A voltage-boosting dc-to-dc converter that maintains a substantially constant output power into certain loads despite changes in input supply voltage, and whose output power is easily changed. The chamber includes a first mask and a second mask that share a common central axis. The orientation features enable the sensing device to determine a planar orientation of each tag relative to a yaw of the sensing device. In general, in accordance with the systems and methods of the present disclosure, a Code is applied to a distributed sensor as part of the compressive sampling technique and derives the functions.
