Abstract: An intrabody introduced device comprising: a power storage section for supplying driving power to a function executing section; a detecting section for detecting a supply voltage of the power storage section; and a timing output section for outputting a detection signal for use in detecting the supply voltage using the detecting section at given timing. The detection timing of the supply voltage can be controlled in this manner, and therefore the supply voltage can be detected at timing at which the load of function executing section is low, thereby enabling efficient voltage detection. For example, if the aforementioned timing is synchronized with the blanking period of a picked-up image, a stable voltage measurement is enabled at timing at which the intrabody introduced device applies a low load.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compact imaging apparatus. A memory in which one-line data is temporarily stored is provided between an analog processing system and a digital processing system. The analog processing system performs a series of processing from obtaining a pixel signal with an image pickup element to conversion of the pixel signal into digital data, and the digital processing system performs signal processing of the digital data into predetermined imaging data. A controller exclusively controls a one-line analog system operation performed by the analog processing system and a one-line digital system operation performed by the digital processing system. The controller operates the analog processing system with a maximum-speed clock which is possessed by the analog processing system, and the controller operates the digital processing system with a clock corresponding to a frequency determined by a bandwidth of a transmission system which transmits the imaging data. The controller turns on power source supply necessary for the operation of the analog processing system in performing the analog system operation f1 of the analog processing system, and the controller turns off the power source supply necessary for the operation of the analog processing system in performing the digital operation f2 of the digital processing system.

Abstract: An intra-subject position display system for displaying a position of an intra-subject device, which is introduced into a subject and moves therein, wherein a relative position of the intra-subject device to an outer surface of the subject is detected and displayed. The position of the intra-subject device is displayed in a relation with the outer surface of the subject. Thereby, it is possible to easily determine in which site of the subject the intra-subject device exists. The present invention is effective to recognize a position of, for example, a capsule type endoscope or a test capsule therefor in the subject (e.g., a human body). To recognize the outer surface of the subject, for example, a plurality of radio devices are arranged on the outer surface of the subject and their radio signals are analyzed.
