WHITE BALANCE ADJUSTMENT JIG FOR ENDOSCOPE AND WHITE BALANCE ADJUSTMENT METHOD FOR ENDOSCOPE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18474256 titled 'WHITE BALANCE ADJUSTMENT JIG FOR ENDOSCOPE AND WHITE BALANCE ADJUSTMENT METHOD FOR ENDOSCOPE
Simplified Explanation
The white balance adjustment jig for an endoscope described in the abstract is a device that helps adjust the white balance of an endoscope by providing a chart with marks on a surface that is inclined with respect to the insertion direction of the endoscope.
- The jig includes an insertion portion with at least one insertion hole for the endoscope's distal end, a lid portion facing the insertion portion, and an outer peripheral portion forming an internal space.
- The lid portion features a chart with marks on the surface, inclined relative to the insertion direction of the endoscope's distal end.
Potential Applications
The white balance adjustment jig for an endoscope can be used in various medical settings where accurate color reproduction is crucial, such as in endoscopic surgeries, diagnostic procedures, and research.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of inaccurate color reproduction in endoscopic images, which can affect the quality of medical diagnoses and procedures.
Benefits
- Improved color accuracy in endoscopic images - Enhanced visualization during procedures - Easy and precise white balance adjustment
Potential Commercial Applications
- Medical device manufacturers - Hospitals and healthcare facilities - Research institutions
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be similar devices used in other imaging systems for color calibration and white balance adjustment.
Unanswered Questions
How does the inclination of the chart on the lid portion help in adjusting the white balance of the endoscope?
The abstract mentions that the chart is inclined with respect to a perpendicular plane, but it does not explain how this inclination aids in the white balance adjustment process.
Are there any specific materials or technologies used in the construction of this white balance adjustment jig?
The abstract does not provide details on the materials or technologies employed in the construction of the jig, which could be crucial for understanding its durability and effectiveness.
Original Abstract Submitted
A white balance adjustment jig for an endoscope includes: an insertion portion that includes at least one insertion hole into which a distal end part of an endoscope is inserted; a lid portion that is disposed to face the insertion portion; and an outer peripheral portion that is in contact with the insertion portion and the lid portion to form an internal space. The lid portion includes a chart having a plurality of marks on a surface on an insertion portion side, and the chart is inclined with respect to a perpendicular plane perpendicular to the insertion direction of the distal end part.
