Findings for PPC in St. Paul
St. Paul Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that St. Paul was the 118th least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of March 2015. St. Paul also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in Minnesota, ranking as number 2nd. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Ontario ranked as the least expensive city.
Month over Month Google Adwords Prices for St. Paul Rise in March 2015
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting St. Paul keywords increased by 11% in March 2015.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 35% Lower in St. Paul than Minneapolis
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in St. Paul are 35% lower than in Minneapolis. The average price of a click in St. Paul is $12.24.
This price differential is expected however, as Minneapolis has a larger population than St. Paul.
For better comparison of prices, we also compared prices with another city with a similar population, Cincinnati, and found the average price of a click in St. Paul was 27% lower than in Cincinnati.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

New Analysis Methodology Revolutionizes Breast Cancer Therapy
|Christopher Gerner
|October 22nd 2014
Stroma cells are derived from connective tissue and may critically influence tumour growth. This knowledge is not new. However, bioanalyst Christopher Gerner and an interdisciplinary team from the University of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna have developed a novel methodology for investigation. Using modern mass spectrometry, tumour-promoting activities from breast fibroblasts were directly determined from needle biopsy samples. Recently this experimental break-through is published in the renowned Journal of Proteome Research.
The potential contribution of stroma cells to tumour growth has been widely recognised. It is not easy to understand whether a diseased stroma state supports tumour initiation or, alternatively, tumour- stroma cells are responsible for the formation of such diseased stroma. Read more ..

University and college students across New York State will celebrate National Food Day tomorrow with the inaugural NY Campus Crunch, taking a collective bite out of apples grown on New York State farms in demonstration of their support for serving locally grown food in campus cafeterias.
"Why is it important to eat local?" asks Radha Urribarri, a sophomore at the University at Albany, where students bit into apples grown on Yonder Farms in Valatie, and Indian Ladder Farms in Altamont, New York. Many students are looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact and consuming locally produced food lowers your carbon footprint by decreasing the amount of miles the food is transported. In addition, purchasing local food supports your community and economy plus it tastes better." Read More

A 2015 Michael L. Printz Honor Book
Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach. It's their getaway, their refuge. Rosie's friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had. But this summer is different. Rose's mom and dad won't stop fighting, and when Rose and Windy seek a distraction from the drama, they find themselves with a whole new set of problems. One of the local teens - just a couple of years older than Rose and Windy - is caught up in something bad... Something life threatening.
It's a summer of secrets, and sorrow, and growing up, and it's a good thing Rose and Windy have each other.
This One Summer is a tremendously exciting new teen graphic novel from two creators with true literary clout. Cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki, the team behind Skim, have collaborated on this gorgeous, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful story about a girl on the cusp of childhood - a story of renewal and revelation.
About the Author
Mariko Tamaki is a writer of comics and young adult novels. Her books include the graphic novels Skim and This One Summer with Jillian Tamaki, and Emiko Superstar with Steve Rolston. Her upcoming works include a YA novel, Saving Montgomery Sole, and a comic about teen lez heartbreak. www.marikotamaki.com
Jillian Tamaki is a Canadian illustrator and comics artist living in Brooklyn, New York. She is the creator of two books of personal works (including Skim, with Mariko Tamaki), and the ongoing webcomic, Super Mutant Magic Academy. Her most recent graphic novel is This One Summer, with Mariko Tamaki.
Praise for This One Summer…
This One Summer is a precisely written, exquisitely illustrated exploration of the moment when childhood tips over into adolescence. For the second time the Tamakis have raised the bar for young adult comics.
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
This One Summer is a beautiful, relatable story of that summer everyone has had, where things happen around you but nothing happens to you.
Read this and remember that time. Read this and feel the innocence and the intimate, wrestling out at the beach. Read this and keep it like a secret, or let it run wild like a bonfire night.

Siegmeier Earns Big Ten Honor
March 26, 2014
MINNEAPOLIS (GopherSports.com) – Senior All-American Zach Siegmeier of the Minnesota men's track & field team has been named the Big Ten Field Athlete of the Week after opening the outdoor campaign with a win in the pole vault at the Baldy Castillo Invitational.
The Lakewood, Ill., native cleared 5.40 meters on Saturday at Sun Angel Stadium in Tempe, Ariz. The mark stands as the best pole vault in the Big Ten this season and the second best performance in the nation.
