- FIGS. 5A-5B illustrate generally examples of force relationships between three types of electromagnets and two types of fixed rare-earth magnets in a setup that replicates a proposed configuration for supporting instruments inside an abdominal cavity.
- FIG. 6 illustrates generally an example of a relationship between an attraction force of two fixed magnets across varying separation distances through air and through tissue, as shown in Park et al, Trocar-less Instrumentation for Laparoscopy. Annals of Surgery Volume 245, Number 3, March 2007..
- the electromagnet and fixed magnet configurations of FIGS. 5 A and 5B can provide control of the attractive force between the electromagnets and the fixed magnets. However, in certain examples, control can vary from approximately 25% at close distances, up to 100% at large distances, due, at least in part, because certain unpowered electromagnets produce little to no measurable attractive force at distances larger than 0.5". In an example, this relationship can be illustrated using a comparison of the information in FIGS. 5 A and 5B with FIG. 6. Additionally, the electromagnet and fixed magnet configurations of FIGS. 5A and 5B supply about 33% of the force illustrated by the fixed magnets shown in FIG. 6.
- the strength of the magnet configurations of FIGS. 5 A and 5B can be increased by reconfiguring the fixed magnet into a loop configuration to reduce the line distance of the flux lines through air (e.g., using a horseshoe type magnet, as opposed to a disk magnet, such as that used above), or by improving the electromagnet design.
- the first magnetic field source 105 can include or be coupled to an intracorporeal apparatus and the first object 110 can include an external apparatus.
