Abstract: A method to be used within a document image capture device, such
as a document scanner (10) of detecting and measuring the document skew (25)
while the document is still entering the imaging area and then effecting a rotation
of the camera to accommodate the document skew so that the resulting image
taken is not skewed. This can be accomplished by one of several methods, such as
rotating the entire camera, rotating only the sensor element, or rotating another
element in the optical path such as a prism. Use of the methods incorporated in
this invention does not require the document motion to be stopped to measure and
accommodate skew or to take the image.

Abstract: A touch panel employing SAW excitation and receiving elements arranged diagonally across a rectangular substrate. Surface acoustic waves are propagated in a lower-left oblique direction and a lower-right oblique direction from an excitation element (2) located on the upper side of a non-piezoelectric substrate (1) and then received by receiving elements (3) located on the left side and the right side, while surface acoustic waves are propagated in an upper-left oblique direction and an upper-right oblique direction from an excitation element (2) located on the lower side of the non-piezoelectric substrate (1) and then received by the receiving elements (3) located on the left side and the right side. Based on the received results at the two receiving elements (3), a position of an object in contact with the non-piezoelectric substrate (1) is detected. The sensitivity in a region near the diagonal, which is influenced largely by propagation loss of the surface acoustic waves, is improved by increasing the widths of the electrode fingers (8) of the excitation elements (2) and/or the receiving elements (3), the number of pairs of the electrode fingers (8), the aperture width of comb-like electrodes (5), the position of terminals (9) for connection to an external device, or by providing additional elements (2a, 3a) disposed at the corners of the substrate (1), according to an increase in the propagation distances of the surface acoustic waves, i.e., toward the diagonal of the panel.

Abstract: A label reader system of the invention takes an image of a label and recognizes characters on the label according to a format definition without being significantly affected by a variation in distance between an imaging unit and the label. The label reader system has an imaging unit that is fixed to an arm and takes an image of an address label pasted on the top face of a parcel downward in a vertical direction. The image of the address label includes an image of a guide of known dimensions located on the top face of the parcel. The procedure of the invention computes an actual degree of fineness, which varies with a variation in height of the parcel, based on the image of the guide and regulates a zoom magnification of a lens in the imaging unit to make the computed actual degree of fineness substantially equal to a specified degree of fineness in a format definition, which is used to recognize characters on the address label. This arrangement effectively compensates for a difference between the actual degree of fineness and the specified degree of fineness under the condition of the varying height of the parcel, thus enhancing the accuracy of character recognition on the address label.

Abstract: A packet data transmission system is used to link a number of remote hand-held data-gathering units such as bar code readers to a central computer which maintains a database management system. Data packets are sent from the remote units by an RF link to intermediate base stations, then sent by the base stations to the central computer by a serial link. Direct sequence spread spectrum modulation is used for the RF link. The remote hand-held units initiate an exchange using RF transmission to and from the base stations, receiving only during a rigid time window following a transmission from the remote unit. The base stations cannot initiate communication to the remote units, but instead send data to the remote units only as part of the exchange.