Siegmeier is the defending Big Ten champion in both the outdoor and indoor pole vault. This week's honor is the first career accolade for the senior and Minnesota's first outdoor field honor since Quentin Mege on March 20, 2013.
The Gophers are off until early April and return to action with the Hamline Invitational and the Stanford Invitational on April 4-5.

If a driver absolutely won't stop texting or laughs at you for being nervous, don't argue. The last thing anyone needs is a road-raging, texting driver. Get out the car as soon as you can. Next time that driver offers to give you a ride, say, "no, thanks."

Officials must extend their cooperation in brining the Right to Information Act to extensive use by people, but not many officials were forthcoming, Commissioner of Information of AP Lam Tantiya Kumari said after an inspection of Tehsildar's Office, Sub-Treasury, and Sub-Jail at Chodavaram on Wednesday. She pulled up officials for not properly registering details of matters concerning the RTI Act in the office records.
Ms. Tantiya Kumari said action would be taken against officials if they failed to provide information to petitioners. RTI activist Kandregula Venkataramana was present.
During her two-day review in the city, Ms. Tantiya Kumari found Andhra University not providing adequate information to the petitioners.
A large institution such as AU must have a Public Information Officer for every department and the Vice-Chancellor must act as the appellate authority.
Show-cause notice
She directed the Information Commission official to issue a show-cause notice to the Joint Registrar (administration) and to the officials of Damodaram Sanjeevayya National Law School for not providing information promptly to the applicants.
Inspects KGH
The Information Commissioner also inspected King George Hospital and wanted sanitation and hygiene be improved on the premises.

This application is a continuation of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/692,318, filed Oct. 20, 2000, directed to a scanning module for a bar code reader with a focusing lens.
The present invention relates to scanners. More specifically, the present invention relates to integrated barcode scanners mounted on common substrates.
Barcodes store information about an associated object and are read by scanners, which are now handheld. As barcode scanners have become smaller, the number of uses have increased. Today, barcode scanners are used to price store items, control warehouse inventory, and even route overnight packages.
In reading a barcode, a barcode scanner scans a laser beam across the barcode and detects the reflected light from the barcode. Typically, barcode scanners, including handheld scanners, have been constructed using discrete components. These discrete components, such as laser-diodes and rotatable scanning mirrors, are separately manufactured and carefully aligned in the scanner to obtain the proper scanning function.
However the use of discrete components limits further miniaturization of the barcode scanner, thus restricting additional uses for the barcode scanner. Further improper alignment of the discrete components can render the scanner inoperative. Thus, the discrete components must be carefully aligned during assembly, making the scanner complex and costly to construct.
Accordingly, it is desirable to provide an improved barcode scanner with increased flexibility.
It is also desirable to provide a miniaturized barcode scanner.
It is also desirable to provide a barcode scanner that is simpler to construct.
It is also desirable to decrease the cost of constructing a barcode scanner.
Additional desires of the invention will be set forth in the description which follow, and in part will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the amended claims.
To achieve the foregoing desires, a barcode scanner mounted on a common substrate is disclosed. More particularly and in accordance with the purposes of the invention as embodied and broadly described herein, the present invention provides a light scanning system formed on a common substrate comprising a light scanner, integrated on the substrate, for scanning light across a target and a sensor, integrated on the substrate, for detecting light reflected from the target.
The barcode scanner may include a light scanner comprising a micro-machined mirror which may be rotated or bent to scan an incident light beam. The barcode scanner may also scan a light beam without using a micro-machined mirror by rotating a light source.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the objects, advantages, and principles of the invention.
In the drawings,
FIG. 1 is a side view of a scanner according to a first embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a scanner according to the first embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a side view of a scan module used in the scanner shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a side view of a scanner according to a second embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a side view of a scanner according to a third embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 6 is a plan view of a scanner according to the third embodiment of the present invention;
FIGS. 7A and 7B show a side view of scanners according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of another scan module according to the present invention;
FIG. 9 is perspective view of a scanner according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention;
FIGS. 10A-10B are a top and side view, respectively, of a retro-collective micro-machined mirror according to the present invention;
FIG. 11 is a side view of a scan module according to the present invention using deformable mirrors;
FIGS. 12A-12C are a perspective, side, and top view, respectively, of a scanner according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 13 shows a scanner system incorporating the scanner according to the present invention.
