  • Position and orientation measuring with magnetic fields
    Patent number: 6427079
    Abstract: Splines of magnetic field values are used by a processor to determine location parameters in a remote location determination system. The location determination system is used on a laser catheter that is operable to perform myocardial revascularization. An automatic calibration technique compensates for any variations in gain in a sensor and related components. Methods for reducing the effects of eddy currents in surrounding conductive objects are used in electromagnetic position and orientation measurement systems.
