Estimating the term…
Bar codes, comprised of black and white stripes, are shown to be a finite topic, and the optimum bar code methodology is binary coded binary, BCB. Binary digits are utilized to represent bar coded messages and each binary digit is immediately complemented, forming two independent but binarily complemented messages in one bar code symbol. BCB represents given information in less space than, e.g., Interleaved 2 of 5 and Code 39, while using the same x width (the width of a module), and BCB is far more versatile and is easier and less expensive to print and scan. BCB avoids misreads more reliably and achieves a dramatically higher first time read rate through use of error correcting bar codes.
A method of coding information represented by first and second machine-detectable code elements defined by contrasting properties, comprising:
A method of coding given information comprised of characters of a given size character set into a single coded numerical message wherein individual characters are not distinguishable subsequent to coding and prior to decoding, comprising;
A bar code comprising a single bar coded representation of given integer and fractional numerical information, a predefined number of code elements in a predefined location of the bar code which define the location of a point which separates code elements representing the integer numerical information from code elements representing the fractional numerical information, wherein the code elements representing the given integer and fractional numerical information are located in other predefined locations of the single bar coded representation.
A method of coding information in an alphanumeric mode and coding information in a numerical only mode into a composite coded message comprising:
