A slot reader is a relatively simple device for reading badges or plastic cards. The badge or card is manually moved along a slot that guides it past a sensing station. The data to be read may be encoded magnetically or printed in bar code or machine-readable font. Since the rate of movement past the read head is not controlled by the device, the sensing head and electronics are generally designed to work over a range of speeds. 2, record 2, English, - slot%20reader

Several types of electro-optical proximity sensors have been developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory(JPL) for different types of mechanical hands and for different uses. In the latest implementation, the light source and light detector have been removed from the optical head located on the mechanical hand and have been integrated into the electronics instrumentation package located near the computer interface electronics. Fiber optic cables of low attenuation connect the light source and light detector to the optic head. 1, record 5, English, - electro%2Doptical%20proximity%20sensor
