The sensor is designed by a camera manufacturer but outsourced for fabrication to a third party, it is not quite the same as using a sensor from a third party, right? So, most of the camera makers including Fuji, Nikon and now even Canon does the same. In the New patent, Olympus is working to improve the Autofocusing system of the Hybrid sensors. The patent was granted on Feb of this year. We do hope and expect we will see a new generation of Hybrid AF Sensors in Upcoming Olympus Flagship cameras.

Patent Details (Translated)
In an imaging device having a plurality of imaging pixels and a plurality of focus detection pixels in which the position of the opening of the light receiving unit is shifted relative to the imaging pixels,
The focus detection pixels of the first focus detection pixel group including a plurality of focus detection pixels having different positions of the openings, which are shifted in the first direction, correspond to the first color filters of the imaging pixels. Are arranged at the first pixel pitch in the first direction for each focus detection pixel where the position of the opening is different,
The focus detection pixels of a second focus detection pixel group including a plurality of focus detection pixels whose openings are shifted in a second direction different from the first direction and whose positions of the openings are different from the first detection pixels of the imaging pixels. At positions corresponding to second color filters different in color from color filters of 1, each of the focus detection pixels with different positions of the apertures is arranged at the second pixel pitch in the second direction.

We have read that Olympus already reached the physical limits of image stabilization by providing the 6 stops of image stabilization in the recently announced Olympus E-M1 Mark II camera. (Olympus E-M1 Mark II do provide 6 Stops of image stabilization when combined with some specific Olympus OIS lenses.)
That is not it that is not the limit because even after that we have seen patents in which Olympus is actively working to improve the image stabilization inside there cameras that is sensor based image stabilization system. Before we begin let me remind you that just few weeks ago we have published a patent that Olympus is working on hybrid image stabilization system that patent was published on January 19, 2017 .
Now I am going to discuss a patent that was published on August 2017 (more fresh then the previous one). So, this is more new and according to the patent it clearly shows that Olympus is working to improve their 5 Axis image stabilization system may be for Olympus E-M1 Mark III.

Blur correction device
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shake correction device that enables a movable part to be drawn toward a stationary part with appropriate force without weighting the movable part, and enables efficient and stable operation.SOLUTION: A shake correction according to an embodiment has: a first stationary part that includes a magnet; a second stationary part that includes a yoke forming a magnetic circuit between the magnet and the yoke; and a movable part that is arranged between the first stationary part and the second stationary part. A plurality of rolling elements is provided between the first stationary part and the movable part, and the movable part is movable toward a surface direction. The movable part is provided with a coil facing the magnet, a magnetic material constituting a magnetic spring between the magnet and the magnetic material, and a driven member. The magnetic spring generates magnetic suction force that draws the movable part to the first stationary part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Patent Details
CAMERA SYSTEM, BLUR CORRECTION METHOD THEREFOR, CAMERA BODY AND INTERCHANGEABLE LENS
Applicant: OLYMPUS CORPORATION
Pub. Date: Jan. 19,2017
Filed: Jun. 14, 2016
Pub. No.: US 2017/0019600 Al
Description from patent document (Translated from Japanese)
A camera system including an interchangeable lens and a camera body, in which the camera body includes: a Roll blur correction range setting unit that sets a blur correction range in Roll directions of the camera body to be 81 when the interchangeable lens mounted on the camera body cannot perfonn blur correction (in the Pitch directions and the Yaw directions) or that sets the range to be 82 (“,81) when the interchangeable lens can perfonn blur correction; a PitchYaw blur correction range setting unit that sets blur correction ranges in the Pitch and Yaw directions of the camera on the basis of the set blur correction range in the Roll direction; and a blur correction ratio calculation unit that calculates a blur correction ratio of each of the interchangeable lens and the camera body when both of them perform blur correction.
From the patent image (above) you can clearly see olympus is working on improving Lens and camera Image Stabilization correction and calculation unit that is connected to Blur correction Micro Computer.
Olympus is pioneer in making Hybrid IS system based camera and lens units. Olympus E-M1Mark II camera was announced on September 20th, 2016. The IS system working inside the camera is industry best.
