Patent number: 10912454Abstract: The present specification describes a system and method for computing the temperature of the tip of a multiple viewing elements endoscope based on a measurement of junction temperatures of light emitting diode (LED) illuminators inside the tip. The measurement of temperature is used for taking corrective action if the temperature exceeds a limit. The temperature measurement is used for optimizing image parameters, as the performance of image sensors is affected by changes in ambient temperature.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Inventors: Itay Sidar, Tal Davidson, Achia Kronman, Yaniv Kirma, Yuri Gershov, Golan Salman

Patent number: 9907462Abstract: The present specification discloses an endoscope having a tip section equipped with multiple viewing elements. Each of the viewing elements' field of view is illuminated by a discrete illuminator, such as a LED, being operated in a flash mode. The flash mode of operation of the LEDs enable doctors to obtain a position of the endoscope tip within a patient's body from outside by viewing the light emitted by the LEDs. Since the light is emitted for short pre-defined periods of time, the heat generated by the LEDs during their periods of operation is within a safe threshold value, and does not cause any burn injury inside the patient's body.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2016Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: Endochoice, Inc.Inventors: Yaniv Kirma, Yuri Gershov, Avi Levy, Golan Salman
