Patent number: 10835116Abstract: A video laryngoscope system includes an imager, an audio processing circuitry, a light source, an exposure controller, and a line gain module. The imager generates a first frame and a second frame of a plurality of video frames using a rolling shutter. The audio processing circuitry determines a base frequency of a vocalization based on an audio signal. The light source generates pulses of light based on the base frequency. The exposure controller adjusts a duration and position in time of the pulses based on the base frequency during the first and second frames. The line gain module selectively applies a line gain to at least a portion of the first frame and a portion of the second frame based on a gap time between the first frame and the second frame and the duration and position in time of the pulses.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: KARL STORZ Imaging, Inc.Inventors: Pieter Henderikus Andries Bos, Timothy King

Patent number: 10602917Abstract: Still image display of a recent video image of tissue as a reference still image prior to a switch in the mode of illumination of the tissue. The still image is displayed concurrently with live video of the tissue under a different mode of illumination, to facilitate discrimination between healthy and diseased tissue, and further facilitate therapeutic intervention. The reference still image may be displayed either as an insert (picture-in-picture), side-by-side, or the like concurrently with the live video image. In some embodiments, when a practitioner switches a light source from “excitation-light” to “white light”, the “excitation-light” video may be frozen/captured and displayed as a reference still image as a PIP, and the “white-light” live video is displayed concurrently. When the source is switched again, the “white-light” video may be frozen/captured and displayed as a reference still image, and the “excitation-light” live video is displayed concurrently.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2013Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Karl Storz Imaging, Inc.Inventor: Timothy King

Patent number: 10602918Abstract: Still image display of a recent video image of tissue as a reference still image prior to a switch in the mode of illumination of the tissue. The still image is displayed concurrently with live video of the tissue under a different mode of illumination, to facilitate discrimination between healthy and diseased tissue. When a practitioner switches a light source from a “first light” to a “second light”, the second light video may be frozen/captured and displayed as a reference still image as a PIP, and the second light live video is displayed concurrently. The second light can be infrared and/or near infrared light. The second light can include structured light to project a structured light pattern to facilitate structure measurements. The second light source is configured with a numerical aperture greater than the first light source.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2014Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Karl Storz Imaging, Inc.Inventors: Timothy King, Klaus-Martin Irion, Werner Goebel
