ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,460,953, issued on Nov. 4, was assigned to Renesas Electronics America Inc. (Milpitas, Calif.).

"Method for calibrating linearization function for correcting output of position sensor" was invented by Gentjan Qama (Aschheim, Germany) and Josef Janisch (Ilz, Austria).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for calibrating a linearization function for correcting an output of a position sensor providing a continuous output position signal is described. The method adds a new linearization point to the linearization function by detecting the maximum error at the output of the position sensor and applying the new linearization function to the ou...
