Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a multilayer chip component according to an aspect of the present disclosure, laser processing is used for forming dots of a two-dimensional code. This laser processing is laser processing with respect to a laminate substrate in a state before baking is performed, and an impact at the time of processing is absorbed to a certain degree due to elastic deformation of the laminate substrate. For this reason, according to the manufacturing method, occurrence of cracking can be curbed compared to laser processing with respect to an element body in a state after baking is performed.

Abstract: Multi-axis self-location method and apparatus wherein de Bruijn sequences on 2 or more axes are convolved into an array of symbols such as halftone dots to form a reference scale. The position of an imaging device such as a camera relative to the reference scale is ascertained from the captured camera image by bit-wise reconstitution of axis position codes with simple, predominantly linear operations over small neighbourhoods. Judicious choice of differential coding, LFSR generator polynomials, mathematical operators, and deconvolution kernels enables code digits of an axis to be regenerated while simultaneously cancelling out the contributions of other axes. Also optionally provided are uniform DC-balanced variants yielding greatly improved position interpolation, isometric implementations decodable from high-aspect-ratio sample windows, robust concatenated error correction, and extensions into n-space.

Abstract: A tag with sufficient variability is generated. The tag facilitates quick location and processing within a facility. During generation, a matrix representative of a possible tag may be tested for sufficient variability. A two-dimensional matrix representing the possible tag may include different bit values at different positions. A variability metric of the matrix is performed to check the variability between adjacent elements of the matrix. This variability metric of the matrix is then compared against a variability threshold value. If the variability metric of the matrix falls below the threshold value, the matrix is flagged as unusable. If the variability metric of the matrix exceeds the threshold value, the matrix can be used to generate a tag with sufficient variability. Once generated, the tag can be presented and affixed to an item or object to help identify and locate the item within the facility.

Abstract: A system and method for ensuring safe delivery of items to an event, such as a conference or trade show. The system uses a controlled-access website or app and a program with a database operated by a security coordinator. All prospective attendees are vetted, and after being verified as bona fide attendees who qualify as a reliable exhibitor/shipper, are given access to the database for the purpose of obtaining (by download) a particularized set of coded labels to be applied to a particular item to be shipped. The coded labels are then printed, applied to the items to be shipped and sent to a staging location for screening. At the staging location, the security coordinator scans all coded labels of shipped items when they arrive, and the program compares the scanned data with the data in the database to see if the shipped items are associated with a reliable exhibitor/shipper.
