Patent ID: 8858425

Claim:
A device for insertion into an anatomical cavity, the device comprising: a disposable body having a proximal section and a distal section, the distal section configured to be at least partially inserted into the anatomical cavity; and an opto-electronic module functionally positioned on the distal section of the body, the opto-electronic module including: a digital image sensor positioned at the distal section of the body, the digital image sensor configured to output digital video signals including parallel digital video signals or MIPI serialized digital video signals, an illuminator positioned at the distal section of the body, a circuit board conductively coupled to the digital image sensor, the circuit board configured to be at least partially inserted into the anatomical cavity, the circuit board further configured to convert the digital video signals output by the digital image sensor to Universal Serial Bus Video Class (UVC) video signals, electrical lines conductively coupled to the circuit board such that the electrical lines are conductively coupled to the digital image sensor and the illuminator, the electrical lines functionally coupled to the body from the circuit board to the proximal section of the body, the electrical lines including an electrical cable having a first end and a second end, the first end functionally coupled to the proximal section of the body, and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector conductively coupled to the second end of the electrical cable, the USB connector configured to electrically connect the electrical lines to a control unit configured to control the digital image sensor as a USB camera device, the USB connector further configured to communicate the UVC video signals to the control unit.
