Publication number: 20220395347Abstract: A system for detecting disposal of metallic objects into an opening of a medical waste container, including: an indicator for indicating passage of metallic objects through the opening, a pair of receive coils and a transmit coil spaced therebetween shaped for receiving waste therethrough adjacent to the opening, and a controller in electrical communication with the coils. The controller generates and communicates a transmit signal to the transmit coil, which generates a magnetic field that induces voltage in each of the receive coils, which each generate a receive signal. The controller generates a waveform based on the receive signals with a baseline corresponding to absence of metallic objects, and analyzes the waveform with respect to opposite first and second thresholds. The controller activates the indicator in response to metallic objects passing through the coils when the waveform first exceeds the first threshold and then subsequently exceeds the second threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Applicant: Stryker CorporationInventors: Bruce D. Henniges, Christopher Philipp, Andrew Lee Wallner, Erik Vaclav Chmelar, Jeffrey Lee Vanoss

Patent number: 8866495Abstract: The specification discloses a simple and effective system for tracking position and rotation of an object or portable device located within an electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field may be produced by a primary coil, which inductively couples with one or more secondary coils located within a portable device. The relative strength of this inductive coupling may be used to determine the position, rotation, or both of the portable device relative to the primary coil.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2010Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Access Business Group International LLCInventors: David W. Baarman, Joshua K. Schwannecke, William T. Stoner, Jr., Scott A. Gauche, Ryan Joseph Nussbaum, Nicholas J. VanderStel, Jeffrey Lee VanOss
