Abstract

In a method of interpreting coded information carriers, a plurality of magnetic elements supported by, or incorporated in, a substrate, are interrogated. The relative positions and/or physical dimensions of the magnetic elements represent the information encoded by the information carrier. The relative positions and/or physical dimensions are determined from the relative velocity between an interrogating signal and each of the magnetic elements.
