Abstract: A system for controlling a display of image data is presented including a first imaging unit for capturing a first set of images and a second imaging unit for capturing a second set of images. The system also includes a display unit configured to display the image data in a picture-in-picture mode, such that the display unit displays the first set of images in a first panel having a first size and the second set of images in a second panel having a second size, where the first size is greater than the second size.

Abstract: Trenches (and processes for forming the trenches) are provided that reduce or prevent crystaline defects in selective epitaxial growth of type III-V or Germanium (Ge) material (e.g., a “buffer” material) from a top surface of a substrate material. The defects may result from collision of selective epitaxial sidewall growth with oxide trench sidewalls. Such trenches include (1) a trench having sloped sidewalls at an angle of between 40 degrees and 70 degrees (e.g., such as 55 degrees) with respect to a substrate surface; and/or (2) a combined trench having an upper trench over and surrounding the opening of a lower trench (e.g., the lower trench may have the sloped sidewalls, short vertical walls, or tall vertical walls). These trenches reduce or prevent defects in the epitaxial sidewall growth where the growth touches or grows against vertical sidewalls of a trench it is grown in.

Abstract: An endoluminal crawler used in endoscopic procedures includes a body and an actuation unit. The body includes a tubular portion. The actuation unit includes an actuator providing a rotational output and a traction belt. The traction belt includes a traction portion and an engaging portion. The traction portion protrudes out of a slot defined in the tubular portion and the engaging portion operatively engages the actuator.

Abstract: Methods of forming hetero-layers with reduced surface roughness and bulk defect density on non-native surfaces and the devices formed thereby are described. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a substrate having a top surface with a lattice constant and depositing a first layer on the top surface of the substrate. The first layer has a top surface with a lattice constant that is different from the first lattice constant of the top surface of the substrate. The first layer is annealed and polished to form a polished surface. A second layer is then deposited above the polished surface.
