Abstract (en)
[origin: US4531412A] An ultrasonic probe for accurately determining angular location includes a rotating mobile assembly with at least one angular location track placed thereon. The angular location track is inscribed with location data arranged in a succession of pulses. As the mobile assembly rotates, the track traces a path in space. A fixed reading unit is provided at a point along the path to read the data inscribed on the track. The read data contains information corresponding to the angular position of the mobile assembly at any given point in time.
