摘要： An in-vivo image acquiring system includes a capsule endoscope which is introduced into the inside of a subject to acquire an in-vivo image of the subject and a receiving apparatus for receiving the in-vivo images of the subject from the capsule endoscope through receiving antennas. The capsule endoscope transmits the in-vivo images of the subject taken successively at a time interval corresponding to function or feature of the capsule endoscope. The receiving apparatus calculates a time interval of the in-vivo images received successively from the capsule endoscope and identifies the in-vivo images depending on the function or feature of the capsule endoscope based on a calculated time interval.

摘要： In order to restore synchronization quickly in the case where synchronization with a transmission signal is not established, when a synchronization signal is not received by an antenna selected in advance in a receiving apparatus (2), a selection controller (C2) continuously switches between antennas (6a to 6h), repeats an antenna switching process for measuring received strengths of the respective antennas in a cycle shorter than a transmission period of transmission information in a radio signal so as to detect an antenna with maximum strength, selects and switches to the detected antenna with maximum strength as a receiving antenna for receiving synchronization information, and continues the connection until at least the synchronization information is received. Further, the selection controller (C2) makes a control so that the antenna switching process for detecting the antenna with maximum strength is repeated for a period longer than a non-transmission period of transmission information.

摘要： Driving force of a bending motor is transmitted to a sprocket via a clutch mechanism portion. The operation of a switching operation lever switches the clutch mechanism portion to a disconnecting/restoring status. A bending control device includes a bending angle calculating portion which calculates information on a bending status based on an output signal of a potentiometer, a motor driving signal generating portion which generates a driving signal for bending a bending portion, a JS-motor driving signal generating portion which calculates a position for an instructing status of a stick portion based on the information on the bending status and generates the driving signal for moving the stick portion to the position, and a calibration instructing portion which receives a position signal from a status detecting switch and which sends an instruction for outputting to a JS motor, the driving signal generated by the JS-motor driving signal generating portion. With the above construction, the calibration operation is easily performed in a freely bending status.
