Abstract: A video data communication system for transmitting ultra-high definition video or three dimensional video stream over a packet switched network, including: an input receiving or obtaining plural high definition video streams representing a part of the ultra-high definition video stream or three dimensional video stream; a packet switched network transmitting at least part of the plural high definition video streams in parallel from a transmitter to a receiver; a receiver receiving the plural high definition video streams after the transmission over a packet switched network; a videogenlocker for generating a clock for the received high definition video streams and for synchronizing the received high definition video streams; and a combiner combining the synchronized received high definition video streams into a received ultra-high definition video stream or three dimensional video stream.

Abstract: A video communication system comprising at least one video data transmission unit for sending or receiving video data over a data network is disclosed, as well as a corresponding video data transmission method. The transmission unit comprising an image acquiring circuitry or an image reconstruction circuitry for acquiring or reconstruction an image frame or image field, a video processing unit for processing at least part of the video data and a communication unit for sending or receiving at least part of the data. At least two of the image acquiring circuitry or image reconstruction circuitry, the video processing unit and the communication unit are arranged for simultaneously handling different parts of a same image frame or image same field of the video data.

Abstract: A multiple viewpoint endoscope system having a multiple viewpoint camera setup and/or an intelligent or cognitive image control system and display device particularly adapted for localizing internal structures within a cavity or an enclosing structure, such as an animal body, for instance the abdomen of an animal or human, or for localizing a real or synthetic image of such internal structures within an overview image or on an overview 3D model.

Abstract: By present invention it has been found that hypothermia decreases adhesion formation more specifically pneumoperitoneum-enhanced adhesion formation. A cooling system has been designed to reduce the peritoneal cavity temperature during surgery, while maintaining at all times a 100% relative humidity in order to prevent desiccation, and a regulatory unit designed to condition the insufflated gas to achieve this while minimalising the necessary cooling. This is a new method for more effectively preventing adhesion though cooling while preventing desiccation. In mice it was demonstrated that factors such as environmental temperature, anaesthesia, ventilation and pneumoperitoneum can be used to influence body temperature in order to prevent adhesion formation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel endoscope or an optical large view endoscopic system with improved depth perception. In particular, a multiple viewpoint endoscope system comprising a multiple viewpoint camera setup and/or an intelligent or cognitive image control system and display device particularly adapted for localising internal structures within a cavity or an enclosing structure, such as an animal body, for instance the abdomen of an animal or human, or for localising a real or synthetic image of such internal structures within an overview image or on an overview 3D model.
