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.

7/515033

Inventors:

Robert A. Doran - East Setauket NY

Assignee:

Allied-Signal Inc. - Morris Township, Morris County NJ

International Classification:

G01C 1966

US Classification:

356350

Abstract:

In a ring laser gyroscope a laser beam is directed to travel in a closed path, however, temperature variations can cause a change in the path length which, if not corrected, can result in drift and scale factor errors. The present invention controls the length of this closed path or cavity by applying a force to the gyro normal to the lasing plane. This is accomplished by inserting a bolt through the longitude axis of the gyro and by utilizing the bolt to apply or to relieve force therefore maintaining the cavity length constant over a given temperature range.

International Classification:

H02J 700

US Classification:

320114

Abstract:

A battery-powered device, especially a hand-held, data collection terminal having an electro-optical scanner, includes a main housing, a battery pack separate from the main housing, and a latching mechanism for latching the battery pack in its assembled position on the main housing in which it is partially received in a correspondingly configured receiving recess of the main housing. Electrical circuitry in the device is shut down prior to battery pack removal. During idle periods, the device is supported on a cradle, with a back or handle portion of the device being received in a main compartment of the cradle. The cradle also includes an auxiliary compartment for receiving the battery pack for recharging the same. A hook-shaped projection of the cradle engages behind a detaining wall of the housing and is held in position by a shuttle that, in its locking position, is interposed between such projection and an unyieldable portion of the housing and is locked in place by a padlock passing through aligned openings of the shuttle and of the cradle.
