| 20090036743 | MEDICAL APPARATUS - A medical apparatus includes: a first illumination window through which a first illumination light from a first light source is irradiated to a subject; a second illumination window at different position than the first illumination window, through which a second illumination light from a second light source is irradiated to the subject; an electronic image pickup section which picks up subject images; an image creation section which generates observation images based on image pickup signals obtained by the electronic image pickup section; a light adjustment section which synchronously adjusts respective amounts of illumination lights irradiated from the first and second illumination windows; and a control unit which controls the light adjustment section or image creation section to maintain color tone of the observation image to a predetermined one according to increase/decrease of the illumination light amount from the first illumination window. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090215311 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR - A lid member that opens/closes an opening of a receptacle connector has a wiping portion that wipes off adhering moisture by rotating to follow contact disposition surfaces upon insertion of a plug connector. Wiper members for wiping off small quantities of moisture remaining after wiping by the lid member are arranged so as to be movable back and forth in a substantially orthogonal direction to the plug connector insertion direction in front of a groove portion into which a contact portion of the plug connector is fitted. The wiper members are disposed so as to be urged towards the outer circumferential surface of the plug connector by elastic members. When fitting the plug connector, distal-end sides of the wiper members closely contact with the contact disposition surfaces of the plug connector and wipe off residual moisture. Thus, electrolytic corrosion of contacts can be prevented and the contact reliability improved. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090215322 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR - A first groove portion into which a first plug connector can fit and a second groove portion that surrounds the first groove portion and into which a second plug connector can fit are formed in a receptacle connector. By arranging first receiving-side contacts that contact against and conduct with contacts of the first plug connector in the first groove portion and arranging second receiving-side contacts that contact against and conduct with contacts of the second plug connector in the second groove portion, plug connectors with mutually different shapes and in which the number of contacts are mutually different can be easily and reliably connected to a common receptacle connector. It is therefore possible to reduce the mounting space of the receptacle connector to prevent an increase in the apparatus size, and also improve the usability. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090216086 | ENDOSCOPE AND MEDICAL SYSTEM - An endoscope of the invention includes: an insertion portion including in a distal end portion thereof an image pickup portion for picking up an image of an object in a living body; an operation portion connected to a proximal end side of the insertion portion; a cable including a connector portion connectable to a processor for performing signal processing on a signal outputted when the image of the object is picked up; a light source portion for emitting light to illuminate the object, the light source portion being provided in the connector portion; a light transmitting portion for transmitting the light emitted from the light source portion to the distal end portion to emit the light to the object; and a heat-radiating portion capable of radiating heat emitted from the light source portion, the heat-radiating portion being provided in the connector portion. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100002292 | LIGHT SOURCE DEVICE AND ENDOSCOPE APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A switching filter is provided in a light source device according to the present invention. The switching filter has a first dichroic filter which transmits illumination light in a first wavelength band from a lamp and a fluorescence observation filter which transmits at least illumination light in a second wavelength band and is rotatably provided such that the first dichroic filter and the fluorescence observation filter pass through an illumination light optical axis. An LED portion has a blue LED which emits illumination light in the first wavelength band toward the switching filter. A second dichroic filter capable of transmitting illumination light from the lamp and reflecting illumination light from the LED portion to a condenser lens is also arranged at the switching filter. | 01-07-2010 |
