Patent number: 11816856Abstract: A system for determining the absolute position of a first object with respect to a second object includes a scalar element attached to the first object and a measuring device attached to the second object. The scalar element comprises a series of coded regions. The coded region represents a number designating a position along an axis of the scalar element. The measuring device includes a two-dimensional optical sensor array configured to capture an image of a portion of the scalar element. The system also includes a processor configured to receive the image and determine an absolute position of the first object with respect to the second object based on at least one coded region of the series of coded regions.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Sage Vision Inc.Inventors: Elmar Swiegot, Alan Shinn, Chiko Fan, David King, Elias Elias
