Patent number: 11811569Abstract: A sensor includes a sensing element to produce a sensing element signal and a processor responsive to the sensing element signal to generate a sensor output signal comprising a Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT) frame. The SENT frame includes a Status and Communication (SCN) nibble comprising a bit 0 and a bit 1 that represent a status of at least one internal diagnostic indicator and a plurality of data nibbles. At least one of the plurality of data nibbles includes a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), the CRC being an encoding of the bit 0 and the bit 1 of the SCN nibble and the plurality of data nibbles and at least one of the plurality of data nibbles includes a count that indicates a new frame, the CRC being at least a five bit value.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2020Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Allegro MicroSystems, LLCInventors: Florencia Ferrer, Jesse Lapomardo, Lucas Intile

Publication number: 20220239462Abstract: A sensor integrated circuit (IC) includes a sensing element configured to sense a parameter associated with a target, a processor coupled to the sensing element and configured to generate a sensed signal indicative of the parameter associated with the target, and an output module coupled to receive the sensed signal. The output module is configured to transmit absolute data on a message line at a first rate and transmit incremental data on one or more index lines at a second rate, wherein the second rate is faster than the first rate, wherein the incremental data comprises data associated with changes in the absolute data and wherein an edge or a pulse is used to indicate an incremental change has occurred in the absolute data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2022Publication date: July 28, 2022Applicant: Allegro MicroSystems, LLCInventors: Emanuele Andrea Casu, Cédric Gillet, Nicolás Rigoni, Florencia Ferrer, Andreas P. Friedrich, Emil Pavlov

Patent number: 11280129Abstract: A window with multiple elements which are suitable for installation in a building exterior wall as part of designing and/or retrofitting building facades is disclosed. The building structure comprises one or more movable members movably attached to a frame member where the frame member is secured in a wall opening. The building structure may further comprise a sash member attached to the one or more movable members. The connection of these members may be such that an enclosure is created when the building structure is in an extended or open position.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Inventor: Aldana Florencia Ferrer Garcia

Patent number: 11221203Abstract: In one aspect, a magnetic field sensor includes a magnetic field sensing element configured to detect changes in a magnetic field caused by a target and an encoder configured to process signals originating from the magnetic field element. The encoder is configured to generate a first output signal and a second output signal. In a non-fault state, the first and second output signals are 90 electrical degrees out of phase from one another, and in a fault state, the first and second output signals are in phase with each other.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2020Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Allegro MicroSystems, LLCInventors: Florencia Ferrer, Jesse Lapomardo, Lautaro Casella, Lucas Intile
