Spectral Scanner Employing Light Paths Of Multiple Wavelengths For Scanning Objects, Such As Bar Code Symbols, And Associated Method

View page
US Patent:
6345765, Feb 12, 2002
Filed:
Jun 30, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/608999
Inventors:
Christopher A. Wiklof - Everett WA
Assignee:
Intermec IP Corp. - Woodland Hills CA
International Classification:
G06K 710
US Classification:
23547201, 235454, 235469
Abstract:
An optical system, such as a bar code scanner, illuminates an image with a multi-wavelength device. Under a first embodiment, a tunable laser is optically coupled with a prism or other wavelength separation device. As the laser beam wavelength varies, the transmission path through the prism changes, resulting in a scanning of the beam across an image. A photodetector captures light reflected from the image and sends it to a microprocessor for decoding. Under another embodiment, a broad band light source transmits light through a prism, thus shining a ârainbowâ on the image. A spectrometer measures reflected light as a function of wavelength and sends the resultant signal to a microprocessor for decoding. Neither embodiment relies on moving parts to scan the image.

Hand-Held, Dual-Mode Asset Tracking Reader With Light-Activated Switch

View page
US Patent:
6357662, Mar 19, 2002
Filed:
Feb 9, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/247165
Inventors:
Patrick L. Helton - Marysville WA
Christopher A. Wiklof - Everett WA
Assignee:
Intermec IP Corp. - Beverly Hills CA
International Classification:
G06K 710
US Classification:
23546245, 23547201, 235454, 23546248
Abstract:
One or more reading devices are disposed within a hollow case sized and shaped to be held in a users hand. A supplemental switch is also disposed in the case and is manually activatable by a user, such as by the users thumb. Logic disposed in the case is connected to a reading device and the supplemental switch for taking a first action when the switch is activated and taking a second action when it is not. The first and second actions may comprise first and second modes of operation of the reading device. When two or more reading devices are provided, the first and second actions may include reading operations of the first and second devices, respectively. Types of reading devices that may be incorporated into embodiments of the invention include bar code scanners, RF ID interrogators, and smart card scanners.

Method And Apparatus For Associating Data With A Wireless Memory Device

View page
US Patent:
6371375, Apr 16, 2002
Filed:
Feb 12, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/249359
Inventors:
H. Sprague Ackley - Seattle WA
Christopher A. Wiklof - Everett WA
Assignee:
Intermec IP Corp. - Beverly Hills CA
International Classification:
G06K 710
US Classification:
23546245, 23546246
Abstract:
A system for storing and retrieving data comprises a memory device, such as a radio frequency tag, having a memory for storing the data, a first identifier stored in the memory, and a machine-readable symbol associated with the memory device. At least a portion of the machine-readable symbol encodes a second identifier logically associable with the first identifier. The machine-readable symbol may be printed on an RF tag, or may be carried by a container that also carries an RF tag. The machine-readable symbol is composed of characters from a machine-readable symbology, and includes a flag character that indicates the existence of a memory device corresponding to the machine-readable symbol. A reader for reading the machine-readable symbol and the memory device conserves power by determining from the flag character whether a memory device is associated with the symbol, prior to operating a memory device reader section of the reader. The reader reads the machine-readable symbol to obtain a symbol identifier, and successively reads each of a number of memory devices to obtain a memory device identifier until a memory device identifier corresponding to the symbol identifier is found.

Method And Apparatus For Reliable Printing On Linerless Label Stock

View page
US Patent:
6585437, Jul 1, 2003
Filed:
Sep 27, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/406153
Inventors:
Christopher A. Wiklof - Everett WA
L. David Rish - Bellevue WA
Assignee:
Intermec IP Corp. - Everett WA
International Classification:
B65C 1102
US Classification:
400621, 101288
Abstract:
A system comprising a linerless pressure sensitive label stock and a printer for printing on linerless pressure sensitive label stock exhibit reduced tendency for exposed adhesive to stick to printer components. The linerless pressure sensitive label stock has a plurality of regions that are substantially non-tacky formed along the length of the label stock web. In one embodiment, the non-tacky regions are formed by printing an adhesive deadening agent over the pressure sensitive adhesive. In another embodiment, the adhesive is printed in a pattern having non-tacky regions. Optional perforations in the non-tacky regions aid separation of printed regions from the rest of the web. Various means of web position sensing allow the printer to track the positions of the substantially non-tacky regions. After printing, the web of linerless pressure sensitive label stock is moved to positions where it is unlikely to stick to printer components.

Automatic Mode Detection And Conversion System For Printers And Tag Interrogators

View page
US Patent:
6597465, Jul 22, 2003
Filed:
Apr 27, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/067339
Inventors:
Jaye A. Jarchow - Snohomish WA
Christopher A. Wiklof - Everett WA
Assignee:
Intermec IP Corp. - Woodland Hills CA
International Classification:
G06K 100
US Classification:
358 112, 358 115, 23546212, 23546201
Abstract:
An apparatus, such as a printer or reader receives a data stream from a memory, such as from an RF or photonic memory, and compares portions of the data stream to a table of data. If a portion of the data matches an entry in the table, a corresponding entry in the table causes the apparatus to be automatically configured. Alternatively, an apparatus receives a data stream to be written, such as in a bar code symbol or tag memory. The apparatus analyzes portions of the data, comparing portions of the data to a reference table. If the apparatus identifies a match, the apparatus adjusts the writing of such data. For example, the printer writes a portion of the incoming data stream to both fields in a bar code symbol and in a portion of the memory in an adjacent RF readable tag.

Low-Cost Radio Replacement Utilizing Rfid Technology

View page
US Patent:
6608551, Aug 19, 2003
Filed:
Sep 13, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/394241
Inventors:
James A. Anderson - Everett WA
Christopher A. Wiklof - Everett WA
Assignee:
Intermec IP Corp - Woodland Hills CA
International Classification:
H04Q 522
US Classification:
340 1051, 3405721, 34082536, 340 101
Abstract:
A radio replacement using RFID technology in an RF-enabled device is provided. The RF-enabled handheld, portable, or otherwise mobile device is equipped with an RFID tag having read and write capability. Data exchange occurs between the RFID tag and a network of RFID interrogators placed to provide adequate coverage of the area over which the device might move. As a result of replacing a full functioning transmitting/receiving radio with an RFID tag, the cost of the RF-enabled device could be significantly reduced, its battery life could be extended, and it could operate in a frequency band that does not require FCC approval. Additionally, this invention could provide tracking and access control using the RFID tag and interrogators.

US Patent:
6618162, Sep 9, 2003
Filed:
Jan 26, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/237625
Inventors:
Christopher A. Wiklof - Everett WA
Pixie Ann Austin - Marysville WA
Mike T. Brooks - Bend OR
Jaye A. Jarchow - Snohomish WA
Assignee:
Intermec IP Corp. - Beverly Hills CA
International Classification:
G06F 1500
US Classification:
358 115, 358 116, 710 10, 710 1, 710 2, 710 3, 710 4
Abstract:
A device such as a printer, includes non-volatile memory storing a communications kernel. Upon startup, a microprocessor executes the communication kernel to prompt a host to download a setup kernel to the device. The microprocessor may verify the downloading using a check sum calculation. The microprocessor may execute the setup kernel to determine the operational characteristics on the device. For example, the microprocessor may interrogate the hardware elements of the device to determine a set of hardware characteristics. The microprocessor may also interrogate the device to determine a set of user selectable setup options and may further interrogate the device or a nonresident register for ownership and access attributes for selected modules and software. The microprocessor may link a number of resident and non-resident library modules, selected based on the operational characteristics. The library modules are dynamically linkable to reconfigure the software as operational characteristics change.
