    摘要： Wireless capsule endoscope technology has been used to image portions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, particularly the small bowel. However in other GI organs, especially those having larger-lumens, the capsule may become destabilized and tumble, precluding meaningful interpretation of the acquired images. The present invention describes a method and apparatus for permitting capsule imaging of organs having larger-lumens without tumbling, and includes an outer shell surrounding the capsule that targets the colon, as an example. Once the colon has been reached, the shell breaks or dissolves, and allows expansion of expandable materials attached to each end of the capsule, thereby stabilizing the capsule in the targeted organ, while permitting it to be moved by peristalsis and/or other means for locating the capsule. Imagers and light emitting diodes (LEDs) are activated during the expansion process, and enable overlapping of images. The capsule is moved through the colon, taking images at chosen frame rates with data being wirelessly transmitted by means of an RF transmitter, and is eventually expelled from the body.

    摘要： There is described a pipe apparatus having two circular coaxial layers, inner and outer, defining an annular gap therebetween. At least one segmentation ring with a predesigned opening is placed within the annular gap. The pipe system is composed of interconnected pipe apparatuses of the same type. Compact wireless stations are embedded in the segmentation rings within sealed predesigned openings forming a wireless information and communication network (WICN). Each segmentation ring incorporates a pressure relief mechanism. When a layer of a given pipe apparatus breaks and fluid leaks into the annular gap in a given segment, the segmentation rings surrounding that segment temporarily retain the fluid and the WICN is disturbed in the affected area. At least one external central unit monitors WICN activity and integrity inside the pipe system and detects such leakage, before the leak spreads to another segment of the pipe system, without reaching the outside environment.

    摘要： The present invention provides an external apparatus that allows automated quantification of the quality of the endoscopy procedure and methods for using the same. The apparatus of the invention includes an endoscope tracking device that is operatively connected to an endoscope cord surface so that a variety of information related to movement of the endoscope can be accurately captured. Exemplary movement information include, but are not limited to, distance travelled by the endoscope, direction of movement by the endoscope, torque exerted by the endoscope, etc. The endoscope tracking device comprises an electromechanical tracking sensor(s) that produce movement information of the endoscope including the ratio of forward and backward movements as well as withdrawal time of the endoscope. As these metrics can be obtained automatically, the apparatus and the method of the present invention can be used as a quality control in daily medical practice. Furthermore, the apparatus and the method of the invention can be used to create or determine best practice standards for endoscopy procedure training or as part of medical skills evaluation.
