摘要:
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.

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.

A receiving apparatus is for receiving radio signals including image information transmitted by a mobile transmitting device through a plurality of receiving antennas. The receiving apparatus includes a plurality of frequency converters for outputting modulated signals obtained by converting respective radio signal received through the plurality of receiving antennas by different modulation frequencies; a superposing unit for superposing each of the modulated signals generated by the plurality of frequency converters on a frequency axis; a cable with a single coaxial cable where each of the modulated signals superposed by the superposing unit is transmitted; and a receiving unit for demodulating each modulated signal input through the cable to receive and output the image information.

In transmitting images picked up by an intrabody introduced device to outside a test body, synchronizing signals of the image signal are set to signal patterns in the same high-frequency band as for the image signal and not used for the image signal. This enables a receiver to stably binarize the synchronizing signal and thus to acquire favorable image signal. For example, in a clipping circuit provided in a signal processing circuit in a capsule type endoscope (an example of an intrabody introduced device), image information of a high-intensity portion is clipped out of image information acquired by an imaging section and a pattern generation circuit allocates signal patterns within the clipped intensity range as horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals.

An intra-subject device is introduced into a subject to acquire information of the interior of the subject and has a lighting member to output an illuminating light for illuminating the interior of the subject and an imaging member to acquire an image of the interior of the subject. The intra-subject device also has a parameter memory to store a parameter for canceling a noise contained in color information of the image. The intra-subject device also has a radio-transmitting section that radio-transmits the image information, to which the parameter stored in the parameter memory is added.

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.

摘要:
A protection circuit 26c detects a voltage at a point A on an electric-power supply path from a battery 29 to an intra-capsule function executing circuit 30. When the voltage at the point A becomes smaller than a predetermined threshold value (a predetermined midpoint potential), the protection circuit 26c performs a switching control of a switch element 26a, connects the battery 29 to a resistive load 26b, stops supplying driving power to the intra-capsule function executing circuit 30 and at the same time enables to supply electric power to the resistive load 26b, and prevents a false operation of a circuit at the midpoint potential by exhausting the electric power stored in the battery 29 by the resistive load 26b.
