Vermont Patent of the Month – November 2025
A new patent reveals a breakthrough in high-speed motion tracking technology. The invention directly tackles the persistent problem of data latency and signal interference. This innovation is crucial for applications demanding precise, instantaneous position and orientation data. The U.S. Patent No. 12481063, titled ‘Low latency adaptive filter’, was recently granted, marking a significant step forward in electromagnetic tracking.
Advanced Tracking for Real-World Applications
The system employs a unique apparatus and method. It uses an adaptive filter to refine tracking measurements from an electromagnetic field. This greatly enhances data quality and reduces processing delay. The filter minimizes noise caused by conductive materials, such as metals. Traditional electromagnetic systems struggle with such interference. The new method ensures exceptionally reliable position and orientation (PnO) reporting. This performance boost is essential for professional simulations.
Enhancing Simulation and Training
The technology holds major implications across several industries. It improves the accuracy of medical training devices. Surgical simulation, for instance, requires zero lag time for realistic feedback. It also benefits immersive virtual reality environments. The tracking systems developed by Polhemus are widely used in military and research fields. This patent solidifies their commitment to innovation, delivering faster, more stable tracking solutions for critical tasks worldwide.

What is the R&D Tax Credit?
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit (or R&D Tax Credit), is a general business tax credit under Internal Revenue Code section 41 for companies that incur research and development (R&D) costs in the United States. The credits are a tax incentive for performing qualified research in the United States, resulting in a credit to a tax return. For the first three years of R&D claims, 6% of the total qualified research expenses (QRE) form the gross credit. In the 4th year of claims and beyond, a base amount is calculated, and an adjusted expense line is multiplied times 14%. Click here to learn more.
