Patent number: 11503989Abstract: Provided is an endoscope system including an elongated tube with one or more channels extending in a longitudinal direction along the elongated tube. The channels allow inserting of a viewing device for obtaining images from the distal end, inserting of surgical instruments to operate at the distal end, or passing of materials such as air or water. The channel for inserting the viewing device is enclosed or has a cover at the distal end of the elongated tube, such that the viewing device has no direct contact of body tissues, thereby eliminating the need for sterilization. Also provided is a safe and economical method for conducting endoscopy involving one-time use of a tube to keep the viewing device from directly contacting the body tissues.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: OPCOM INC.Inventor: Chih-Yu Ting

Patent number: 10653305Abstract: An image processing system includes an image sensor receiving light beams to output an output signal corresponding to a horizontal scan period and an image processor electronically connecting to the image sensor and including a signal interceptor and a calculating unit. The image processor transforms the output signal to generate a combining signal. The signal interceptor intercepts a first part of the combining signal corresponding to a first clock period of the horizontal scan period to obtain a first signal and intercepts a second part of the combining signal corresponding to a second clock period of the horizontal scan period to obtain a second signal. The calculating unit calculates the first signal and the second signal to obtain an image pixel data according to a differential calculation. The number of clocks of the first clock period is the same as the number of clocks of the second clock period.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: OPCOM INC.Inventor: Chih-Yu Ting
