Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a variable size sensing system and a method for redefining the size of a sensing area thereof, the sensing system includes four elements, a mark and two image sensing devices. The four elements are consecutively connected and thereby forming a frame. Two of the four elements have variable lengths so as to adjust the size of the frame. The inner edge of the frame defines a sensing area of a parallelogram shape. The sensing system has a first and a second working mode. The sensing area has a first size and a second size when the sensing system is in the first working mode and the second working mode respectively, wherein the first size is predetermined and smaller than the second size. The mark is used to mark a fixed length. When the sensing system is changed from the first working mode to the second working mode, the mark sensed by the image sensing devices can be utilized to redefine the size of the sensing area in the sensing system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A variable size sensing system comprising: a first element; a second element; a third element; a fourth element, the first, second, third and fourth elements being consecutively connected and thereby forming a first frame, the first element and the third element being capable of increasing their lengths in a predetermined direction so that the size of the first frame can be adjusted and forms a second frame, the inner edge of the first frame defining a…
