  • Publication number: 20230213680
    Abstract: A method for localizing an object in the surroundings of an apparatus generating a stray magnetic field, wherein the object has a sensor arrangement including at least one magnetic field sensor, the method comprising: ascertaining at least one item of object information based on (i) stray-field information describing the spatial profile of the stray magnetic field at least within a region and (ii) at least one measured value measured with the sensor arrangement describing a location-dependent property of the stray magnetic field, the at least one item of object information describing at least one of the position or orientation of the object in the region.

  • Publication number: 20130113503
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for measuring the location of a particle beam (10) present in packets in a linear accelerator comprising a hollow chamber structure (4) in which an electromagnetic wave oscillating at a base frequency (f0) is generated in order to accelerate the particles, wherein an electrical measurement signal (M) generated by the particle beam (10) by means of electromagnetic interaction with the measurement recorder (16) is recorded by at least one measurement recorder (16) disposed in the hollow chamber structure (4), said signal being a function of the distance between the measurement recorder (16) and the particle beam (10). According to the invention, the measurement signal (M) is analyzed in a frequency range different from the base frequency (f0) and higher natural frequencies of the hollow chamber structure (4), comprising a whole multiple of the base frequency (f0).
