The matter is thus one of using a 'digital technique' to estimate the electrical correctness of a lottery ticket. If all the resistors are within the predefined limits, the ticket is accepted, while even a single deviation will cause a rejection.

  • the middle electrode 5 is used to measure the signal.
  • the capacitance (CMOS or JFET) of the wiring and amplifier 6 is generally so great, that the impedance of the reading electrode 5 represents a capacitive short circuit. If this is not the case, current feedback can be arranged to the amplifier 6, which makes the amplifier's input extremely low-impedance.
  • the signal is detected by using phase-sensitive detection 7, which is based on mixing the signal down with alternating electricity connected in phase with the object and the signal is phase-displaced through 90 degrees. If the measurement is not differential, the capacitive connection between the conductors is cancelled with a counter-phase signal, in order to balance the bridge.
  • the circuit according to the arrangement of the figure measures the imaginary component 9 and real component 8 of the admittance of the surface.
  • Figure 2 illustrates a situation, in which conductive (non-transparent) codes 11 are formed on top of a base 10.
  • the base 10 can be paper, board, plastic, or some other similar, typically non-conductive surface.
  • the coding has been made in such a way that the width of the code 11 is constant, but the distance between the codes is modulated. Thus, in the code there are short gaps 12 and long gaps 13 between the conductive structures 11. In some situations, there is a thin plastic film on top of the code 11 , which reduces the capacitive connection to the object. If the code according to Figure 2 is scanned with an arrangement according to Figure 1, the admittance will vary in principle between two values.
  • the electrical circuit of Figure 3a depicts a situation, in which the object being measured is purely paper and in Figure 3b correspondingly a situation, in which there is an electrically conductive layer on top of a base 10. Because the field is divided, an accurate model requires us to depict the situation using several capacitors and a resistor. If there are several conductive structures on the surface over which scanning takes place, we create an admittance modulation. In this case, when measuring at a single frequency, an impedance measurement produces an imaginary and a real component of the admittance of the object. In terms of measurement, the important question is what is the fluctuation of the imaginary and real components of the admittance, compared to a situation, in which the code alters both the real and the imaginary component. The central idea of the present invention is how to perform the measurement, so that we will be able to maximize the signal-noise ratio of the measurement.
  • the noise of the electrical resistance of the object is not substantial, in terms of the electronics an attempt is made to maximize the current of the real or imaginary component. This is achieved by maximizing the capacitive connection to the object, by making wide electrodes and a wide code and by minimizing the distance of the code from the measuring electrodes.
  • the noise of the object often determines the signal-noise ratio, and not at all the noise of the electronics. The noise often arises from the 'hunting' and tilting of the reader and the roughness of the paper (the object). Because most bases are not conductive, the problems cause noise mainly only in the imaginary component of the admittance. Though the surface has losses to some extent, the noise of the real component always remains smaller than the noise of the imaginary component.
  • the current can be maximized by using the highest possible frequency and by attempting to measure the conductive code from as close as possible - by creating a large capacitance.
  • Figure 4 shows graphically, with the aid of a curve 40, the behaviour of the real component and the imaginary component of the measured admittance, when the resistance increases.
  • the figure is a standardized presentation, in which the measurement distance is constant, thus the capacitance has a constant magnitude.
  • An imagined situation (the black ellipse 42), in which the good-quality conductive surface is measured, is also drawn in the figure.
  • the circle 41 shows a situation, in which a 'holely' code is measured, in which case the variations of both the real component and the imaginary component are very large.
  • the curve approaches the ellipse 43.
  • the method is essentially based on separating the real component and the imaginary component of the admittance of the object from each other. At high frequencies, and especially when using a square wave, there is no accurate information on the so- called angle error. With a square wave, which contains high harmonics, the entire concept of a real component and an imaginary component is, in a way, wrong.
  • the sub-index u relates to the angle-corrected admittance.
  • the correction angle is marked by a.
  • the basic idea of the method is that the correction angle is chosen in such a way that the variation of the real component is minimized, when the measuring device is scanned over the surface of the paper (plastic) at a point at which there is no code. Calibration can be improved by intentionally making impressions on the surface of the paper, or by swinging the measuring point (pen) in such a way that the distance from the surface of the paper varies. It is preferable to make the calibration on the surface used in the embodiment. Another alternative is to make the calibration for the angle when scanning the code in an area, in which there is no code.
  • the intention of the angle correction is thus to eliminate from the measurement signal the variation due to changes in the properties of the paper and the position of the point and make it depend only on the properties of the code.
  • the background noise is removed.
  • the angle of rotation of the set of co-ordinates is selected in such a way that a change in the lossless dielectric material in the object does not appear in the angle-corrected Re signal.
  • This objective is achieved by producing for the measuring point a change only in lossless permittivity, for example, by lowering the point onto the paper. After this, the angle-corrected signals Re and Im are examined. The angle alpha is adjusted until a change caused by the adjustment appears only in the Im signal, or the minimum of the Re signal is reached. After the correction, the Re signal is measured, in which the change will appear only at the code.
  • Figure 5 shows a test, in which an admittance point operating at 50 MHz scans the code through thin plastic. It will be noted that, even though the imaginary component 50 is clearly stronger than the real component 51, the noise of the imaginary component 50 is very great. This is caused by the roughness of the paper. Before the scanning of the code, the real component 51 is measured and the imaginary component 50 was corrected by an angle correction of about 28 degrees. Without the angle correction, both components would be mainly determined by the capacitance modulation.
