Patent CA-2321488-C (CA)
Inventor: BURDICK JOEL W
IPC: A61B1/055
Filed: 1999-02-19
Granted: 2008-02-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé améliorés permettant une vision endoscopique à angle variable dans une cavité, telle qu'une cavité interne d'un patient. L'appareil comprend une partie tubulaire allongée, pourvue d'un oculaire à son extrémité proximale et d'un ensemble réflecteur à son extrémité distale. L'ensemble réflecteur comprend un premier et un second réflecteurs, le second réflecteur étant monté rotatif de façon à permettre sa rotation autour d'un axe généralement aligné avec une partie de chemin optique, allant du premier réflecteur au second. L'oculaire est, de préférence, une caméra montée rotative sur l'appareil. Un dispositif de rotation commande la rotation du second réflecteur et de la caméra, de sorte que la rotation du second réflecteur provoque la rotation correspondante de la caméra. L'ensemble permet donc une vision quasi sphérique sans nécessiter un déplacement sensible de l'endoscope.

Abstract: Un système permettant de fournir un accès direct automatisé à un fournisseur de services d'information en ligne grâce à une adresse incorporée dans un programme vidéo ou audio, un message publicitaire, ou la présentation d'une nouvelle. Le système fonctionne avec des programmes audio ou vidéo qui sont reçus par le biais des médias de diffusion, câble ou préenregistrées, et qui sont codés dans les formats analogiques ou numériques. L'adresse d'un fournisseur d'information en ligne est codée dans un intervalle de suppression verticale ou dans une autre partie non affichée d'un signal électronique qui représente le programme vidéo ou audio, de façon à ne pas interférer avec le programme tel qu'il est affiché, ou encore, l'adresse est transduite sur un système de télévision ou un système audio. L'adresse du fournisseur d'information en ligne est détectée et décodée à partir du signal électronique et utilisée pour établir une liaison de communication numérique directe avec le fournisseur d'information en ligne. Lorsqu'une adresse de fournisseur en ligne est détectée, le système indique à l'utilisateur que des informations supplémentaires sont accessibles. L'utilisateur peut alors choisir d'établir une connexion avec le fournisseur d'information en ligne en donnant une commande simple, par exemple, en appuyant sur un bouton spécial de la télécommande. Puis, le système établit automatiquement une liaison de communication numérique directe avec le fournisseur d'information en ligne grâce à l'adresse et permet l'échange et le traitement interactifs d'informations afin que les signaux reçus du fournisseur d'information en ligne soient affichés sur un téléviseur conventionnel, transduits sur un système audio, ou encore sur un système de reproduction haute résolution comme un écran d'ordinateur, ou un autre dispositif de reproduction.

Abstract: A document reader for optoelectronically illuminating, reading and interpreting (i.e. processing and analysing) indicia appearing on a document in a machine readable zone thereof, wherein the indicia is made visible only under illumination by non- visible light (i.e. UV or IR). UV (or IR) light sources (LED's) of the reader are rapidly switched to a stable, peak UV (or IR) illumination frequency or frequency range to illuminate and render visible such covert UV-visible (or IR-visible) indicia. An optoelectronic image sensor (CCD) captures the document image, which includes the indicia rendered visible by the UV source illumination, and the covert indicia is identified from the captured image. An optical path, being folded by two mirrors so as to provide a compact geometry for the reader, extends between a reading surface on which the document is place and the image sensor. A lens configured for focussing light defining an image onto the sensor is provided in the optical path. The reader may also include bank(s) (array(s)) of visible light sources (LED's), for illuminating visible indicia, in addition to UV and IR LED arrays and any IR light sources may also be used for illuminating visible OCR characters according to ISO 1831. A controller is provided to sequentially activate each different light source bank.
