Abstract: Data compression optimization based on client clusters is described. A system identifies a cluster of similar client devices in a group of client devices, by comparing data compression factors that correspond to each client device in the group of client devices. The system identifies a relationship between data compression factors corresponding to the cluster and data compression ratios corresponding to the cluster. The system identifies a client device, in the cluster, which corresponds to a data compression ratio that is inefficient relative to other compression ratios corresponding to other client devices in the cluster. The system outputs a data compression recommendation for the client device, based on data compression factors corresponding to the client device and the identified relationship between the data compression factors corresponding to the cluster and the data compression ratios corresponding to the cluster.

Abstract: Systems and methods of enhancing images use a contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) algorithm in a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The images may be obtained by the imaging elements of a multiple imaging elements endoscope of an endoscopy system.

Abstract: A system for detecting the location of an endoscopic device inside a patients' body comprises an endoscope assembly with an insertion tube having a set of codes indicative of an insertion depth and a rotational direction of the endoscopic device and a detector to detect the set of codes and calculate the location information. The images captured by the endoscopic device are automatically tagged with corresponding location information. Optionally, the endoscope assembly further comprises a system for generating three dimensional images and videos without increasing the number of cameras. Optionally, the endoscope assembly further comprises a system having a plurality of sensor devices for generating a real time image map of an endoscopic tip portion traversing a lumen. Optionally, the endoscope assembly further comprises a special garment for colonoscopy patients to preserve the modesty of the patients and to protect a physician from spraying fecal matter.

Abstract: A multi-focal, multi-camera endoscope having a tip section including a first optical assembly for generating a first image of a body cavity; a second optical assembly for generating a second image of a body cavity; at least one illuminator associated with each of the first optical assembly and second optical assembly; and a processing system configured to: zoom the first optical assembly and thereby generate a zoomed first image in place of the first image; and automatically cause a physical display to eliminate a display of the second image and to only display said zoomed first image. To eliminate the display of the second image, the processing system reduces a power supply to the second optical assembly, reduces an illumination intensity of an illuminator associated with the second optical assembly or causes the physical display to power off, darken, or blacken.

Abstract: Embodiments include detecting anomalies in an IT environment using model competition and business patterns by collecting time series data for events for the network including devices and interfaces. An analytics module uses competing time series models with customizable business patterns to find the best fit model. It analyzes the residuals of the best fitting model to find the outliers relative to normal zone data points. A user may classify a detected outlier as normal, in which case, the tracking and investigation mechanism suggests alternate business patterns to be matched against this outlier. A user interface displays a dashboard to present the user with anomalies in the chosen time series, such as in interactive graphical format.

Abstract: Endoscopes having a tip section with viewing elements coupled to a CMOS image sensor and/or a CCD image sensor for transforming light captured by the viewing element into digital and/or analog signals are described. A main connector is coupled with the tip section for transmitting the signals to a main control unit of the endoscope. The main connector includes a pad for transmitting digital signals provided by the CMOS image sensor to a push pin probe in a receptacle of the main control unit. The main connector also include another interface for transmitting analog signals to the main control unit.

Abstract: An image sensor with multiple pixel arrays is adapted to receive and process imaging data captured through multiple viewing elements oriented in different directions. Each pixel array is configured to receive the imaging data captured by a different imaging device oriented in an associated direction. Employing a single image sensor for multiple cameras leads to efficient design layout and optimal use of chip space. The image sensor is used in an endoscope system comprising multiple viewing elements, such as front and side facing cameras.

Abstract: The insertion tube of an endoscope is equipped with an array of pressure sensors that provide real-time information of the pressure exerted by the insertion tube as it passes through a patient's body during an endoscopic procedure. Pressure information may be displayed in real time, wherein regions of high pressure are highlighted. An alarm is generated when the pressure applied at any location inside the patient's body exceeds safe limits. Further, sensors may be placed along the length of the insertion tube for measurement of distance travelled by the tip of an endoscope, which is integrated with measurement of the force applied by a physician in maneuvering the endoscope to determine applied force at a given location.