The present invention is directed to a light scanning system formed on a common substrate. The light scanning system may include a light source for producing a light beam, a deflector for deflecting the focused light beam in a desired pattern, a lens a detector for monitoring the light beam from the light source, a sensor for detecting a reflection of the deflected light beam, and electronic circuits.
Reference will now be made in detail to preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings
A first embodiment of the scanner of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 and is designated generally by reference numeral 100. Scanner 100 includes a laser diode 112, spherical lens 114, scan module 118, and detectors 120 and 128. Laser diode 112 and detector 128 are mounted on a laser submount 126 which serves as a supporting stand. Spherical microlens 114 is supported by lens holder 116. Laser submount 126, lens holder 116, scan module 118, and detector 120 are mounted on a substrate 122.
The surface of substrate 122 includes a flat portion 121 adjacent to a sloped portion 123. Laser submount 126 and lens holder 116 are mounted on flat portion 121. Scan module is mounted on sloped portion 123. In a preferred embodiment, substrate 122 is made of a semiconductor material such as silicon, and the sloped portion 123 is inclined at about a 45� angle.
Laser diode 112 is aligned with an optical axis of lens 114 and emits a visible laser beam according to a laser diode driver, not shown in the drawings. In a preferred embodiment, laser diode 112 can be any commercially available laser diode which is capable of producing a laser beam suitable for bar code scanning, such as the laser diode chip from a Sony SLD 1101 VS.
Detector 128 is mounted on laser submount 126 behind laser diode 112 for monitoring the output of laser diode 112. Detector 128 creates a signal representative of the amount of light output from the back of laser diode 112, which is proportional to the intensity of the laser beam output from the front of laser diode 112. That signal can be transmitted to a laser diode driver to control the output of laser diode 112.
FIG. 1 shows lens 114 secured in an upright position by a separate lens holder 116. It is understood that len's 114 and lens holder 116 could also be a single integrated device. Although FIG. 1 shows lens holder 116 mounted on the flat portion of substrate 122, it could also be attached to laser submount 126. Also, although lens 114 is shown as a spherical microlens in the preferred embodiment, lens 114 could also comprise any other lens for focusing a laser beam, such as a ball microlens, a grated rod index lens (GRIN), a micro-FRESNEL lens, or a cylindrical microlens.
The desired focus of the laser beam can be achieved by adjusting the distance between lens 114 and laser diode 112. Although lens holder 116 may be adjustable to move lens 114 closer to or farther from laser diode 112, it is preferred that lens 114 be fixed in a pre-aligned position.
Scan module 118 is mounted on the sloped portion 123 to permit scan module 118 to intercept and deflect a laser beam from laser diode 112. During operation of scanner 100, scan module 118 scans the laser beam in one dimension across a target.
Scan module 118 preferably comprises a micro-machined mirror, which is fabricated using existing VLSI technology. K. E. Peterson, �Silicon as a Mechanical Material; � Proc. of IEEE, Vol. 70, No. 5, 420-457 (May 1982), U. Breng et al., �Electrostatic Micromechanic Actuators,� 2 J. Micromech. Microenrg. 256-261 (1992), and Larry J. Hornbeck, �Deformable-Mirror Spatial Light Modulators,� 1150 Proceedings of SPIE (1989) describe acceptable techniques for fabricating micro-machined mirrors.
Detector 120, which is preferably mounted on the flat portion 121 of substrate 122, detects a reflection of a laser beams the beam is scanned across a target. The laser beam scatters as it is scanned across the target, thus allowing detector 120 to receive and detect light reflected from the target. Detector 120 then creates a signal representing the detected reflection. For example, where a laser beam has been scanned across a barcode having light and dark regions, the light regions of a barcode will reflect light, while the dark regions will not. As the laser beam is scanned across the barcode, detector 120 detects the dispersed light, which represents the light regions of the barcode, and creates a corresponding signal, thus permitting the barcode to be �read.� In a preferred embodiment, detector 120 is a monolithically integrated photodetector.
FIG. 2 shows a top view of scanner 100. Laser diode 112, lens 114, and scan module 118 are arranged in alignment with each other to permit scan module 118 to deflect a focused laser beam. Detector 120 can be located on either side of lens holder 116.
