for measuring distance only (indirect measurement G01S17/46; active triangulation systems G01S17/48)

Introduced: January 1980

Title

Titles differ between systems:

IPC: for measuring distance only

CPC: for measuring distance only (indirect measurement G01S17/46; active triangulation systems G01S17/48)

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Systems using the reflection or reradiation of electromagnetic waves other than radio waves, e.g. lidar systems > Systems using the reflection of electromagnetic waves other than radio waves > Systems determining position data of a target > for measuring distance only

CPC:

Systems using the reflection or reradiation of electromagnetic waves other than radio waves, e.g. lidar systems > Systems using the reflection of electromagnetic waves other than radio waves (G01S17/66 takes precedence) > Systems determining position data of a target > for measuring distance only (indirect measurement G01S17/46; active triangulation systems G01S17/48)

Additional Content IPC

Indirect determination of position data Active triangulation systems, i.e. using the transmission and reflection of electromagnetic waves other than radio waves

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 2 subcodes exist in both systems.

1 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 1980.
