An endoscope apparatus provided in the invention has forced disposability of a cannula by the means and techniques put in place so that the parts in contact with organic tissues or the detection of container extraction cannot be used, re-used, or if re-used, in a way that aligns with their operating limits. Activation of the cannula is detected and traced using sensors or wireless intercommunication devices so that when a certain time lapses or a certain number of activations after the first activation of the cannula, a limited usage means disables the cannula in mechanical or electrical way to ensure forced disposability of the cannula.

Endoscope apparatus with forced disposability

An endoscope apparatus capable of ensuring safe and compliant use includes an endoscope, a means for identification of the endoscope, a means for determining whether the endoscope is suitable for a given medical act utilizing the identification of the endoscope, and a disablement means that prevents utilization of the endoscope when determined the endoscope is not suitable for the given medical act. The identification may be on a tag fixed to the endoscope and/or container. The information is checked for a match in a cloud database to ensure the endoscope is the right device for the medical act. If not the right device, the endoscope is deactivated. If the right device, the endoscope is activated and the cloud database is updated accordingly. The cloud database can also be updated at each point in the distribution chain to allow complete traceability.

Method and apparatus for enforced provisioning and compliant usage authorization of endoscope applications

Provided is a disclosure for a vehicle platform that includes acquiring information, analyzing the information, and controlling the vehicle, as well as sharing the acquired information and infotainment in the vehicle with other vehicles and electronic devices.

Provided is a disclosure for detection and recognition of objects using a projected array of light shapes of one or more frequencies, where the light may be structured or non-structured.

System and method for object recognition and ranging by deformation of projected shapes in a multimodal vision and sensing system for autonomous devices

The disclosure generally relates to a localization scheme that may use ultrasound signatures exchanged among entrusted devices to locate lost or otherwise misplaced devices. More particularly, a user device may initially exchange an ultrasound signature or other inaudible audio signature with an entrusted device (e.g., during a pairing procedure with the entrusted device) and subsequently search an ultrasound domain in response to detecting an inactive state (e.g., based on measurements that indicate inflicted motion or processor activity). As such, in response to detecting the initially exchanged ultrasound signature in the ultrasound domain, which may be emitted from the entrusted device or an unpaired device that has been authorized to emit the ultrasound signature, the user device may generate an audible or visual notification in a user domain and optionally further enable more sophisticated user notification and localization tasks to assist in locating the user device.

One embodiment of the invention is directed to a speaker system comprising a first speaker apparatus comprising a housing, speaker components positioned substantially inside the housing and at least one first speaker apparatus charging member, wherein the speaker components include a power source, and a second speaker apparatus comprising a housing, speaker components positioned substantially inside the housing and at least one second speaker apparatus charging member. The first speaker apparatus and the second speaker apparatus are configured to each provide a different component of reproduced sound at the same time. The second speaker apparatus is configured to recharge the power source of the first speaker apparatus.

Ease-of-use wireless speakers

Systems and methods for wireless device connection and pairing are provided. Embodiments relate to automatic device connection or pairing by accessing or acquiring a machine-readable feature. Machine-readable features may include printed or displayed machine-readable indicia, such as linear (e.g., one-dimensional) barcodes, matrix (e.g., two-dimensional) barcodes, quick response (QR) codes, characters, symbols, labels, pictorial icons, graphics, images, watermarks, holograms, or any other printed or displayed indicia that may be used to encode, represent, or lookup information. Machine-readable features may also include non-printed features, such as magnetic strips, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, various other types of sensors and tags embedded or attached to electronic devices, and audio and visual signals.

Systems and methods for wireless device connection and pairing

A method and apparatus for real time adjustment of wireless transmission in a media device (e.g., webcam), as opposed to a server or computer. In one embodiment, the adjustment, or dynamic tuning, involves tracking available bandwidth of the radio signaling rate and varying one of the retry rate, compression and frame rate. Also, the adjustment can be made on the basis of forecasts based on past behavior. A tracking and control algorithm is used to modulate the video bit-rate from the camera with the dynamic bit-rate available in a WiFi link.

Wireless multimedia device with real time adjustment of packet retry function and bit rate modulation

A system and method for optimizing a video stream from a high frame rate image sensor. The high frame rate video stream is split into two separate video streams so that one video stream can be shown to a user or recorded, while the other video stream can be processed. The processed video stream can be analyzed for sharpness to adjust for focus or it can be imaged with or without an optical filter and used to enhance the appearance of the other video stream.