Wire bond pads 130 permit detector 120 to interface with an external device, for example, a signal processor. Wire bond pads 132 and 134 permit laser diode 112 and detector 128, respectively, to interface with an external device, such as a laser diode driver for controlling the output of laser diode 112. Wire bond pads 142 allow micro-machined mirror to be actuated by an external device such as a feedback circuit (not shown).
Scan module 118 of the present invention may be implemented using various structures such as torsional or cantilever as described in detail below. Further, scan module 118 can be actuated by various techniques also described in detail below such as electrostatic actuation and heat actuation. Under heat actuation, for example, hinges are made of shape memory alloy or are bimetallic.
Under a torsional structure, scan module 118 includes scanning mirror 136, torsional hinges 138, and frame 140. Hinges 138 are supported by frame 140, which is mounted on the sloped portion 123 of substrate 122. Scanning mirror 136 is suspended by hinges 138 and rotates about an axis formed by hinges 138 along the surface of the sloped portion of substrate 122. Scanning mirror 136 can be rotated up to 90�. As described above, wire bond pads 142 permit scan module 118 to interface with an external device, such as a scan module driver for controlling scan module 118.
FIG. 3 shows various elements for controlling scan module 118. Electrostatic actuation is one way that scan module 118 can rotate mirror 136 to scan an incident laser beam. Accordingly, in the preferred embodiment, scan module 118 includes upper electrodes 144 mounted on a glass cover 148 on either side of the rotation axis above mirror 136, and substrate electrodes 146 mounted on substrate 122 on either side of the rotation axis below; mirror 136. Upper electrodes 144 need to be transparent to allow light to enter and exit scan module 118. For example, upper electrodes 144 can be formed by depositing on glass cover 148 a semi-transparent metallic coating having a low reflectivity.
During operation of scan module 118, upper electrodes 144 and substrate electrodes 146 are energized to create an electrostatic force to rotate mirror 136. The electrostatic force creates a voltage between one of the substrate electrodes 146 and mirror 136, which in turn creates charges of opposite polarity between substrate electrode 146 and mirror 136. The resulting attractive force pulls the closer side of mirror 136 downward, thus rotating mirror 136 along the rotation axis.
At the same time, a voltage is applied between mirror 136 and a corresponding upper electrode 144 to aid the substrate electrode 146 in rotating mirror 136. The resulting attractive force pulls the other side of mirror 136 upward, continuing to rotate mirror 136 in coordination with the substrate electrode 146.
Mirror 136 can be rotated in the opposite direction by applying voltages to the other substrate electrode 146 and upper electrode 144. An incident light beam can be scanned by scan module 118 by alternately applying voltages to the appropriate substrate electrodes 146 and upper electrodes 144. This approach provides a simple method of actuating scan module 118 using very low power consumption.
Although FIG. 3 shows both upper electrodes 144 and substrate electrodes 146, mirror 136 could also be rotated using only one set of electrodes, i.e. either upper electrodes 144 or substrate electrodes 146. In such a configuration, substrate electrodes 146 could rotate mirror 136 without using upper electrodes 144 by alternately applying voltages between the substrate electrodes, 146 and mirror 136. Upper electrodes 144 could work alone in the same manner. Either situation would require a greater attractive force to rotate mirror 136.
While hinges 138 can be made of any suitable material, hinges 138 are preferably made of a shape memory alloy, such as titanium-nickel, because of the unique shape-restoring features of such alloys. Shape memory alloys return to their original shape when heated above a transition temperature. After hinges 138 are twisted by the rotation of mirror 136, they can be subjected to a short electric pulse prior to each scan to heat them and return mirror 136 to its original position. In a preferred embodiment, a 10-20 mW pulse can be applied for 10 milliseconds or less to restore mirror 136 to its original position.
Additional embodiments of the invention will now be described where like or similar parts are identified throughout the drawings by the same reference characters.
FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of a scanner of the present invention. Scanner 102 includes laser diode 112 mounted on laser submount 126 in alignment with an optical axis of lens 144 for emitting a laser beam, and detector 128 mounted on laser submount 126 for monitoring the output of laser diode 112. Lens 144, supported by lens holder 116, focuses the laser beam emitted from laser diode 112. Laser submount 126 and lens holder 116 are mounted on a flat portion 121 of substrate 122. Scan module 118, mounted on a sloped portion 123 of substrate 122, deflects the focused light beam across a target, and, detector 120 detects a reflection of the scanned laser beam.
