Historical Context of Gray Code
Gray code, also known as reflected binary code, was patented by Frank Gray in 1953 while working at Bell Labs. It was primarily developed to prevent spurious output during transitions in electromechanical systems. Unlike standard binary representation, Gray code ensures that only one bit changes at a time between successive values, reducing errors in mechanical switches and digital encoders.
Fun Fact
Gray code is widely used in rotary encoders found in robotics, industrial automation, and even volume knobs. Its single-bit change property significantly reduces misread signals caused by physical misalignment or electrical noise.
