Abstract:
1. A self-controlled imaging device completely disposed within an associated human body comprising: a membrane defining an internal cavity and being provided with a window; a lens disposed in relation to said window; a light source and a projection device disposed in relation to said lens for providing illumination to outside of said membrane through said window; an imaging array disposed in relation to said lens, wherein images from said lens impinge on said imaging array; a transmitter disposed in relation to said imaging array for transmitting a signal from said imaging array to an associated transmitter outside of said device, and wherein said lens, said light source, said projection device, said imaging array, and said transmitter are enclosed within said internal cavity; a superconductor filter disposed anywhere along a length of said device completely within said membrane of said device and enclosed within a cryogenic chamber formed by low noise superconductor amplifiers; and an antenna that receives a signal from said device, said antenna disposed on one side of said cryogenic chamber spaced from said superconductor filter and completely enclosed within said membrane of said device, wherein said superconductor filter comprises HTS strips which are enclosed within said cryogenic chamber formed by said low noise superconductor amplifiers.
