摘要:
A laryngoscope comprising a handle and a blade is provided. The blade is hingedly articulated to the handle between an open position wherein it projects outwardly from a top end of the handle, and a closed position wherein it lies in registration therewith. The laryngoscope further comprises an electric light source and a power source selectively electrically connected thereto for providing electric power for its operation. The blade comprises a power source compartment at the proximal end, containing therewithin the power source. The laryngoscope further comprises a switching arrangement configured to electrically connect between the electric light and power sources when the blade in its open position, and electrically separate between the electric light source and power source when the blade in its closed position. The handle comprises a depression for accommodating therein at least a portion of the blade when in its closed position.

An endoscope system of one aspect includes a probe including a CMOS image sensor or sensors, and a conductor or conductors for transmitting an image signal outward from the CMOS image sensor or sensors. The system also includes a connector system including one or more integrated circuits and/or connectors, receiving a signal from the CMOS image sensor or sensors and processing that signal. The system also includes a sensor power supply for the CMOS image sensor or sensors, and a remainder power supply for the remainder of the endoscope system. Other endoscope systems, angiographic systems, devices, and methods associated therewith are also disclosed.

A controller (100) for a 3D observation apparatus performing 3D observation based on parallax using a plurality of optical systems includes the following sections. A start time acquisition section (104) obtains a start time when energization of the 3D observation apparatus is started. An interrupted time acquisition section (102) obtains an interrupted time when previous energization of the 3D observation apparatus is interrupted. A non-active time calculation section (106) calculates a non-active time which is a period of time between the interrupted time and the start time. A determination section (108) determines whether or not misalignment correction to correct misalignment of optical axes of the optical systems is necessary based on the non-active time.

An imaging device, an endoscope, an endoscope system, and a method for driving an imaging device capable of reducing power consumption are provided. The imaging device includes: a first chip 21 having a plurality of pixels that generates and outputs an imaging signal; a transmission cable 3 connected to the first chip 21 and configured to propagate the imaging signal; a terminating resistor 51 provided at a terminal of the transmission cable 3, including an alternating current terminating resistor 502 with variable resistance and a direct current terminating resistor 501 with variable resistance, and having a constant combined resistance of the direct current terminating resistor 501 and the alternating current terminating resistor 502, and a control unit 55 configured to perform control to make a resistance of the direct current terminating resistor 501 during a blanking period in which the first chip 21 does not output the imaging signal higher than that during the normal operation period in which the first chip 21 outputs the imaging signal, so that current output by the first chip 21 is suppressed.

An insertion apparatus includes a control mode switching section switching to a first control mode based on generation of a first operation command and switching to a second control mode based on generation of a second operation command. The insertion apparatus includes a first drive control section controlling a drive state of a drive member in such a manner that a rotary unit rotates toward a first periaxial direction with a first rotation amount during a reference time having a predetermined length in the first control mode, and a second drive control section controlling the drive state of the drive member in such a manner that the rotary unit rotates toward the second periaxial direction with a second rotation amount smaller than the first rotation amount during the reference time in the second control mode.
