    Abstract: A medical device includes a shaft, a printed circuit board positioned around an outer surface of the shaft, and an end cap. The printed circuit board includes a plurality of electrical connections at a proximal end of the printed circuit board and another plurality of electrical connections at a distal end of the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board includes a plurality of communication conduits connecting electrical connections at the proximal end of the printed circuit board with respective electrical connections at the distal end of the printed circuit board. When the end cap is coupled to the shaft, (1) one or more cap lumens are in communication with one or more lumens in the shaft, and (2) the plurality of end cap electrical connections are electrically connected to the electrical connections at the distal end of the printed circuit board.

    Abstract: A method is provided for enhancing video images in a medical device. The method includes receiving a first image frame and a second image frame from one or more image sensors. The first image sub-blocks are generated by dividing the first image frame. At least one curve to the first image sub-blocks are associated based on one or more look-up tables. A target in at least one of the first image sub-blocks is identified. Second image sub-blocks are generated by dividing the second image frame. At least one curve is associated to the second image sub-blocks based on the one or more look-up tables. The target is identified in at least one of the second image sub-blocks. Histogram enhanced images of the target in the first image sub-blocks and the second image sub-blocks are generated. A video image stream is generated based on the histogram enhanced images of the target.

    Abstract: A medical device includes a sensor, a processor, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing imaging instructions. The sensor captures a first raw image into a first frame of raw pixel values including a plurality of first pixel values that represent pixels of a first color and a plurality of second pixel values that represent pixels of a second color. The sensor captures a second raw image into a second frame of raw pixel values including a plurality of third pixel values that represent pixels of the second color and a plurality of fourth pixel values that represent pixels of a third color. The processor convolves the first frame of raw pixel values with the second frame of raw pixel values to generate a first extrapolated frame of pixel values in a YCrCb format and creates a processed image from the first extrapolated frame of pixel values.

    Abstract: Systems, techniques, and devices are disclosed and may include a first sensor configured to generate a first data stream, a second sensor configured to generate a second data stream, and at least one processor and at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing data stream management instructions. When executed by the at least one processor, the instructions causes the at least processor to receive the first data stream and the second data stream, spread the first data stream using a first code to generate a first coded data stream, spread the second data stream using a second code to generate a second coded data stream, combine the first coded data stream and the second coded data stream to generate a combined data stream, modulate the combined data stream to generate a modulated data stream, and transmit the modulated data stream via a single channel.

    Abstract: A medical device that includes a sensor including a filter array. The sensor is configured to capture a raw image and the filter array is configured to filter the raw image into a frame of raw pixel values including first, second, and third pixel values. The medical device includes non-transitory computer readable medium storing demosaicing instructions that, when executed, causes a processor to exclude the first pixel values from the frame of raw pixel values. The processor generates estimated second pixel values at locations of the excluded first pixel values and the third pixel values on the frame, and generates estimated third pixel values at locations of the excluded first pixel values and the second pixel values on the frame. The processor creates a processed image having a partial-resolution frame from the second pixel values, estimated second pixel values, third pixel values, and estimated third pixel values.
