Patents by Inventor Michael Elssner

Michael Elssner has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12621912
    Abstract: An optoelectronic module includes a control element, at least one temperature sensor, and at least one semiconductor emitter unit. The semiconductor emitter unit includes at least a first emitter and a second emitter. The first emitter is intended to emit electromagnetic radiation in a first wavelength range. The second emitter is intended to emit electromagnetic radiation in a second wavelength range different from the first wavelength range. The control element includes a memory unit and a driver output for each emitter. The temperature sensor determines a temperature. Each emitter is assigned a non-linear characteristic curve in the memory unit. The control element is intended to drive the emitters independently of each other by means of a respective driver output. The control element controls the emitters depending on the determined temperature and the respective characteristic curve of the emitter.

  • Publication number: 20210072046
    Abstract: A sensor device for a motor vehicle for detecting an operation by a user, including at least one capacitive sensor which has a sensor electrode, which is coupled to a control and evaluation circuit. The sensor electrode has a primary detection section which extends adjacent to a detection region into which a body part of a user is moved for operation purposes. The sensor electrode is accommodated in a housing which runs, in sections, between the sensor electrode and the detection region. The sensor electrode is provided, in the region of the primary detection section, for increasing the electrical field in sections, with recesses and/or openings which are delimited by edges, so that a length at the limiting edges, which length is increased in relation to a continuous electrode area, is present in the primary detection section.
