==PRESSURE TOLERANT CAMERA - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18405303 titled 'PRESSURE TOLERANT CAMERA

The abstract describes a pressure-tolerant camera system that includes an enclosure filled with an incompressible fluid, a digital image sensor, and multiple mirror lenses to reflect light onto the sensor.

* The camera system is designed to operate in high-pressure environments.
* The enclosure is filled with an incompressible fluid to maintain pressure balance.
* The digital image sensor captures images within the enclosure.
* Mirror lenses are strategically placed to reflect light onto the sensor.
* This innovative design allows the camera to function effectively in underwater or deep-sea applications.

Potential Applications:
- Underwater photography and videography
- Deep-sea exploration and research
- Industrial inspections in high-pressure environments

Problems Solved:
- Overcoming pressure-related issues in camera systems
- Ensuring image quality and functionality in extreme conditions

Benefits:
- High-quality imaging in challenging environments
- Increased durability and reliability for underwater use
- Expanded capabilities for scientific research and industrial applications

Commercial Applications:
Title: Pressure-Tolerant Camera System for Underwater Imaging
This technology can be utilized in underwater drones, marine research vessels, and industrial inspection equipment for underwater structures.

Questions about Pressure-Tolerant Camera Systems:
1. How does the incompressible fluid in the enclosure help maintain pressure balance?
   - The incompressible fluid ensures that the internal pressure remains constant, preventing damage to the camera system.
2. What are the key advantages of using mirror lenses in this camera system?
   - Mirror lenses allow for efficient reflection of light onto the digital image sensor, enhancing image quality and clarity.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

According to some embodiments, a pressure tolerant camera system includes: an enclosure filled with an incompressible fluid and having a viewport through which light can pass; a digital image sensor provided within the enclosure; and a plurality of mirror lenses provided within the enclosure and arranged to reflect light from the viewport onto the digital image sensor.
