Automatic Determination of the Position of an Object
First Claim
1. A method for analyzing magnetic fields or signals used for determining the position of an object, the method comprising:
- generating, by two or more conductors, two or more temporal shifted magnetic signals or fields, the two or more conductors being at least partially or completely separate arranged from each other;
capturing, by at least one and preferably three preferable orthogonal arranged sensors, the magnetic fields generated consecutively by the conductors; and
determining information for the determination of the position of the object bearing said sensors relatively to the conductors from the captured signals.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for analysis of magnetic fields or signals used for the determination of the position of an object, wherein two temporally to each other shifted magnetic signals or fields are generated by two conductors arranged at least in part or completely separated from each other. The magnetic fields generated by the conductors are consecutively being captured by at least one and preferably three sensors arranged orthogonally to each other and determining from the captured signals information for determining the position of the object carrying the sensors relative to the conductors.

9. An arrangement of at least two electrical conductors, wherein:
-
the conductors are placed parallel to each other, in particular, standing horizontally to each other; both conductors are adapted to generate a magnetic field, each of the at least two conductors being connected to a current source; and at least one end of each of said at least two conductors, which is averted to the connection with the current source is electronically connected to grounding means. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
