Patent EP-0481606-A2 (EP)
Inventor: REGER PHILIP R
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 1991-09-19
Abstract: The present invention provides an improved portable data scanner apparatus 1 which is suitable for long periods of uninterrupted handheld use for non-contact scanning of data over a range of focal distances under severe environmental conditions. The apparatus is a self-contained unit with no external cabling and operates to scan barcodes under adverse scanning conditions such as bright sunlight, in the presence of glare and reflections, and is capable of scanning a barcode through glass, plastic and other clear materials. The scanner 1 incorporates a keyboard 33 and display 35 which permit the operator to control the aiming period and the decoding process, and uses a laser light source 14 to project a visible beam which is used to aim the apparatus 1 and to scan barcodes. Reflected light of wavelengths other than that of the laser light source is filtered out by an optical bandpass filter 128. A reflective sensor 17 converts the light to an electrical signal which is then filtered to remove noise and decoded. The laser light source beam is focused to provide a spot size substantially the same size as the smallest barcode feature to significantly reduce received signal noise. Further, a scanning algorithm which searches for start and stop characters is employed to decode barcode data. Thus, barcodes printed on reflective materials such as metal, fiberglass and the like can be successfully scanned and decoded.

Abstract: An apparatus for synchronously controlling the actual operation of a machine using one or more motors, such as servo motors, by simulating in program form a combination of selectable machine mechanisms, including drivers, connecting shafts, clutches, gears and cams. Each such machine mechanism is represented virtually, preferably as a software module that contains information uniquely identifying the module, operation information that defines the generation of position information and connection information that defines other modules to which connection is made. The software modules comprise drive modules for generating position information, transmission modules for simulating the transmission mechanisms and output modules for outputting motor commands. The combinations of such modules for control of a motor may be considered as a block and a plurality of blocks can define the control of a machine that requires a plurality of motors for operation. 
     The modules may be interactively defined by an operator with the use of a display system that presents an operator with a standard module menu, using graphics or icons that identify each module function, and permits the operator to select desired modules, define parameters and input values as may be appropriate. The display system also permits the modules to be combined in desired arrangements of one or more blocks, and connection information among modules to be thereby established. The assembled blocks, based on the input parameters and values, the generated connection information and the operational expressions for each included module, form the basis for the automatic generation of a program that emulates the machine's operation. The program may be used as the basis for control of the one or more servo motors that combine to establish the machine's operation.

Abstract: Apparatus for encoding an image signal which is capable of improving the quality of a reproduced image with respect to not only a general image in which electric power is concentrated in low-region coefficients but also an image where the electric power is concentrated in a high region. The apparatus comprises a blocking device in which a rectangular area in an image is detected from a digital image signal as a pixel block, and is subjected to an orthogonal transform by a converter to obtain a transformed coefficient. In addition, an activity calculator calculates the variance of the image within the block, and electric power to be preserved during encoding is determined by a power-preservation-rate determining device on the basis of the variance determined. An optimum mask is selected by a mask selector on the basis of a transformed coefficient from the converter and a power preservation rate from the power-preservation-rate determining device, and the selection of the transformed coefficient is performed by a coefficient selector by means of this mask. The transformed coefficient after being selected is quantized by a quantizer, is encoded to be outputted through a transmission line.

Abstract: A defibrillator/monitor (10) is disclosed employing a motion detection circuit 18 and control and processing circuit (20) that cooperatively detect motion at a patient-electrode interface. In that regard, an impedance measurement circuit (24) produces an output indicative of the impedance of the interface. This output is then processed by a number of filter elements before being analyzed by a motion detection routine (52). The motion detection routine includes subroutines (62 and 64) that compare the impedance against distinct upper and lower limits and then monitor the time at which the signal is above and below the limits. Basically, motion is indicated if the signal undergoes relatively large variations for a short time, or smaller variations for a longer time. A third motion clear subroutine (66) is used to determine when motion is no longer detected. Finally, a similar scheme (102) is employed to quickly restore the various filter elements after saturation.

Abstract: The scroll bar (30) is associated with a window or viewport on a computer display as part of a computer system, and contains a slider to indicate relative positioning in the window of a document, such as a data file, image file, audio file, text file, or spreadsheet. The current position (31) of a user in a document, as referenced by a cursor or other marking device, is monitored by the computer system. After a first predetermined sampling period has elapsed, a first region (35 b) containing upper (38) and lower (39) boundaries of a portion of the document that envelop the current position in the document is created in a portion of memory called "scroll data". The initial size of the region is determined by a predetermined region growth rate. After a second sampling period has elapsed, the computer system again checks the current position in the document. If the current position is still within the first region, the size of the first region is expanded (35 c) by the amount of the predetermined region growth rate. This expansion continues incrementally for as long as the current position remains in the first region, up until a maximum region size is reached. When a user moves the slider of a scroll bar, the computer system checks scroll data to see if the new current position in the document is within the first region. If so, the computer system snaps back the slider to the midpoint of the first region and displays the corresponding portion of the document. The longer the current position is in the first region, the larger the first region becomes, and the easier the midpoint of this first region is for the user to find through course positioning of the scroll bar slider.

Abstract: Phosphorus is ion-implanted over a whole surface so as to prevent a leakage current which would occur when a margin between the N⁺ diffused layer (5) and the contact holes is reduced. By using only one lithography process, boron is ion-implanted into the P⁺ diffused layer (6) with the dose larger than the dose of the phosphorus ion-implantation, so that even if a margin between the P⁺ diffused layer (6) and the contact holes is reduced, a leakage current will never flow, and a small contact resistance is realized. A contact between a wiring conductor having a Ti-N layer and N⁺ and P⁺ diffused layers can be formed with a reduced number of steps and with a reduced ion implantation dose.

Abstract: Displacement measuring apparatus for measuring the displacement and movement of an object includes a sensor having an operative surface and circuitry for producing an electrical output signal whose value is dependent upon the area of the operative surface covered by a force-field producing member. The apparatus also includes a movable, force-field producing member which selectively covers and uncovers at least a portion of the operative surface as the object whose displacement is to be measured is moved. The value of the electrical output signal produced by the circuitry is thus dependent upon the area of the operative surface covered by the member and thus by the position and movement of the object.

Abstract: A system for providing items of value, charging the items to a smart card, and for recharging the smart card. The system includes a station (30) for providing the items of value, which may be postal services, and debiting the cost of the items to a smart card; the smart card being charged with funds equivalent data. The station also communicates with a Data Center (10) for recharging the smart card. Users of the system communicate with the data center to request recharge of a particular smart card and in response to an authorization request the data center generates an encrypted authorization message which includes an identification number, the amount of recharge requested, and control data, which preferably includes a control sum formed by adding the amounts stored in a descending register, which stores the amount available on the smart card, and an ascending register which stores the total of the amounts by which the card has been charged since initialization. Thus, the authorization message may be used only once. From time-to-time the Data Center (10) transmits authorization messages to each station (30) on the system. When a particular smart card for which an authorization message has been received is connected to a station (30), the smart card compares the control data with the control data stored on the smart card and if there is a match updates the funds equivalent data in the descending register of the smart card. To provide security against transmission of false authorization messages to a station, the authorization messages are encrypted, preferably using a public key encryption system.
