Abstract

The disclosed invention provides apparatus, systems, and methods for moving an object in an enclosed area using a magnetic dipole deployed in the enclosed area and thereafter applying an external rotating magnetic field for applying a rotational force to the dipole along one or more selected axis. The external magnetic field is moved to manipulate object in the desired direction(s) of movement.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates to the use of magnetic fields for the orientation and movement of remote objects. More particularly, the invention relates to systems and methods for orienting and moving a remote object having a magnetic field by using a rotatable magnetic field external to the object.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The deployment of relatively small probes or sensors for performing tasks in confined, inaccessible, or remote spaces is useful in several contexts. For example, it is known in the arts to use wireless capsules for collecting images by equipping them with cameras, or for delivering doses of medication to general areas of the digestive system by equipping them with drug reservoirs. The currently available wireless capsules used in the medical field are carried by peristalsis through the digestive tract. In non-medical applications, a probe capsule may be carried by fluid flow and / or gravity through a system of piping or tubing. Such approaches ...
