ShotCode is a circular barcode created by High Energy Magic of Cambridge University. It uses a dartboard -like circle, with a bullseye in the centre and datacircles surrounding it. The technology reads databits from the datacircles by measuring the angle and distance from the bullseye for each point. ShotCodes are designed to be read with a ...
CueCat barcode scanner and interposer cables with male and female PS/2 connectors. The CueCat, styled :CueCat with a leading colon, is a cat-shaped handheld barcode reader that was given away free to Internet users starting in 2000 by the now-defunct Digital Convergence Corporation (which often styled its own name as Digital:Convergence Corporation).
Optical mark recognition (OMR) is the scanning of paper to detect the presence or absence of a mark in a predetermined position. [5] Optical mark recognition has evolved from several other technologies. In the early 19th century and 20th century patents were given for machines that would aid the blind.
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 ...
High Capacity Color Barcode. High Capacity Color Barcode ( HCCB) is a technology developed by Microsoft for encoding data in a 2D "barcode" using clusters of colored triangles instead of the square pixels conventionally associated with 2D barcodes or QR codes. [1] Data density is increased by using a palette of 4 or 8 colors for the triangles ...
On-board diagnostics. Various angles and details of a "MaxScan OE509" – a fairly typical onboard diagnostics (OBD) handheld scanner from the first decade of the 21st century.

Website. www.ioccc.org. The International Obfuscated C Code Contest (abbreviated IOCCC) is a computer programming contest for the most creatively obfuscated C code. Held semi-annually, it is described as "celebrating [C's] syntactical opaqueness". [1] The winning code for the 27th contest, held in 2020, was released in July 2020. [2]
Barcode Scanner scanning a QR code. The application Barcode Scanner is an Android app, from the open-source project ZXing (short for Zebra Crossing ), that allows an Android device with imaging hardware (a built-in camera) to scan barcodes or 2D barcodes and retrieve the data encoded. [2] Information encoded often includes web addresses ...
