Electronic endoscope device

A CPU included in a video processor detects the type of CCD incorporated in an electronic endoscope actually connected to the video processor on the basis of identification information sent from an incorporated endoscope identification circuit. Moreover, when an optional board is loaded, an optional board detector detects an extension feature to be implemented on the optional board. For example, when the incorporated CCD offers a small number of pixels, restrictions are imposed for fear an enlargement / reduction circuit may perform enhancement based on electronic zooming. Moreover, an indication that the feature is invalid is established. Thus, a user is prevented from performing unnecessary handling. This results in improved maneuverability.

Cardiac ablation catheter with oxygen saturation sensor

InactiveUS20090156921A1Improve accuracyReduces oxygen saturationCatheterSensorsFiberVenous blood
Positioning of the distal end of a catheter at a desired location, for example, in the desired atrium of a patient's heart, can be determined or verified through measurement of blood gas values proximate to the distal end. In one embodiment, an oximeter is used to monitor oxygen saturation, for example, to distinguish between de-oxygenated venous blood and well-oxygenated arterial blood. Optical signals may be transmitted to the distal end of the catheter and received therefrom via optical fibers. Specifically, a catheter (300) has a number of optical fiber ends (308, 310 and 312) disposed at a distal end (304) thereof. A first fiber end (310) transmits the red and infrared optical signals. Fiber ends (308 and 312) are used for detecting reflected optical signals. The optical signals are then processed by a detector and an oximeter instrument to provide oxygen saturation readings that can indicate the position of the distal end of the catheter within the patient's heart or successful penetration of the interatrial septum.

Read-copy update grace period detection without atomic instructions that gracefully handles large numbers of processors

InactiveUS20060123100A1Avoid unnecessary grace period token processingUnnecessary processingData processing applicationsProgram synchronisationPre-existingRead-copy-update
A method, system and computer program product for avoiding unnecessary grace period token processing while detecting a grace period without atomic instructions in a read-copy update subsystem or other processing environment that requires deferring removal of a shared data element until pre-existing references to the data element are removed. Detection of the grace period includes establishing a token to be circulated between processing entities sharing access to the data element. A grace period elapses whenever the token makes a round trip through the processing entities. A distributed indicator associated with each processing entity indicates whether there is a need to perform removal processing on any shared data element. The distributed indicator is processed at each processing entity before the latter engages in token processing. Token processing is performed only when warranted by the distributed indicator. In this way, unnecessary token processing can be avoided when the distributed indicator does not warrant such processing.

Moving image playback device with camera-shake correction function

When a blurring correction is performed when shooting a moving image, a digital camera performs blurring correction on the picked up frames and successively records the frames. Then, when generating a moving image file, the digital camera records information stating that the blurring correction has been performed in the header of the file, thereby preventing the blurring correction from being performed again when the moving image is played back. In addition, in the case that only the blurring detection is performed when shooting the moving image, the digital camera detects the blurring in the frame, correlates the detected blurring amount in the frame with the frame, and successively records the blurring amounts. Then, when generating the moving image file, the digital camera records information stating that the blurring detection has been performed in the header of the file.