In addition, scanner 102 further includes lens 146, supported by lens holder 142, for magnifying the deflection of the beam from scan module 118 before the beam is scanned across a target. A wider deflection of the beam allows a smaller mechanical deflection angle of a micromirror in module 118, and increases the flexibility in focusing the beam. As shown in FIG. 4, lens 144 is a positive lens and lens 146 is a negative lens, though it is understood that lens 144 and lens 146 can be of any type.
FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the invention as scanner 104 comprising laser diode 112 mounted on laser submount 126, which is in turn mounted on flat portion 121 of substrate 122. Detector 128 is also mounted on laser submount 126 behind laser diode 112 for monitoring the output of laser diode 112. Scan module 118, mounted on the sloped portion 123 of substrate 122, receives an unfocused laser beam from laser diode 112 and deflects that beam through lens 148, which is supported by lens holder 150. Lens 148 focuses the deflected beam before it reaches a target, such as a barcode. The configuration of scanner 104 provides a simple and compact structure due to the absence of a lens between laser diode 112 and scan module 118.
FIG. 6 shows a top view of scanner 104 without lens 148. Laser diode 112 is aligned with scan module 118. Wire bond pads 132 and 134 allow external devices to interface with laser diode 112 and detector 128, respectively. Wire bond pads 142 allow external devices to interface with the micro-machined mirror. Although FIG. 6 shows no detector for detecting the reflected light, such a detector may easily be mounted near scan module 118 or at some other desirable location.
A fourth embodiment of the present invention bends the light beam onto a scan module and is shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B. As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, respectively, scanners 106 and 107 comprise laser diode 112, lens 114, scan module 118. Lens 114 used in scanners 106 and 107 can be of any type and is mounted on substrate 222, which is completely flat. Laser diode 112 is mounted on laser submount 126.
As shown in FIG. 7A, laser diode 112 of scanner 106 is aligned above an optical axis of lens 114 by an amount x. By aligning laser diode 112 in this way, the laser beam emitted from laser diode 112 is bent downward an angle θ. The bent laser beam strikes scan module 118, which is mounted on flat substrate 222. Scan module 118 scans the laser beam across a target in the manner described in the other embodiments.
As shown in FIG. 7B, scanner 107 also includes a prism 115 positioned adjacent to lens 114. A laser beam emitted from laser diode 112 passes through lens 114 and is bent downward by prism 115 onto scan module 118. Again, scan module 118 scans the laser beam across a target in the manner described in the other embodiments.
Bending the laser beam emitted from laser diode 112 eliminates the need for a sloped substrate. This provides a distinct advantage because a flat substrate is easier to manufacture than a sloped substrate.
FIG. 8 shows another scan module according to the present invention designated by numeral 119. Mirror 136, suspended by hinges 138, rotates along an axis of rotation perpendicular to an incident laser beam. Hinges 138 are supported by frame 140. Mirror 136 is tilted at an angle with respect to the surface of substrate 222 to intercept and deflect an incident light beam perpendicular to the surface of substrate 222. Mirror 136 is rotated back and forth, for example, using electrostatic actuation as described above, causing an incident laser beam to be scanned across a target such as a barcode.
FIG. 9 shows a fifth embodiment of a scanner of the present invention. Scanner 108 implements scan module 119 shown in FIG. 8. In scanner 108, laser diode 112, mounted on flat substrate 139, emits a laser beam parallel to the surface of substrate 139 onto mirror 136. Detector 128 monitors the output of laser diode 112. Hinges 138, also mounted on flat substrate 139, allow mirror 136 to rotate and deflect the beam in a desired pattern. A groove 137 is etched in substrate 139 in front of laser diode 112 to hold a lens (not shown) to focus the laser beam emitted from laser diode 112.
Scanner 108 of FIG. 9 is more planar than scanner 100 of FIG. 1 since the components, including scan module 119, can be mounted on a single, low profile, flat substrate 139. Not only the flat substrate 139 of scanner 108 easier to manufacture than the sloped substrate 123 of scanner 100, the low profile of scanner 108 requires less space than scanner 100, thus allowing it to be used in more applications.
