摘要:
A body-insertable apparatus that is used in a state of being introduced inside the body of a subject and that executes a predetermined function inside the body of the subject, comprises a driving controller that controls the driving condition of the predetermined function.
摘要:
A capsule endoscope 3 as an example of a body-insertable apparatus includes a battery 100, a control information detecting circuit 31 to which driving power is supplied from the battery 100, a system control circuit 32, and a driving controller 34 that is arranged between the battery 100 and the control information detecting circuit 31 and the system control circuit 32. The driving controller 34 controls driving of the control information detecting circuit 31, the system control circuit 32 or the like based on a temperature detected by a temperature sensor unit 33, thereby preventing actuation of the capsule endoscope 3 outside the body of a subject.

An in-body information acquiring apparatus includes a function executing unit that realizes a predetermined function inside a body of a patient. A power-supply circuit includes a power unit that includes a cell and that outputs a first current and a first voltage; and a converter that converts the first current to a second current, which is a current required to operate the function executing unit for a predetermined time, and converts the first voltage to a second voltage, which is a voltage required to operate the function executing unit.

摘要:
In a capsule endoscope illuminating units are disposed around an image capturing unit in such a manner that an optical axis of the illuminating units do not intersect with an optical axis of the observation unit, and illumination areas of the illuminating units overlap at substantially a central portion of an image capturing area of the image capturing unit.
摘要:
A capsule endoscope includes a storage unit that stores signal processing data necessary for signal processing specific to an imaging device of a capsule endoscope, and a transmitting unit that transmits the signal processing data stored in the storage unit. Besides, a capsule endscope system includes the capsule endoscope and a receiver which receives the signal processing data transmitted from the transmittting unit. The capsule endoscope does not perform signal processing specific to the imaging device but the receiver performs signal processing specific to the imaging device based on the received signal processing data.
摘要:
A communication apparatus (3) arranged outside a subject (1) has an external device (32) which sequentially transmits control signals. A capsule endoscope (2) is introduced inside the subject (1). Thereafter, a system control circuit controls a driving of an intra-capsule function executing circuit so as to start driving at a previously set given time, by supplying driving power to the intra-capsule function executing circuit to control the driving thereof based on a result of detection by a control-signal detecting circuit which is provided in the capsule endoscope (2) and which detects a discontinuous state of input of the control signals. Thus, a collection and transmission of images inside the subject can be performed accurately.

Thus, a collection and transmission of images inside the subject can be performed accurately.In addition, a transmitting unit generates and transmits a communication confirmation signal to the communication apparatus. In response, a receiving unit receives a communication permission signal from the communication apparatus. A communication controller determines whether to transmit in-vivo information or not based on the state of reception of the communication permission signal.
摘要:
At startup, a main CPU renders and copies various types of unique parameters stored in an SRAM card corresponding to an ID unique to endoscopes to DPRAM and SDRAM and enables the endoscopes to be used with these parameters. Also in the event of desiring to change the set parameters, the user requests a change via an HM, whereby the changed parameters are copied to the SDRAM via the DPRAM, and electrically-operated curving actions of the endoscope can be performed with the changed parameters.
摘要:
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.