  • Figure 6 shows only the real component 60 of the admittance. Though in the case in question the conductivity of the code is not optimized, the real component's signal- noise ratio is very good. In fact, in this measurement the noise on top of the paper is determined by the digitization used. A small amount of noise is caused by the fact that we can set the triggering level close to the zero point of the real component, so that even a poor code can be read.
  • Figure 7 shows a special case, in which the code is read from very close, but due to the roughness of the paper the code has become 'splotchy'. Because in this special case the ratio of the real component 71 to the imaginary component 70 is not optimal, the real component 71 remains considerably smaller than the imaginary component 70. On the other hand, because the code has become 'splotchy', both are noisy on top of the code. In such a situation, it is best to include the imaginary component too in the measurement. This situation is shown in Figure 4, where both noises are assumed to be great on top of the code.
  • Figure 8 for its part, represents a typical measuring situation, in which the broken line depletes the imaginary component, and the completely solid line the real component of the measured impedance. As can be seen from the figure, the signal- noise ratio of the real component is clearly better than the signal-noise component of the imaginary component.
  • One central idea of the method is to calibrate the pen acting as the measuring head, in such a way that it distinguishes the real component and the imaginary component from each other. This can be done by adjusting the correction angle in such a way that the pen produces no changes in the real component when it is placed on a lossless dielectric surface. Another way is to scratch the dielectric surface and ensure that fluctuations do not take place in the real component when scanning over the surface.
  • the real component is reset on the surface of the paper and the triggering level is set beforehand, or the algorithm seeks a suitable triggering level on the basis of the signal strength. Because the noise in the real component is small, the triggering level can be set very close to zero.
  • the code can be detected by weighting the lengths of the real component and the imaginary component in a suitable ratio to each other, in such a way that the signal-noise ratio is optimized.
  • the sub-index ref refers to the measurement of the reference code and the sub-index a to the measurement of the sensor.
  • the equation can be used reliably only if the reference has a geometry that is similar to that of the sensor. If either the real component or the imaginary component dominates the admittance, the equation if, of course, simplified. On the other hand, it often happens that the imaginary component is nearly the same on top of both the reference and the sensor, and for this reason the rough conductivity of the sensor is often obtained by simple mathematics.
  • the admittance Y depicts the angle-corrected admittance.
  • the code can be made in several different ways.
  • One possibility is to 'copy' the method used in barcodes.
  • a way is introduced, which permits a natural way to eliminate the speed variations that take place in scanning with a pen or mouse.
  • the way described is based on the triggering level being set close to the impedance of the paper and thus not using the code as a 'zero reference'.
  • the information is stored in the width modulation of the lines and the width of a conducting line is constant.
  • the width of a suitable short code is of the same order as the width of a conducting area and correspondingly a wide gap can be 1.5 - 3 times wider, depending on the signal-noise rate of the reading and the selected error-correction algorithm. If the coefficient is only 1.5, we obtain an information density of 1/2.25 bits per unit of travel. For example, a 40- ⁇ line would conduct 1/90 ⁇ / ⁇ , i.e. a 96-bit EPC code would require a code about 9-mm long.
  • a pleasant scanning length with a penlike point is 3 cm - 5 cm, so that an EPC code would require a code width of at least 250 ⁇ . Even longer distances can be scanned with a pen and, especially if we use a mouse-type interface, the distance can easily be 5 cm - 10 cm. This means that even large numbers of bits can be coded electronically. In addition, if a 2D code is made from a corresponding method, the amount of information can be many times this.
  • the reading of the code can thus be optimized as follows. Once the electrode structure, the distance from the code, and the reading frequency are settled, the conductivity of the ink is optimized, in such a way that the reactance of the capacitance is of the same order as the resistance of the conductive ink. With the aid of the measuring electronics, the measured real and imaginary components of the admittance are corrected by angle correction, in such a way that the real component measures only losses. This can be seen easily by bringing the point close to the non-conductive dielectric surface.
  • the correction can be analog in connection with a capacitive bridge, or after mixing.
  • the correction can also be made digitally, after AD correction.
  • the interpretation of the code is made mainly from the real component. If, for example, due to the examination of the origin of the ink we require better information on the conductivity, we can, with the aid of the admittance, calculate the real component of the impedance and decide the conductivity of the code from this.
  • the invention can also be described as follows.
  • the permittivity of the dielectric material being measured (paper, board, plastic) is complex, containing a lossy and a lossless component.
  • the reader according to the invention measures both of these.
  • the lossless component is formed of polarization.
  • the lossy component is formed either of the losses relating to polarization, or of conductivity losses.
  • the permittivity of clean paper is almost entirely lossless.
  • the signal proportional to the lossless permittivity measured by the point of the reader changes for the following reasons: 1. Due to the fibrous nature of the paper the permittivity varies at different points.
  • the moisture absorbed by the paper changes the permittivity in different ways at different places.
  • the signal proportional to this lossless permittivity appears in both angle-corrected signals (Re orig and Im orig), which is due to the phase difference between the modulation and demodulation.
  • This phase difference can be altered (also called rotation of the coordinates).
  • new signals Re and Im can be formed.
  • the angle correction is made by moving the reader on clean paper and adjusting the angle alpha, until the change caused by the movement appears only in the imaginary component, or if changes appear in the real component, they are minimal and very small. In that case, the real component thus measures only the lossy, resistive component of the impedance.
  • the Re signal changes only at the code.
