ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 26 -- United States Patent no. 12,399,294, issued on Aug. 26, was assigned to Studio 1 Labs Inc. (Markham, Canada).

"Projected dielectric sensor for matter detection, proximity detection, and gesture control" was invented by Edward Sup Shim (Toronto) and Marouane El Kamel (Drancy, France).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods for a projected dielectric sensor comprising a first conductive path with a first conductive mesh, a second conductive path with a second conductive mesh, and a dielectric gap between them. The dielectric gap functions as an open circuit in a resting state, offering a broader detection range compared to traditional sensors. The sensor in...
