ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,381,455, issued on Aug. 5, was assigned to Apple Inc. (Cupertino, Calif.).

"Haptic power control techniques for haptic systems" was invented by Juil Lee (Pleasanton, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Haptic power control techniques provide improved power control for the haptic generator to reduce deficiencies of operation and/or increase performance of the haptic generator across various thermal conditions. In some examples, a first resistance measurement can be obtained and used for estimating an actuation voltage limit for the haptic generator. In some examples, estimating the actuation voltage limit for the haptic generator using t...
