US Patent Issued to SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES on March 24 for "Time-of-flight sensing system" (Slovene, Slovenian Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 24 -- United States Patent no. 12,585,018, issued on March 24, was assigned to SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES LLC (Scottsdale, Ariz.).

"Time-of-flight sensing system" was invented by Marko Mlinar (Horjul, Slovenia).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A time-of-flight (TOF) sensing system may include an illumination module and a sensor module. The sensor module may include an array of sensor pixels, each sensor pixel configured to perform multiple measurements to generate corresponding pixel data for a TOF sensing operation. Signal processing circuitry may generate phase data based on the pixel data. Phase denoise circuitry in the signal processing circuitry may perform d...
