Enrico Rosario Alessi

Enrico Rosario Alessi is an inventor based in Catania, Italy. He has an impressive portfolio of 18 patents to his name, which is a testament to his dedication and creativity in the field of inventions and innovations.

One of his latest patents is a method of countering contamination in gas sensors, corresponding circuit, device and computer program product. In this invention, a sensor is driven at a first heating power value. The sensor generates a sensing signal that is indicative of a sensed entity. A possible onset of a sensor contamination condition is detected as a function of the sensing signal generated by the sensor. If such detecting fails to indicate the onset of a sensor contamination condition, the sensor continues to be driven at the first heating power value. However, if such detecting indicates the onset of a sensor contamination condition, a protection mode is activated. In the protection mode, the sensor is driven at a second heating power value for a protection interval, where the second heating power value is lower than the first heating power value. Furthermore, the operation may refrain from supplying power to the sensor for a further protection interval, wherein the further protection interval is longer than the protection interval.

Another invention by Enrico Rosario Alessi is a method of powering sensors, corresponding circuit and device. This invention involves reducing power consumption in portable devices, including providing a sensor producing a sensing signal indicative of sensed entity and powering the sensor. Powering the sensor includes providing a first power value for a first time interval, providing a second power value for a second time interval, the second power value being different from the first power value, and discontinuing powering for a third time interval.

Enrico Rosario Alessi has worked with some reputable companies in the industry such as STMICROELECTRONICS S.R.L. and STMICROELECTRONICS PTE LTD. Some of his coworkers include Fabio Passaniti and Giuseppe Spinella.

In conclusion, Enrico Rosario Alessi is a brilliant inventor and innovator whose contributions have helped to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of various devices. His latest patents demonstrate his ability to come up with solutions to complex issues, and his experience working with reputable companies further proves his expertise in the field.