FIGS. 10A and 10B show a top and side view respectively of a retro-collective micro-machined mirror 135. Retro-collective micro-machined mirror 135 can be implemented in place of scan module 118 or 119 in any of the embodiments of the present invention. Mirror 136 is mounted in the center of detector 120, which is suspended by hinges 138. Mirror 136 and detector 120 are rotated along hinges 138 by electrostatic actuation as described above, causing a laser beam incident to mirror 136 to scan a target. Detector 120 detects a reflection of the scanned beam from the target.
Retro-collective micro-machined mirror 135 minimizes the amount of space required in a scanner by eliminating the need for a separate detector and scan mirror. Further, detector 120 in the retro-collective micro-machined mirror 135 detects reflected light more effectively than a stationary detector because detector 120 is always rotated to face the scanned target, thus allowing detector 120 to receive more dispersed light reflected from the target. This also reduces noise (i.e. light not reflected from the target) detected by detector 120.
FIG. 11 shows a scan module 164 with a cantilever structure that uses deformable mirrors rather than a rotating mirror. Scan module 164 includes mirror element 150, support 152, silicon electrodes 154, oxide film 156, silicon-substrate 158, and voltage source 160.
Mirror element 150 is made of a reflective material, such as aluminum, and is electrically grounded and secured at one end to support 152. Support 52 is mounted on electrode 154 which is coated with oxide film 156 for electrical insulation Electrode 154 is mounted on substrate 158 and is connected to voltage source 160. Electrode 154 is separated from mirror element 150 by air gap 162.
When voltage source 160 applies a voltage to an electrode 154, it creates an electrostatic field within air gap 162, causing an electrostatic attraction between electrode 154 and corresponding mirror element 1504 The electrostatic attraction forces mirror element 150 to bend downward and deflect an incident light beam. Proper control of the electrostatic would scan an incident light beam.
The present invention can also be implemented without using mirrors. FIGS. 12A-12C show a perspective, side, and top view, respectively, of a sixth embodiment of the present invention. Scanner 170 includes focusing module 178 rotatably mounted on scan module 180. Focusing module 178 comprises laser diode 172, lens 174, and aperture 176, and is suspended by hinges 182 the same way mirror 136 is suspended by hinges 138 in scan module 118 (see FIG. 3), and focusing module 178 can be rotated back and forth along hinges 182 the same way mirror 136 is rotated along hinges 138 by scan module 118.
A laser beam emitted from laser diode 172 passes through lens 174 and aperture 176 to focus the beam. Rotating focusing module 178 thus scans an incident laser beam across a target, such as a barcode, without using a mirror.
FIG. 13 shows a scanner system 200 incorporating scanner 202, which represents the various embodiments of the present invention. External devices 204 are connected to scanner 202 by lines 206. Scanner system 200 may be, for example, a stationary barcode scanner or a handheld barcode scanner.
The scanners of the present invention can be manufactured using either monolithic integration or hybrid integration. Monolithic integration fabricates the opto-mechanical system entirely on a single semiconductor chip. On the other hand, a hybrid integrated circuit combines one or more individually-fabricated subsystems on a common substrate. Hybrid integration generally involves less complicated processes than monolithic integration and permits the combination of more accurate devices.
Many of the components of the present invention including the laser diode, detectors, lenses, and scan module could be fabricated using VLSI technology. If monolithic integration is used, all of these components are fabricated onto a single chip in a single series of process steps. If hybrid integration is used, each component is individually fabricated and mounted onto a common substrate.
However, it is not necessary that all of the components be VLSI. For example, the lens for focusing the light beam could be constructed using other known techniques and then appropriately mounted onto the scanner.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the scanner of the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present inventions cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
10 Things You Can Do for Rheumatoid Arthritis
In this article
Protect Your Joints
Even when you can't lie down and rest your whole body, you can rest and protect certain joints. Immobilizing a sore joint with a splint allows it to rest and may help reduce pain and swelling. Your doctor or a physical therapist can help you choose a splint and make sure that it fits properly.
Walking aids and self-help devices can also help you rest and protect sore joints. Canes and walkers reduce stress on painful knees and hips. Zipper pulls, long-handled shoe horns, and reachers make it easier to do daily activities without putting unnecessary stress on painful joints.
