The first mark sense scanner was the IBM 805 Test Scoring Machine; this read marks by sensing the electrical conductivity of graphite pencil lead using pairs of wire brushes that scanned the page. In the 1930s, Richard Warren at IBM experimented with optical mark sense systems for test scoring, as documented in US Patents 2,150,256 (filed in ...
Barcode reader. A stationary barcode scanner for a conveyor line. A barcode reader or barcode scanner is an optical scanner that can read printed barcodes and send the data they contain to computer. [1] Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens, and a light sensor for translating optical impulses into electrical signals.
An automotive scan tool (scanner) is an electronic tool used to interface with, diagnose and, sometimes, reprogram vehicle control modules. [1] There are many types from just as many manufacturers, one of the most familiar being the Snap-On Inc. "brick", or MT2500/MTG2500. Snap-On, Hella Gutmann Solutions, OTC/SPX, Xtool india, Autel, Launch ...
Optical reader. An optical reader is a device that observes visual information and translates it into digital information, [1] as found within most image and barcode and matrix-code scanners. An example of optical readers are marksense systems for elections where voters mark their choice by filling a rectangle, circle, or oval, or by completing ...
Video of the process of scanning and real-time optical character recognition (OCR) with a portable scanner. Optical character recognition or optical character reader (OCR) is the electronic or mechanical conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text, whether from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene photo (for example the text on signs and ...
Automatic identification and data capture. Automatic identification and data capture ( AIDC) refers to the methods of automatically identifying objects, collecting data about them, and entering them directly into computer systems, without human involvement. Technologies typically considered as part of AIDC include QR codes, [1] bar codes, radio ...
Automatic equipment identification. Automatic equipment identification ( AEI) is an electronic recognition system in use with the North American railroad industry. Consisting of passive tags mounted on each side of rolling stock and active trackside readers, AEI uses RF technology to identify railroad equipment while en route. RFID antenna used ...
Radio-frequency identification ( RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. An RFID system consists of a tiny radio transponder called a tag, a radio receiver, and a transmitter. When triggered by an electromagnetic interrogation pulse from a nearby RFID reader device, the tag transmits ...
