    摘要: A multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator includes a flexible tube having a plurality of flex portions provided therealong, a plurality of actuators made of shape memory alloy and respectively provided near the flex portions to correspond to the flex portions, for flexing the flex portions, two common energy transmission paths, extending along the flexible tube, for transmitting an energy to the actuators, and selective energy supply members, provided between the common energy transmission paths and the actuators in series, for controlling the energy supplied from the common energy transmission path to the actuators, thereby respectively independently driving the actuators to bend the flexible tube. The manipulator is made by forming electronic circuits in a plurality of regions on a semiconductor substrate, forming wiring regions to connect the electronic circuits with flexible wiring portions, and removing a region of the semiconductor substrate other than a region thereof on which the electronic circuits are formed, thereby forming an actuator controlled chip array, used in the manipulator.

    摘要: The position controlling apparatus of this invention is to curve an endoscope insertable part or a catheter and is provided with an actuator having a shape memorizing alloy body. The shape memorizing alloy body is heated or cooled by a driving appartaus and the actuator is displaced by such heating or cooling. The difference between the actual displacement of the actuator driven by the driving apparatus and the objective displacement of the actuator is output by a comparing means which operates the driving apparatus on the basis of this difference. A resistance value detecting circuit detects the resistance value of the shape memorizing alloy body varying when the shape memorizing alloy body is heated or cooled. The detected value detected by the resistance value detecting circuit is input into a controlling apparatus which controls the driving apparatus on the basis of the detected value and the preset used temperature range of the shape memorizing alloy body.

    摘要: A treatment apparatus for removing a coagulum such as a calculus or the like produced in an organism by dissolving it comprises irrigation with a medical fluid by using an irrigation pump and suction of the medical fluid by using a suction pump. In this apparatus, when a switch for stopping treatment is operated, the apparatus is not immediately stopped, but the apparatus is stopped after the medical fluid introduced into the organism has been completely discharged so that no medical fluid harmful to the organism remains in the organism.
