  • Publication number: 20170236093
    Abstract: An assigned endoscope information holding unit holds preferential endoscope information on an endoscope to be preferentially assigned to a doctor. An endoscope assignment unit determines an endoscope to be assigned to an endoscopic examination, based on the preferential endoscope information held in the assigned endoscope information holding unit and the information on a doctor of an endoscopic examination that the examination schedule management unit manages. A history recording unit records usage history information on an endoscope used in the performed endoscopic examination, and a display processing unit displays the usage history information on a plurality of endoscopes in a comparable format.

  • Patent number: 5546236
    Abstract: A wide-angle photographic lens system comprising a front lens unit having a positive refractive power, an aperture stop and a rear lens unit having a positive refractive power or a negative refractive power; the front lens unit comprising at least one positive lens component and at least one negative lens component, whereas said rear lens unit consisting of a positive lens component having a convex surface on the image side. This photographic lens system has a short total length (a length as measured from a first surface to an image side surface of the lens system and a small value of .SIGMA.d (a distance as measured from the first surface to a final surface thereof), and is suited for use with collapsible mount type cameras.

  • Patent number: 5483381
    Abstract: A reversed Galilean finder optical system includes the first lens unit with a negative refracting power and the second lens unit with a positive refracting power. The second lens unit consists of a single positive lens in which the refracting power of the surface on the pupil side is higher than that of the surface on the object side. At least one surface of the positive lens is aspherical. Thus, the reversed Galilean finder optical system is constructed as the finder which has compact design and good performance.
