Abstract:
A steering tool is movable by a drill string to form an underground bore along an intended path. A sensing arrangement of the steering tool detects its pitch and yaw orientations at a series of spaced apart positions along the bore, each position is characterized by a measured extension of the drill string. The steering tool further includes a receiver. At least one marker is positioned proximate to the intended path, for transmitting a rotating dipole field to expose a portion of the intended path to the field for reception by the receiver. The detected pitch orientation, the detected yaw orientation and the measured extension of the drill string are used in conjunction with magnetic information from the receiver to locate the steering tool. The steering tool may automatically use the magnetic information when it is available. A customized overall position determination accuracy can be provided along the intended path.

Claim (Index 3):
The steering tool of  claim 2  wherein said processing arrangement is further configured to use a distance measurement equation in conjunction with said set of ordinary differential equations with the distance measurement equation representing a distance between said marker and said receiver of the steering tool as part of determining the position of the steering tool.
