  • a passive heatsink is adequate for thermal dissipation.
  • one of skill in the art may choose a different type of heatsink, such as an active heatsink.
  • Camera 222 may be chosen in part based on its response to light in a chosen wavelength. For example, in one instance, the device described herein uses a five megapixel (5MP) camera because of its optimal response in the blue wavelength. In other configurations, other wavelengths of light may be emitted by light sources 226, and other types of cameras 222 may be used. Light emitted by light sources 226 may be of varying power levels.

In one instance, power source 310 is a 12V, 5A power supply. Power source 310 may be chosen to be a limited power source to limit the exposure or voltage or current to a user in the case of electrical fault. Power source 310 provides power, through voltage regulators, to light source 330, camera 320, IR sensor 340, controller 350 and communications module 360.
  • Infrared sensor 340 is powered by power source 310 and controlled by controller 350. In some instances, IR sensor 340 may be activated by controller 350. When IR sensor 340 is first activated by controller 350, it is calibrated, as discussed in further detail herein. After calibration, when an object enters the field of view of the IR sensor 340, it generates an increased signal from the sensor, and if the increased signal exceeds a predetermined threshold, controller 350 triggers light source 330 and camera 320.

Abstract

Le dispositif de capture sans contact permet à une image d'un objet d'être capturée lorsque l'objet n'est pas en contact avec une partie quelconque du dispositif de capture sans contact. Le dispositif de capture sans contact comprend un compartiment électronique comprenant une caméra et une source lumineuse, la caméra et la source lumineuse étant dirigées vers une région de capture d'image, un guide de boîtier comprenant une patte s'étendant à l'opposé du compartiment électronique pour supporter un collier, et une région de capture d'image espacée du compartiment électronique et du guide de boîtier. Le collier s'étend latéralement autour d'une partie seulement de la région de capture d'image formant un espace d'entrée dans la région de capture d'image.
