US Patent Issued to Infineon Technologies on July 22 for "Inductive torque sensor for rotating shifts" (Austrian Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,366,491, issued on July 22, was assigned to Infineon Technologies AG (Neubiberg, Germany).

"Inductive torque sensor for rotating shifts" was invented by Udo Ausserlechner (Villach, Austria).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The described techniques are directed to inductive torque sensors that implement independent target coil and pickup coil systems. By utilizing the various principles of inductive angle sensors, and as a result of the specific physical arrangement of target coils, the inductive torque sensor may independently obtain a rotational position (i.e., mechanical angle) of the rotatable input shaft via one pickup coil system, and ...
