Title: Thomas Höppler: Optical Sensor Calibration Innovation.

Introduction

Thomas Höppler is an inventor associated with Jena, Germany. His patent work addresses the characterization and calibration of optical sensor chips, helping make sensor data more accurate and easier to use.

Latest Patents

Höppler is named on 1 patent: “Method of Characterizing an Optical Sensor Chip, Method of Calibrating an Optical Sensor Chip, Method of Operating an Optical Sensor Device, Optical Sensor Device and Calibration System.”

The invention describes recording sensor response data in a defined, standardized environment, such as a production line, rather than supplying each optical sensor as an already calibrated unit. The data can be collected for each device and linked to its unique chip identification number. A dedicated calibration algorithm can then be tailored to the sensor or chip, with both the response data and algorithm made available using the chip ID.
