View page
US Patent:
6412700, Jul 2, 2002
Filed:
Mar 22, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/273825
Inventors:
Robert Blake - Woodbury Heights NJ
Carl H. Knowles - Moorestown NJ
George B. Rockstein - Audubon NJ
David M. Wilz - Sewell NJ
Assignee:
Metrologic Instruments, Inc. - Blackwood NJ
International Classification:
G06K 710
US Classification:
23547201, 23546201
Abstract:
The invention is a method and apparatus for automatically reading bar code symbols. One aspect of the present invention concerns a method of reading bar code symbols using an automatic hand-holdable bar code symbol reading device. In general, the automatic bar code symbol reading device comprises a hand-holdable housing containing operative elements which provide an object detection field and a scan field each defined external to the housing. The method involves automatically detecting the presence of an object within the object detection field by sensing object sensing energy reflected off the object. In a preferred embodiment, the object sensing energy is IR radiation produced from an object sensing energy source disposed within the housing. In automatic response to the detection of the object within the object detection field, the hand-holdable device detects the presence of a bar code within the scan field using a laser beam produced within the housing. Then, in automatic response to the detection of a bar code in the scan field, the automatic hand-holdable bar code symbol reading device reads the detected bar code in the scan field by producing scan data signals from the detected bar code and thereafter collecting and analyzing the same.

US Patent:
6460769, Oct 8, 2002
Filed:
Feb 16, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/785410
Inventors:
Carl H. Knowles - Moorestown NJ
George B. Rockstein - Audubon NJ
Stephen J. Colavito - Brookhaven PA
Gennady Germaine - Cherry Hill NJ
Assignee:
Metrologic Instruments, Inc. - Blackwood NJ
International Classification:
G06K 710
US Classification:
23547201, 23546246, 235383
Abstract:
A code symbol reading device includes a portable housing that contains a light source. Light from the light source is projected into a scan field external to the housing and onto a code symbol on an object located within the scan field. The light reflected off the code symbol is detected within the housing to produce scan data that is indicative of the detected light intensity. The scan data is processed to detect and decode the code symbol and to produce symbol character data that are representative of the decoded code symbol. A data packet utilizing the symbol character data is synthesized and modulated onto a carrier signal that is transmitted to a base unit where the carrier signal is demodulated and the data packet recovered. The received data packet is analyzed to recover the symbol character data, and an acknowledgment signal is produced to acknowledge the receipt of the symbol character data at the base unit.

Appl. No.:
09/726544
Inventors:
Carl H. Knowles - Moorestown NJ
George B. Rockstein - Audubon NJ
Charles A. Naylor - Sewell NJ
Assignee:
Metrologic Instruments, Inc. - Blackwood NJ
International Classification:
G06K 710
US Classification:
23546231, 23546222, 23546245
Abstract:
Disclosed is a fully automatic bar code symbol reading system having an hand-supportable laser bar code reading device which can be used in either an automatic hands-on mode of operation, or in an automatic hands-free mode of operation. The system includes a scanner support frame for supporting the hand-supportable device in a user-selected mounting position, and permits complete gripping of its handle portion prior to its use in the hands-on mode of operation. In general, the hand-supportable bar code reading device has long-range and short-range modes of object detection, bar code presence detection and bar code symbol reading. In the illustrative embodiment, the long-range mode is automatically selected when the hand-supportable bar code reading device is placed within the scanner support stand during the automatic hands-free mode of operation. Whenever the hand-supportable bar code reading device is picked up from the support stand and used in its hands-on mode of operation, the short-range mode is automatically selected to provide CCD-like scanner emulation. When used in either mode of operation, the automatic bar code reading device is capable of reading, in a consecutive manner, one or more bar code symbols on an object, while preventing multiple reading of the same bar code symbol due to dwelling of the laser scanning beam upon the bar code symbol.

US Patent:
6604684, Aug 12, 2003
Filed:
May 18, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/861150
Inventors:
Mark C. Schmidt - Williamstown NJ
Carl H. Knowles - Moorestown NJ
George B. Rockstein - Audubon NJ
Assignee:
Metrologic Instruments Inc. - Blackwood NJ
International Classification:
G06K 710
US Classification:
23546232, 23546214, 23546233
Abstract:
An automatic bar code symbol reading system having an automatic laser scanning device which can be used at a point-of-sale (POS) station as either a portable hand-supported laser scanner when operated in its automatic hands-on mode of operation, or as a stationary laser projection scanner when operated in its automatic hands-free mode of operation. The bar code symbol reading system provides a collimated scanning pattern projected from the hand-supportable device about a projection axis. The collimated scanning pattern intersects the projection axis within a narrowly confined scanning volume so that bar code symbols disposed within this scanning volume can be read omnidirectionally, while inadvertent scanning of bar code symbols outside of the scanning volume is prevented.

Automatically-Activated Hand-Supportable Laser Scanning Bar Code Symbol Reading System With Data Transmission Activation Switch

US Patent:
6607133, Aug 19, 2003
Filed:
May 23, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/863863
Inventors:
George Rockstein - Audubon NJ
Robert E. Blake - Woodbury Heights NJ
Mark Schmidt - Williamstown NJ
Garrett Russell - Wilmington DE
C. Harry Knowles - Moorestown NJ
Assignee:
Metrologic Instruments, Inc. - Blackwood NJ
International Classification:
G06K 710
US Classification:
23546245, 23546248, 23546225
Abstract:
Disclosed is an automatically-activated code symbol reading system comprising a code symbol reading mechanism contained within a hand-supportable housing having a manually-actuatable data transmission switch. The symbol reading mechanism automatically generates a visible laser scanning pattern for repeatedly reading one or more code symbols on an object during each symbol reading cycle, and automatically generating a new symbol character data string in response to each read symbol. The user visually aligns the laser scanning pattern with a code symbol on an object. Each time the scanned symbol is successfully read in a cyclical manner, a new symbol character string is produced, and an indicator light is actively driven. During the symbol reading cycle, the user actuates the data transmission switch producing a data transmission control activation signal and enabling a subsequently produced symbol character data string to be automatically selected and transmitted to the host system.

Assignee:
Metrologic Instruments, Inc. - Blackwood NJ
International Classification:
G06N 710
US Classification:
23547201, 23546201
Abstract:
A fully automated package identification and measuring system, in which an omni-directional holographic scanning tunnel is used to read bar codes on packages entering the tunnel, while a package dimensioning subsystem is used to capture information about the package prior to entry into the tunnel. Mathematical models are created on a real-time basis for the geometry of the package and the position of the laser scanning beam used to read the bar code symbol thereon. The mathematical models are analyzed to determine if collected and queued package identification data is spatially and/or temporally correlated with package measurement data using vector-based ray-tracing methods, homogeneous transformations, and object-oriented decision logic so as to enable simultaneous tracking of multiple packages being transported through the scanning tunnel.
