US Patent Issued to Sensors UnLtd. on June 16 for "Time-of-flight distance compensation threshold ramp driver" (New Jersey Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,656,466, issued on June 16, was assigned to Sensors UnLtd. Inc. (Princeton, N.J.).

"Time-of-flight distance compensation threshold ramp driver" was invented by Christopher Freeman (Ringoes, N.J.), Michael W. Delamere (Pennington, N.J.) and John Liobe (Newton, N.J.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A time-of-flight sensor threshold circuit outputs a threshold voltage to a time-of-flight sensor, the threshold reducing over the duration of a time-of-flight measurement, which reduction can occur continually during the measurement. The circuit is provided with an initial threshold voltage portion to set the threshold voltage corresponding to a s...
