  • Publication number: 20180153385
    Abstract: An ingestible image scanning pill captures high resolution images of the GI tract as it passes through. Images communicated externally have exact location determination. Image processing software discards duplicate information and stitches images together, line scan by line scan, to replicate a complete GI tract as if it were stretched out in a straight line. A fully linear image is displayed to a medical professional as if the GI tract had been stretched in a straight line, cut open, laid flat out on a bench for viewing—all without making any incisions in a live patient.

  • Publication number: 20180039061
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed to share images observed through an optical device and display data through the optical device. An input/output device may be positioned in an optical path of the optical device. The input/output device may include a beam splitter to redirect a portion of a beam of light traveling along the optical path of the optical device to an imaging device. The beam splitter may also combine the beam of light with another beam of light generated by a display device.

  • Patent number: 7505193
    Abstract: A spatial light modulator may be adapted to receive bi-directional drive signals. The spatial light modulator may include a plurality of pixel elements having individual first electrodes and a common electrode providing a second electrode for each of the pixel elements. The pixel elements may be adapted to change between a first state and a second state in accordance with signals applied thereto, and the bi-directional drive signals may include at least a first drive signal and a second drive signal. Both drive signals are applied to change the pixel elements from the first state to the second state and from the second state to the first state.
