Coded mark inversion

Do you know how people use different colors to help keep things organized? For example, you might use a red pen to mark important things, a green pen to mark things that need editing, and a blue pen for everything else.

Coded mark inversion is kind of like that, but with electronic signals instead of different colored pens.

When devices send signals to each other (kind of like how you talk to your friends), it's important that those signals are easy to understand and don't get mixed up. Coded mark inversion helps with this by changing the way the signals are sent.

Usually, electronic signals are sent using something called binary code. This just means that everything is expressed as "1's" and "0's." But sometimes, these signals can get mixed up and it's hard to tell what's what.

Coded mark inversion solves this problem by changing the way the 1's and 0's are sent. Instead of just sending a "1," for example, the device will send a pattern of signals like this: 1 0 0 1. This pattern is easy to recognize, and it tells the other device that a "1" is being sent.

But here's the really cool thing - when the next "1" is sent, it won't look the same. Instead, it will be sent as the opposite pattern: 0 1 1 0. This change is called the "coded mark inversion."

By constantly changing the way the signals are sent, devices can communicate more clearly with each other and make sure that important information isn't lost or mixed up.

So, coded mark inversion is kind of like using different colored pens to keep things organized, but instead of colors, it uses patterns of signals to help devices talk to each other more clearly.
