    Abstract: A portable hand-held medical device includes a body having a gun-type formation that includes a barrel. A guide wire device is housed in the body and is configured to advance and retract through the barrel. The guide wire device carries a bundled arrangement including a video system, an illumination system to support the video system, a fluid irrigation line, and a guide wire mechanism. The bundled arrangement is packaged as a unit in an insertion tube. The tip section of the insertion tube incorporates a camera, a light source, and a fluid irrigation port. A catheter is disposed at the end of the barrel, so that during operation the guide wire device passes through the catheter lumen. The combination guide wire device and catheter enter the urinary tract and perform a bladder evacuation process.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for training a neural network to determine an elastic property of a target issue region. A first training set is generated to include a plurality of sets of images. Each set of images includes a first speckle image of the target issue region at rest and a second speckle image of the target issue region being deformed by a known force. The neural network is trained in a first stage using the first training set. A second training set is generated to include the first training set and one or more sets of images having an elastic property value incorrectly determined after the first stage of training. The neural network is trained in a second stage using the second training set.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses an all-round observation under-actuated capsule robot and an axis rolling-over locomotion method thereof by magnetic field control. A radially magnetized NdFeB magnet ring is loaded into an inner cavity of a capsule sphere in a non-connected way, and the NdFeB magnet ring independently idles with the rotating magnetic field around a capsule axis and is completely suspended in the inner cavity filled with silicone oil in the capsule sphere. Under the drive of a coaxial following magnetic moment, the under-actuated capsule sphere cannot rotate around the capsule axis, but the capsule axis can roll synchronously with the rotation axis of the magnetic field. The present invention increases the scanning range of the capsule, enhances environmental adaptability, and has high accuracy of fixed point posture adjustment of the capsule, rolling locomotion stability, good visual observation effect and good application prospect.

    Abstract: A lens position control device is a lens position control device that controls a position of a variable magnification lens of a zooming optical system provided at an endoscope and includes a DC motor with a brush that generates a drive force for changing the position of the variable magnification lens, a drive circuit that drives the DC motor with a brush by repeating an application state where a drive voltage is applied between a pair of terminals of the DC motor with a brush and a release state where the terminals are released from each other, and a processor that controls the position of the variable magnification lens based on a time-integrated value of a counter-electromotive force generated at the DC motor with a brush in the release state.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a biological body imaging system and an optical inspection device. The biological body imaging system includes a first lens set, a second lens set, a third lens set, and a fourth lens set that all have a positive focal power and are sequentially arranged from an object side along a same optical axis. The first lens set includes a second lens, the second lens set includes a fourth lens and a fifth lens, the third lens set includes a sixth lens, and the fourth lens set includes a seventh lens and an eighth lens. A combined focal length f1 of the first lens set and a conjugate distance T satisfy 0.15≤f1/T≤0.18, a combined focal length f4 of the fourth lens set and the combined focal length f1 of the first lens set satisfy 1.8≤f4/f1≤2.2, and a focal length f41 of the seventh lens and a focal length f42 of the eighth lens satisfy −1≤f42/f41≤−0.8. The present invention ensures clarity of the biological body image, especially during long-distance transmission.
