METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING LOCATION OF MOVING OBJECT WITH MAXIMUM LENGTH SEQUENCE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine locations of moving objects with maximum length sequences. SOLUTION: A location of an object 220 is determined by arranging a sequence 210 of bits on a substrate 205. The sequence 210 of bits includes subsequence 230 of bits, and each subsequence of bits is unique for each location along the substrate 205. When the object 220 is at a particular location along the substrate 205, a sensor 221 detects the subsequence 230 of bits at the particular location, and a decoder 255 associates the location of the subsequence 230 at the particular location with the object 220. The substrate 205 can be a leaky coaxial cable 200 with slits or not, corresponding to the bits. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
