US Patent Issued to Analog Devices on Aug. 26 for "Bridge-based impedance sensor system" (California, New Hampshire Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 26 -- United States Patent no. 12,399,203, issued on Aug. 26, was assigned to Analog Devices Inc. (Wilmington, Mass.).

"Bridge-based impedance sensor system" was invented by Isaac Chase Novet (Escondido, Calif.) and Steven J. Decker (Sandown, N.H.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An impedance sensing circuit includes three impedance elements and a sensing element arranged in a bridge configuration. A first input terminal is coupled to two of the impedance elements to apply a stimulus signal. In a mutual-sensing mode, a second input terminal is coupled to the third impedance element and the sensing impedance element to apply an opposite phase stimulus signal. The impedance ...
