  • Endocoupler with induction coupling
    Patent number: 11045070
    Abstract: Endoscopic systems and methods that provide wireless power transmission from a camera head to at least one solid-state light source housed in an endoscopic device. The endoscopic systems and methods employ a multi-stage electromagnetic induction coupling mechanism that can wirelessly transfer power from the camera head to an endocoupler, as well as from the endocoupler to the solid-state light source, while allowing axial rotational motion of at least the camera head, the endocoupler, and/or the endoscopic device relative to one another.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 24, 2020
    Date of Patent: June 29, 2021
    Assignee: SMITH & NEPHEW, INC.
    Inventors: Gheorghe Mihalca, Baoduy Tran, David Sonnenshein
  • Video endoscopic system
    Patent number: 10783626
    Abstract: Image data representing an image captured by a video endoscopic device is converted from a first color space to a second color space. The image data in the second color space is used to determine the location of features in the image.
