ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 14 -- United States Patent no. 12,680,835, issued on July 14, was assigned to Elobau GmbH & Co. KG (Leutkirch, Germany).

"Method for the measurement of a position of a magnet by means of a sensor arrangement with an increased external magnetic field robustness, taking into account the signal-to-noise ratio" was invented by Roland Butscher (Isny, Germany) and Ulrich Gerhardt (Leutkirch, Germany).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An arrangement has a sensor pair and a magnet mounted to move relative thereto. Magnetic flux density per spatial coordinate per sensor is measured. A non-differential alteration of position of the magnet per the measured magnetic flux density is calc...