Get Emotional Support for Your RA
Coping with a chronic disease is never easy. Living with RA can be particularly difficult because it's painful and highly unpredictable. You may feel fairly good one day and barely able to get out of bed the next. Joint pain and fatigue may make it hard to do some of the things you love.
It's understandable that you may feel down sometimes. But if these feelings are severe or long-lasting, ask for help.
Ask your doctor to refer you to a mental health professional who specializes in working with people with arthritis or other chronic diseases. Counseling may help you develop the skills to cope better. Attending a support group, such as those offered by the Arthritis Foundation, may also help you feel better.
If you have feelings of depression, let your doctor know. Having a chronic illness increases your risk of depression. Some people find that treatments such as psychotherapy or medication improve their mood and sense of well-being so they are better able to cope with their disease.
Keep Up With All Doctor Appointments
Unfortunately, having rheumatoid arthritis doesn't make you immune to other health problems. In fact, the disease and medications you take for it may raise your risk of some conditions.
For example, if RA causes dry mouth or makes it difficult to brush and floss your teeth, frequent dental visits may help prevent gum problems and tooth decay. If you are taking medications such as corticosteroids or hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil), which can affect your eyes, it's important to have eye exams, too.

Best Way To Dust/Clean Louvered Cabinet Doors
My kitchen has dark wood small louvered custom cabinet doors. While very attractive, they are extremely hard to clean. I have been using a toothbrush with warm water and a bit of liquid soap, drying them with a paper towel then applying Liquid Gold. This is very time consuming - but I hate it when they look the least bit dusty. Is there a better way to clean these doors?
What you're describing sounds more like something I'd do for an occasional deep cleaning. For weekly maintenance, I'd use a hand vac or small shop vac (I have both Oreck and Shop Vac 1 gal) with a soft brush attachment, opening the doors and doing the back surfaces too.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dusting brush attachment
I agree with morz8. Unless you are getting cooking splatters on the doors, dry dusting them should be enough. The round brush attachment that comes with most vacuum cleaners works well for things like this.

Traktor S4 Price Drop
Do you ever stop and think about how much money manufacturers lose by not being able to sell a brand new in box product over and over again? The second hand market is filled with used and gently used items that will sell off faster than brand new one. The gear companies obviously cannot make up for this profit loss, although it is calculated into their original costs before an item even goes on sale. One smart move that many of these companies are beginning to do is bringing down the price of an older product to make way for a new product. This ensures that even when new technology is created, there is some incentive to buy an older version for less money.
The buyers get to have the nice warm feeling of buying a brand new item, while the manufactures are able to stem the losses of potential buyers who would otherwise buy their gear on the second hand market. It is sort of like a car salesman who slashes the price on his current stock in order to make way for new car deliveries. It's more than just a marketing tactic, it's a brilliant idea. Buyers are keen to be aware of these changes as well.

Fridge Not Level - Please Advise
I have a 4 yr old GE Profile Counter Depth Fridge, 36 inches wide, with the two double freezer drawers on the bottom.
I adjusted the black screws in the front on the bottom corners counter-clockwise to lower the front to the point where one screw came out. Minor help, but it's still off.
The front of the fridge is about 1 inch too high.
Can anybody recommend a remedy to this please? Or has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
If there is nothing I can do myself, anybody know what a GE tech would charge roughly?
I just checked installation manual for a current GE Bottom Freezer , and it does not talk about making it level, it just says
Adjustable legs at the front corners of the refrigerator should be set so the refrigerator is
firmly positioned on the floor, and the front is
raised just enough that the door closes easily
when opened about halfway.
To adjust the leveling legs, turn the legs
clockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it.
The youtube video shows screws like you describe, but says they should not come out.
Neither says anything about making it level, I assume it has wheels in the back, and they want you to drop the legs in the front to keep it from moving, and so that the door will close correctly.
On the other hand, one inch sounds like a lot to me, and if you really want to, you could insert shims under the back to raise it a little.
Here is a link that might be useful: GE Video
If a refrigerator is not leveled in all directions, it is possible to distort the shape of the case versus the door shape, and in any case make the door not close in the manner designed. Ideally, the door will be designed to close by itself if opened to normal angles, but stay open when opened further.
Maybe GE made a refrigerator so rugged that leveling is not required, but if I were the OP, I would check both the side, top, and face for level and shim the back or adjust the front as required.
