Embodiment Construction

[0032]Micro matrix data markings for objects, for example, very small objects such as implantable screws and other components are reduced in size beyond existing standards as described. Reduction in micro matrix marking cell size in turn leads to reduced matrix size, increased data density, or both. While the making and using of various exemplary embodiments of the invention are discussed herein, it should be appreciated that the present invention provides inventive concepts which can be embodied in a wide variety of specific contexts. It should be understood that the invention may be practiced with various manufactured products and physical articles having markable surfaces, such as for example, microelectronic circuits, mechanical parts, natural objects, projectiles, medical devices, and medication, without altering the principles of the invention. For purposes of clarity, detailed descriptions of functions, components, and systems familiar to those skilled in the applicable arts ...

Abstract

The invention provides methods and systems for the application and reading of micro markings for coding of information for placement on the surfaces of individual very small devices. In preferred embodiments, a two dimensional micro matrix of markings or dots is realized on a scale of a 25 um cell size and smaller.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 646,509 filed Dec. 23, 2009, which claims the priority benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 140,608 filed Dec. 23, 2008, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The invention relates to marking objects with data such as part identification or serialization data. More particularly, the invention relates to micro markings, and micro marking and reading systems and methods for providing and using micrometer scale encoded data on manufactured goods and other articles.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Commercial product marking standards exist in industries such as automotive, defense, medical, and electronics in applications where traceability is considered desirable. These standards are part of endeavors to ensure that traceable identifying marks are suitable for process control in the relevant...
