Abstract
An optical code recognition unit (OCRU) for recognizing a predetermined n-bit optical code has an n-way splitter having an input and n parallel outputs. A plurality of combiners are associated with the splitter outputs, and a respective gate is controlled by the output of each of the combiners. Each of the splitter outputs is subject to a different delay of from 0 to (n-1) bit periods, and each combiner receives an input from at least one of the splitter outputs. The OCRU is such that all the gates are turned on if a predetermined optical code is applied to the splitter input.
