Title: Method of reading an optically readable security element
Inventor: Phillip Speed
IPC: G06K19/06
Filed: 2022-07-26
Abstract: A method of reading an optically readable security element (for example a two-dimensional barcode or hologram). An imaging device 100 captures an image of the element 200. The level of an optical characteristic 2 (which may be specular reflection) proximal to the element is determined and the identity of the element is only extracted if the level of the optical characteristic falls within a predetermined range. The threshold may be based on a previously measured level of the characteristic. The identity may be extracted only if the security element is visible within a verification target (110a-e, fig.4a-e) displayed on a viewfinder of the imaging device. The viewfinder may be the screen of a mobile phone. The verification target may be modified if the level of the optical characteristic falls outside the predetermined range, and the method may be repeated using the modified verification target. The security element may comprise one or more optical emitters that are excited by radiation emitted by the imaging device.

Title: Endoscopic vessel harvester with gyrosensor for rotating camera view
Inventor: TATSUNORI FUJII
IPC: A61B1/04
Filed: 2020-04-23
Abstract: An endoscopic vessel harvesting tool uses an optical system to present a video image to a user. A camera unit 86 insertable into the harvesting device 88 comprises optical fibre extending longitudinally between a distal lens and a proximal image sensor. As the tool is manipulated around all sides of the vessel to dissect and cut surrounding tissue and side branches, the orientation of the captured image rotates. An angular motion tracker (e.g. multi-axis inertial sensor) detects this axial rotation, and the camera view orientation is compensated by counter-rotating the captured images to be displayed to the user. Images can thus be displayed upright, or in any preferred orientation, independent of the axial rotation of the camera and harvesting device.
