Patent number: 8184148Abstract: A capsule endoscope 3 is inserted into a subject and transmits a capsule ID, which is received by an RF receiving unit 11 of a receiving apparatus 2. A capsule ID detecting circuit 19 detects the capsule ID. A control unit C recognizes a type of the capsule endoscope 3 based on the detected capsule ID, and changes over a threshold of received field strength of a receiving antenna. Thus, a content of processing for the capsule endoscope 3 is changed over, and a selection controller C1 selects a receiving antenna for an image receiving period from receiving antennas A1 to An.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2006Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Olympus CorporationInventors: Toshiaki Shigemori, Manabu Fujita, Ayako Nagase, Akira Matsui, Kazutaka Nakatsuchi

Patent number: 8175559Abstract: The present invention is intended to be able to ensure detecting whether an open-circuit occurs to a feeder within short time with simple configuration. A receiving apparatus 2 according to the present invention receives image information transmitted from a capsule endoscope 3 through a coaxial cable and a receiving antenna selected and switched to from among coaxial cables 9a to 9d connected to receiving antennas 8a to 8d, respectively by a changeover switch 20. The receiving apparatus 2 includes a changeover switch 22, an open-circuit detecting circuit 23, and a control unit 26. The changeover switch 22 branches the coaxial cables 9a to 9d near the changeover switch 20, and selects and switches to one of the branched coaxial cables.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2006Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignees: Olympus Corporation, Olympus Medical Systems, Corp.Inventors: Masatoshi Homan, Ayako Nagase, Seiichiro Kimoto, Kazutaka Nakatsuchi, Manabu Fujita, Akira Matsui, Toshiaki Shigemori

Patent number: 8131030Abstract: Each of detecting circuits 36a, 36d, 36f, and 36h detects a key signal such as a horizontal synchronization signal, a vertical synchronization signal, a capsule ID, a WB coefficient, and error information, i.e., a key signal superposed on RF signals received by an RF receiving unit 33. Each of determining units 36b, 36c, 36e, 36g, and 36i determines whether an image is valid or invalid based on the result of detection. A recording deciding unit 36k decides whether to record the image information in a storage unit 35 or not based on the result of determination. Thus, a receiving apparatus 3 can stop recording the image information received when a trouble occurs, thereby preventing defective images from mixing into the recorded image information, and preventing a recorded image size from becoming large, whereby necessary images can be recorded within a predetermined examination time.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2005Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Olympus CorporationInventors: Manabu Fujita, Toshiaki Shigemori, Seiichiro Kimoto, Ayako Nagase, Akira Matsui, Kazutaka Nakatsuchi

Patent number: 8002693Abstract: A condition for determining that an examination by a capsule endoscope 3 (body insertable device) completes is set in advance. When a predetermined time period has passed since the examination starts, and when received electric-field strength of receiving antennas A1 to An detected during a predetermined time period is not higher than a predetermined value, the examination is determined to have been completed. An examination completion determining unit C1 determines whether the condition is satisfied or not. According to the result of determination, a notification controller C2 makes a notifying unit 15 notify that the examination completes, and a power supply controller C3 stop power supply to a radio unit 2a. Thus, unnecessary power consumption is prevented and the completion of the examination by the body insertable device is recognized.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2006Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignees: Olympus Medical Systems Corporation, Olympus CorporationInventors: Toshiaki Shigemori, Manabu Fujita, Ayako Nagase, Akira Matsui, Kazutaka Nakatsuchi

Patent number: 7738507Abstract: The network relay device of the invention carries out data transmission to and from an opposite device to relay data in a network. The network relay device includes: multiple ports connecting with corresponding multiple ports of the opposite device via multiple links; and a link aggregation control module that aggregates the multiple links to establish a link aggregation, which is regarded as one logic link, and carries out transmission of a control frame signal including a synchronization bit, as well as data transmission, at each port via the link aggregation. In response to detection of occurrence of a trouble in at least one of the aggregated multiple links, the link aggregation control module causes a port that connects with a normal link without the trouble among the multiple ports to stop the data transmission and send the control frame signal including the synchronization bit set equal to a first value.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2008Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Hybrid Network Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masashi Suzuki, Manabu Fujita, Hiroyuki Isogai, Shinji Nozaki
