Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Compensation of temperature effects in a sensor system." This invention involves methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating a first light wave by an emitter of the sensor system and detecting a second light wave by a detector of the sensor system. The second light wave is detected in response to the first light wave being reflected from a target object. The sensor system includes a first converter that obtains a first temperature measurement from a temperature sensor of the sensor system at least when the first light wave is generated or when the second light wave is detected. A temperature controller computes temperature coefficients to regulate the temperature of the sensor system. Each of the temperature coefficients is computed based on a difference between the first temperature and a reference temperature. The temperature controller generates a control signal to regulate the temperature of the sensor system based on the computed temperature coefficients.

Another significant patent is "Gain correction in signal processing circuitry." This method of processing an analog signal includes receiving, into signal processing circuitry from compensation circuitry, an offset compensation signal. The offset compensation signal has a polarity opposite to that of a gain error of the signal processing circuitry and a magnitude equal to a nominal compensation value plus a deviation. The method includes generating, by the signal processing circuitry, an output signal based on an analog signal received into the signal processing circuitry, including applying the offset compensation signal to an intermediate signal generated by the signal processing circuitry. The method also includes scaling the output signal based on the deviation between the magnitude of the offset compensation signal and the nominal compensation value.
