Inventor: HAYNOR DAVID R
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1998-05-08
Abstract: A device to detect the location of a magnet coupled to an indwelling medical device within a patient uses three or more sets of magnetic sensors each having sensor elements arranged in a known fashion. Each sensor element senses the magnetic field strength generated by the magnet and provides data indicative of the direction of the magnet in a three-dimensional space. The device uses fundamental equations for electricity and magnetism that relate measured magnetic field strength and magnetic field gradient to the location and strength of a magnetic dipole. The device uses an iterative process to determine the actual location and orientation of the magnet. An initial estimate of the location and orientation of the magnet results in the generation of predicted magnetic field values. The predicted magnetic field values are compared with the actual measured values provided by the magnetic sensors. Based on the difference between the predicted values and the measured values, the device estimates a new location of the magnet and calculates new predicted magnetic field strength values. The iteration process continues until the predicted values match the measured values within a desired degree of tolerance. At that point, the estimated location matches the actual location within a predetermined degree of tolerance. A two-dimensional display provides an indication of the location of the magnet with respect to the housing of the detector. A depth indicator portion of the display can be used to provide a relative or absolute indication of the depth of the magnet within the patient. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A moving vector predictive coding
method by which the amount of codes
produced for a moving vector is reduced and
the efficiency of the moving vector prediction
is improved; a moving vector decoding
method; predictive coding and decoding
devices; and a recording medium stored with a
moving vector predictive coding and decoding
programs. When a motion compensation mode
for a small block to be coded is a global motion
compensation method, and a coding mode for a
coded small block is an interframe coding
mode, while a motion compensation mode is a
global motion compensation method, a moving
vector of a translation moving model is
determined for each pixel of the coded small
block from the global moving vector (steps S1-S5).
Next, from the moving vector of each pixel
of the coded small block, a representative
moving vector is calculated (step S6) and taken
as a predicted vector. Finally, the prediction error is calculated for each component of the moving vector and then coded (step S7, S8).
