Chemical Array as a Position Detector

A position-detection system utilizing a chemical array is described. The array uses a continuous layer of inorganic compound in a resin material as the sensing medium, thus eliminating the element spacings that are the primary cause of error in discrete arrays with inactive gaps. The analysis of a o...

Summary:A position-detection system utilizing a chemical array is described. The array uses a continuous layer of inorganic compound in a resin material as the sensing medium, thus eliminating the element spacings that are the primary cause of error in discrete arrays with inactive gaps. The analysis of a one-dimensional chemical array with mechanical image perturbation is presented. Zero error-position detection is obtained with triangular image perturbation.
