| 20080289874 | SPIRAL HEATER WIRE TERMINATION - An electrical connector for use with providing an electrical termination to an end of a cable having a conductor helically disposed between a core and a layer overlying the core. The connector includes a first portion having an opening sized greater than a diameter defined by the helically disposed conductor but less than a diameter of the layer. A second portion has an opening sized greater than a diameter defined by the helically disposed conductor. A third portion is configured to receive a conductor of a second cable. As a result of the end of the cable being sufficiently inserted through the opening of the first portion, the helically disposed conductor is exposed about a length of the cable extending through another side of the first portion and received in the opening of the second portion. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20080245872 | BARCODE SCANNER/READER HAVING CONSTANTLY VARYING FOCAL DISTANCE - A scanner/reader for reading target objects, such as a barcode, that incorporates a variable focus liquid lens whose focal distance is constantly and continuously varied through the lens' predefined focal range provides an efficient way to scan or read a barcode. A driver circuit for the liquid lens continuously generates a lens driver signal that provides the liquid lens with a continuously varying voltage input to the liquid lens and thus varying the focal distance of the liquid lens cyclically through a predefined focal range. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20090072037 | Autofocus liquid lens scanner - An autofocus system and method for performing the same for a liquid lens. The autofocus system in one embodiment includes a liquid lens having a variable focal length that is adjusted by varying an input voltage to the lens, distance detection circuitry operative to measure a distance to a target to be scanned, and control circuitry associated with the liquid lens for focusing the lens. The control circuitry receives a signal from the distance detection circuitry representing a measured distance to the target. Control logic, preferably implemented by the control circuitry in one embodiment, calculates a voltage value corresponding to the measured distance to the target and generates an output voltage approximating the calculated voltage value to adjust the focus the lens. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20100252634 | Laser Scanner - A laser scanning system and method for scanning symbology targets such as barcodes. The scanning system in one embodiment includes at least one laser source and a pair of wobbling mirrors generally disposed towards opposite ends of a centrally-positioned rotatable mirrored spinner. In one embodiment, the central spinner is double-sided having reflecting surfaces on opposites sides thereof. Laser beams projected onto each wobbling mirrors are in turn redirected onto each reflecting surface of the double-sided rotating spinner which produces a pair of rotating scanning beams for reading a symbology target. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100258632 | Laser Scanner Output Window - A laser scanner for reading symbology, such as barcodes. The laser scanner includes a housing, a laser source or generator disposed in the housing and operative to generate a laser beam, and an output window supported by housing and being positioned to receive the laser beam incident thereon. The window is operative to transmit the laser beam therethrough at a symbology target. In one embodiment, the window includes a vertical wedge angle between front and rear surfaces of the window that is oriented substantially in alignment with a vertical axis defined by the window. The vertical wedge angle is preferably oriented perpendicular to a horizontally-extending scanning line of the laser beam on the window. In one embodiment, the vertical wedge angle is substantially the same along the entire length or width of the window. | 10-14-2010 |

| 20110137905 | USE OF INFERENCE TECHNIQUES TO FACILITATE CATEGORIZATION OF SYSTEM CHANGE INFORMATION - Methods, systems, and articles for receiving, by a monitor server, change data associated with a change captured on a target host, are described herein. In various embodiments, the target host may have provided the change data in response to detecting the change, and the change data may include one or more rules, settings, and/or parameters. Further, in some embodiments, the monitor server may analyze the change data in order to group the change data into clusters. Once the change data have been classified as clusters, a report may be generated providing classification or categorization and cluster information for the various changes. In various embodiments, the generating may comprise generating a report to the target host and/or to an administrative user. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110138038 | INTERPRETING CATEGORIZED CHANGE INFORMATION IN ORDER TO BUILD AND MAINTAIN CHANGE CATALOGS - Methods, systems, and articles for receiving, by a monitor server, change data associated with a change captured on a target host, are described herein. In various embodiments, the target host may have provided the change data in response to detecting the change, and the change data may include one or more rules, settings, and/or parameters. Further, in some embodiments, the monitor server may then group the change data into clusters and may correlate the clusters with a change catalog in order to provide a possible reason or cause for the cluster of changes. Once the change data have been classified as clusters, a report may be generated providing classification or categorization and cluster information for the various changes. In various embodiments, the generating may comprise generating a report to the target host and/or to an administrative user. In various embodiments, a reason may be determined for causing a cluster of changes and the change catalog may updated with the reason. | 06-09-2011 |
