ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,460,928, issued on Nov. 4, was assigned to NEC Corp. (Tokyo).
"Low-cost high precision barometric pressure measurement system" was invented by Sarper Ozharar (Pennington, N.J.), Ting Wang (West Windsor, N.J.), Yue Tian (Princeton, N.J.) and Yangmin Ding (East Brunswick, N.J.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Disclosed are systems and methods to determine barometric pressure 1) using multiple low-cost pressure sensors located at known heights instead of a single high-cost sensor; 2) determines an actual pressure value-not by averaging multiple sensors but rather optimizing an expected error in each individual one of them and utilize their kno...
