  • Patent number: 7442166
    Abstract: A disposable two-step endoscope for examining human organs includes an image capturing and transmission device and a cable that may be disconnected. The image capturing and transmission device includes a body, luminous devices, an optical image capturing device, a wireless transmission device and an internal power supply. The cable transmits the electric power outside and signals. The luminous device projects light on the human organs. The optical image capturing device captures organ images. The wireless transmission device transmits the organ images outside the human body. The internal power supply provides electric power for signal transmission after the cable and the image capturing and transmission device are separated.

  • Publication number: 20070260146
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an in vivo spectrometric inspection system. The system of the present invention is encapsulated in a swallowable capsule. After a testee swallows the capsule, an optical system inside the capsule generates a light source to illuminate an object. The light source hits the object to excite a light, or the light source is partially absorbed and partially reflected by the object. The excited light or the reflected light is received by the optical system and sent to a spectrometric system also inside the capsule. The spectrometric system disperses the wavelength components of the excited light or the reflected light into spectra, and then, the spectrometric system further analyzes the spectra to obtain a spectrum data. The spectrum data is sent out to the exterior of the testee body by a data-transmission device and received by an external receiver system.
