ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,298,396, issued on May 13, was assigned to STMicroelectronics (Grenoble 2) SAS (Grenoble, France).
"Flicker frequency estimate" was invented by Giovanni Scozzola (Saint Egreve, France).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for estimating a flicker frequency of a light source includes: obtaining, with a time-of-flight sensor, a profile of a light signal emitted by a light source; performing spectral analysis on the profile of the light signal emitted by the light source; and estimating a flicker frequency of the light source based on the spectral analysis of the profile of the light signal emitted by the light source."
The patent was fi...
