US Classification:

23546243, 235454, 23546236, 23546245, 23547201

Abstract:

A bar code reader has an integrated scanning component module which is mountable on a printed circuit board. In one embodiment, the module may include the digitizer/decoder electronics, enabling the module to be used with a generic PCB. In some embodiments, the module includes a high speed optical scanning arrangement having an optical element which extends longitudinally of a flexible member, secured at one end. In other embodiments, the invention extends to a hand-held optical scanner having a scanning assembly, detector and data transmission coupling all mounted to a common printed circuit board, preferably located within a manually-graspable handle. In yet a further embodiment, an abuse-detector or accelerometer is provided for determining when the device is exposed to deceleration above a predetermined limit, and optionally for automatically shutting down applications programs and for providing a black-box-record of a short time frame before the device was exposed to an unexpected shock. Preferably, the reader is shock protected by a thermo-plastic elastomer housing section. An outgoing light beam is directed at a non-orthogonal angle relative to the PCB.

International Classification:

G08B 21/00

US Classification:

340608000, 340616000

Abstract:

A device for the early detection and advanced warning that waste is backing up in a waste pipe line comprising: a tubular body member having an open lower portion, a central hollow core extending axially there through, and a closed upper portion. The open lower portion is dimensionally sized and configured to be removably yet sealably fitted and fixed into the waste pipe line. The closed upper portion is provided with a vent. The device further comprises switching means fixedly secured on the upper closed portion and extending from the upper closed portion into the hollow core so that it is surrounded by and housed within the tubular body member; alarm issuing means installed in a remote location distanced away from the installation location of the tubular body but positioned for easy access and viewing; and communications means connecting the switching means to the alarm issuing means so that when the switching means responds to the rise of liquid waste inside the tubular body member as a result of waste backup in the waste pipe line, it closes a circuit and sends a signal along the communication means to the alarm issuing means, to generate an alarm and provide a window of opportunity to clear up the waste back up.

US Classification:

2354622, 23546201

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for defining the illumination field of view of a barcode reader. The method includes (1) generating an illumination with an illumination source; (2) directing the illumination with an illumination lens to pass through an aperture to generate an illumination pattern directed toward a target object and to define an illumination field of view with the aperture; and (3) focusing light reflected from the target object onto a photosensor array with an imaging lens in an imaging system.
