ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM, CONTROL DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD OF CONTROL DEVICE
An endoscope system includes a light source that emits illumination light, an image sensor that captures an image of an object toward which the illumination light is emitted, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine whether a fluid is present in the object. If the fluid is not present in the object, the processor switches to a first observation mode in which to illuminate the object by first illumination light. If the fluid is present in the object, the processor switches to a second observation mode in which to illuminate the object by second illumination light. The second illumination light includes is larger than the first illumination light in a relative ratio of long wavelength components.
APPARATUS FOR TREATING OBESITY
An apparatus for treating obesity in a human or animal mammal patient. The apparatus comprising a first volume filling device segment and a second volume filling device segment. The first and second volume filling device segments are adapted to be assembled into an implantable volume filling device of a controlled size. Each one of the first and second volume filling device segment comprises at least one interconnecting structure. The interconnecting structure of the second volume filling device segment is adapted to be formed fitted, such that the first and second volume filling device segment can be assembled into the volume filling device. The assembled volume filling device is adapted to be at least substantially invaginated by a stomach wall portion of a patient, with the outer surface of the device resting against the stomach wall, such that the volume of the food cavity is reduced in size.
ENDOSCOPE WITH REUSABLE OPTICAL AND ELECTRICAL DISTAL ASSEMBLY
An endoscope that includes an elongated bougie, a distal tip at a distal end of the bougie and a handle at a proximal end of the bougie. The distal tip has a camera, an LED light, and a distal tip housing forming a distal tip chamber. The endoscope also has an electronic connector, such as a PCB board connector, having at least one PCB board, and at least a portion of the PCB board is nestled within the distal tip chamber. The PCB board connector is disposed between the distal tip and the distal end of the elongated bougie when being assembled. The distal tip and the PCB board connector are attached into one integral distal assembly by removable attaching means, such as a pair of snap fit hood and holder. The integral distal end assembly is configured to be cut from the old bougie used in a medical procedure and to be collected and later disassembled, sterilized, and reassembled with another new bougie.
IMAGE CAPTURING MODULE, ENDOSCOPE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING IMAGE CAPTURING MODULE
An image capturing module includes a flexible circuit board and an image sensor. The flexible circuit board includes a plurality of first pads and a plurality of second pads. The first pads are disposed on a first surface of the flexible circuit board and the second pads are disposed on a second surface of the flexible circuit board, wherein the first surface is opposite to the second surface. The image sensor is disposed on the first surface. A distance between the image sensor and the first pads is identical to a distance between the image sensor and the second pads. The flexible circuit board is folded to align and weld the first pads with the second pads, such that a light receiving surface of the image sensor is perpendicular to surfaces of the first and second pads.
Dental bridge fitting system
The dental bridge fitting system is a medical device. The dental bridge fitting system is configured for use in measuring the oral surface contours of a patient. The measurements taken by the dental bridge fitting system allow for the fabrication of a dental prosthetic device, such as a bridge, that fits flush on the oral surface that was measured by the dental bridge fitting system. The dental bridge fitting system comprises a mouthpiece, a plurality of capture devices, an image processor, and a master processor. The mouthpiece contains the plurality of capture devices. The plurality of capture devices, the image processor, and the master processor are electrically interconnected.
