US Patent Issued to Banner Engineering on Sept. 15 for "Time of flight detection systems with efficient phase measurement" (Minnesota Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 15 -- United States Patent no. 12,736,675, issued on Sept. 15, was assigned to Banner Engineering Corp. (Minneapolis).

"Time of flight detection systems with efficient phase measurement" was invented by Ashley Wise (Plymouth, Minn.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Apparatus and associated methods relate to a select frequency phase measurement (SFPM) time of flight (TOF) system including an emitter and a receiver. The emitter may generate a modulated emitted signal by at least one frequency. The emitted signal may, for example, be a pulsed light signal. The receiver may generate a signal in response to receiving a reflection of the emitted signal off a target object. An AD...
