dialog engine based on the input state of the peripheral devices. Functionality such as barge-in, prompt-holdoff, priority prompts, and talk-ahead is provided.

Filed:

Oct 11, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/247291
Inventors:

James Logan - Pittsburgh PA, US
Jack LeVan - Barrington Hills IL, US
Roger Byford - Apollo PA, US
Timothy Eusterman - The Woodlands TX, US
Lawrence Sweeney - Bethel Park PA, US
International Classification:

G09G 5/00
US Classification:

345156000
Abstract:

A device is comprised of processing circuitry operable for providing a speech interface to facilitate a speech dialog with a user or generates commands for a user. An RFID reader, operably coupled with the processing circuitry, is operable for reading data from an RFID tag. In one aspect, the reading occurs in the context of a speech dialog. In another aspect, the data is used to generate speech commands. In another aspect, information is stored to an RFID tag during the speech dialog.
