  • Publication number: 20260069114
    Abstract: A method may generate, by the medical device system, a first image of a body cavity from the first optical assembly and a second image of the body cavity from the third optical assembly. A method may simultaneously displaying, by the medical device system, the first image and the second image on the physical display. A method may cause the composite optical assembly to transition from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation, wherein the second mode of operation deactivates the first optical assembly and activates the second optical assembly. A method may generate, by the medical device system, a third image from the second optical assembly. A method may automatically causing the physical display to eliminate a display of the second image by the medical device system, wherein eliminating the display of the second image is enabled by cutting off or reducing power of a power supply of an imager of the third optical assembly or powering off a portion of the physical display.

  • Patent number: 12495959
    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.

  • Patent number: 12310555
    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.

  • Publication number: 20250160674
    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.

  • Patent number: 11520667
    Abstract: Information technology resource forecasting based on time series analysis is described. A system creates multiple forecasts for an information technology resource by applying corresponding multiple time series models to first data associated with the information technology resource. The system selects a model of the multiple time series models by comparing the multiple forecasts for the information technology resource to second data associated with the information technology resource. The system outputs a forecast that is created by applying the selected model to third data associated with the information technology resource.
