Filed:

Mar 5, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/714062

Inventors:

James Ledwith - Lansing NY, US
Richard Kevin Mather - Salisbury NC, US
Michael D. Robinson - Weedsport NY, US

Assignee:

Hand Held Products, Inc. - Skaneateles Falls NY

International Classification:

G06K 7/10

US Classification:

23547202

Abstract:

A method of operating an indicia reader network comprising the steps of: reading an information bearing indicia of an item with a hand held indicia reader having a first wireless transceiver and generating therefrom an encrypted data message in accordance with a FIPS standard; transmitting the encrypted data message from the indicia reader to a base unit having a second wireless transceiver; decrypting the data message within the base; and transmitting the decrypted data message to a host device, wherein the network is configured so that the indicia reader and the base unit have a linking mode in which a base address of the base unit is sent to the indicia reader, and a reader address is sent to the indicia reader and a request to link is sent to the base unit by way of an encrypted wireless communication between the second wireless transceiver and the first wireless transceiver.

International Classification:

A61B 1/00
A61B 1/06

Abstract:

Systems and methods may determine an amount of current being drawn by a light source and determine, based on the amount of current, a type of light source. Based on the type of light source, an amount of time associated with disabling the light source may be determined. A voltage may be supplied to the light source for the amount of time.

A61B 1/227
A61B 3/12
A61B 3/00

Abstract:

Disclosed are medical examination or diagnostic instruments and methods of operating such instruments. The method can include coupling an instrument head to a handle to form a medical examination or diagnostic instrument; detecting by the instrument head, a characteristic of the handle; and based at least in part on detecting the characteristic of the handle, determining, by the instrument head, a handle type associated with the handle, or detecting by the handle, a characteristic of the instrument head, and based at least in part on detecting the characteristic of the instrument head, an instrument head type associated with the instrument head. In some implementations, the emission of light can be controlled to be approximately linear in relation to a user input signal, as perceived by a user.

Inventors:

- Skaneateles Falls NY, US
James Ledwith - Syracuse NY, US
Kenneth V. Coon - Jordan NY, US
Eric Samsel - Cicero NY, US

International Classification:

A61B 1/227
A61B 1/06

Abstract:

An instrument head for attachment to a plurality of instrument handles having different power sources is described. The instrument head includes at least one light-emitting diode, and a controller. When the controller detects an instability in a voltage input from a power source in an instrument handle attached to the instrument head, the controller transitions from a normal mode of operation to a mitigation mode of operation. The mitigation mode of operation prevents an increase in output of the at least one light-emitting diode for a predetermined period of time.
