Title: Claus Kaltner - Innovator in Sensor Technology
Introduction
Claus Kaltner is an inventor based in Munich, Germany. He is currently associated with Microchip Technology Germany GmbH II & Co. KG. Although he does not hold any granted patents, he is actively involved in developing innovative sensor technologies.
Latest Patent Applications
Claus Kaltner has submitted several notable patent applications. One of his latest applications is for a "Sensor Device as Well as Method for Proximity and Touch Detection." This sensor device features a first electrode structure and a second electrode structure. The first electrode structure includes a transmitting electrode, a compensation electrode, and a reception electrode. The second electrode structure consists of a field transmission electrode and at least one field sensing electrode. This design allows the first electrode structure to detect the gripping of an electric hand-held device, while the second electrode structure detects the approach of a finger to it.
Another significant application is for a "Method and System for Energy Efficient Measurement of Sensor Signals." This method involves several steps, including receiving a signal packet with multiple sampled sensor signals, determining a signal level, and comparing signal variations with a predetermined noise threshold. If the variations are below the noise threshold, the signal packet is used for further processing. If the variations exceed the threshold, the method sums the signal level and repeats the process until a predetermined number of repetitions is reached, at which point the summed signal level is averaged.
Conclusion
Claus Kaltner is a dedicated inventor focused on advancing sensor technology through innovative applications. His work demonstrates a commitment to enhancing the efficiency and functionality of sensor devices.
