摘要:
The present invention describes a hands-free system for controlling the movement of a cursor on one or more display devices. A tracking device including a traceable marker and one or more accelerometers and gyroscopes are used to track position and acceleration of the marker relative to a target of interest. A processing means processes the motion signals from the tracking device to determine the location of the cursor on the operator's monitor, which may also be displayed on more monitors. The tracking device is worn by the operator, optimally on the operator's head. The operator's head movements determine movement of the cursor.

A medical robotic system includes an entry guide (200) with surgical tools (231, 241) and a camera (211) extending out of its distal end. To supplement the view provided by an image captured by the camera, an auxiliary view including articulable arms of the surgical tools and/or camera is generated from sensed or otherwise determined information about their positions and orientations and displayed on a display screen (140) from the perspective of a specified viewing point. Intuitive control is provided to an operator with respect to the auxiliary view while the operator controls the positioning and orienting of the camera.

An insertion apparatus (1) includes, an inserting section which is formed along a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end side toward a distal end side, a base tube which is provided to be rotatable around a longitudinal axis of the inserting section, and includes a spiral fin spirally provided along the longitudinal axis of the inserting section, a motor (150) which rotates the base tube, a motor control section (2042) which supplies a motor current to drive the motor, and controls driving of the motor (150), and a torque limit determining section (2045) which determines whether torque of the motor is in a limit state by comparing a moving average or an effective value of the motor current with a predetermined torque limit set value.
摘要:
A modular video imaging system, and more particularly, a modular video imaging system having a control module connectable to multiple input modules. The input modules each capable of receiving differing types of image data from different types of cameras and processing the image data into a format recognizable by the control module. The control unit providing general functions such as user interface and general image processing that is not camera specific.

A light source apparatus includes a laser light source configured to emit laser light to illuminate an object, a light receiving section configured to output a light detection signal corresponding to a light quantity of at least part of the received laser light emitted from the laser light source, a calculation processing section configured to output either a calculated value obtained by integrating, for a predetermined time period, values resulting from multiplying detection values of the light detection signals by a correction coefficient or a calculated value obtained by multiplying values resulting from integrating, for a predetermined time period, detection values of the light detection signals by a correction coefficient, a determining section configured to determine whether or not the calculated value is equal to or less than a threshold, a light source control section configured to control the laser light source based on the determination result obtained by the determining section, and an adjustment coefficient calculating section configured to calculate an adjustment coefficient for adjusting the correction coefficient in response to a change in loss produced in an optical transmission line along which the laser light emitted from the laser light source is emitted to the object.
摘要:
An intubation device for use in an endotracheal intubation procedure, the intubation device including: a laryngoscope blade having a tip and a base; a handle attached to the base of the blade for allowing the intubation device to be held in a hand of a user; a channel for receiving an endotracheal tube, the channel including a blade channel portion extending along the blade substantially from the tip to the base and including an outlet proximate to the tip for allowing a distal end of the endotracheal tube to be advanced from the outlet and a handle channel portion extending partially along the handle from the blade channel portion; and a tube movement mechanism in the handle for moving the endotracheal tube through the channel to thereby advance the endotracheal tube, the tube movement mechanism including a thumb interface for allowing the user to operate the tube movement mechanism using a thumb of the hand that is holding the intubation device, to thereby allow the user to hold the intubation device and advance the endotracheal tube in an endotracheal intubation procedure using a single hand.

An operation device for an into-bore introduction device, includes: a grasping section connected to a proximal portion of an insertion section to be inserted into a bore, and grasped by an operator to operate the insertion section; a bending operation knob disposed on the grasping section and bending a bending portion of the insertion section; a projecting portion formed to project from the grasping section in a radial direction to a longitudinal axis of the grasping section, in a surface between a surface on which the bending operation knob is disposed and a surface on which operator's palm abuts to grasp the grasping section, in the grasping section; a pressing switch disposed on the projecting portion and that operates the insertion section; and an inclined surface formed distantly by as much as a predetermined distance from the pressing switch, and in which an amount of the inclined surface to project outside in the radial direction is decreased on an insertion section side of the projecting portion.
摘要:
The invention relates to a handle for an endoscope, comprising a grip section (18) onto which a receiving housing (26) is moulded, preferably integrally, in which electrical and/or electronic components of a communication device are housed, and on the outer face of which a control panel (16) for actuating a separate operating station connected to the endoscope by connection ports is arranged, preferably in the form of a keyboard or touch screen, and electrically connected to said communication device. According to the invention, the receiving housing (26) and the control panel (16) are sealed so as to be outwardly fluid-tight, and as a result the handle (14) is suitable for wet cleaning, preferably in an immersion method.
