    • An endoscope apparatus and method of operating the same. The endoscope apparatus comprises an endoscope portion and a control and display unit. The endoscope portion preferably comprises: (i) a sensor disposed at a distal end of the endoscope portion and providing endoscope data; (ii) one or more electronically controlled actuators (e.g., electroactive polymer actuators) controlling the operation of the endoscope portion based on received control signals; (iii) a first wireless transceiver coupled to the sensor and the one or more electronically controlled actuators, transmitting received endoscope data from the sensor and forwarding received control signals to the one or more electronically controlled actuators; and (iv) a portable power source (e.g., a battery) coupled to the sensor, the first wireless transceiver, and the one or more electronically controller actuators. The control and display unit preferably comprises: (i) a second wireless transceiver coupled via a wireless link to the first transceiver in the endoscope portion and receiving endoscope data from the first transceiver and transmitting control signals to the first transceiver; (ii) a control portion coupled to the second wireless transceiver and sending control signals to the one or more actuators in the endoscope portion via the first and second wireless transceivers; and (iii) a display portion that displays information received from the sensor via the first and second wireless transceivers. Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a method for providing single-use endoscopes to one or more hospitals.
    • 一种内窥镜装置及其操作方法。 内窥镜装置包括内窥镜部和控制显示部。 内窥镜部优选包括:(i)设置在内窥镜部的前端的传感器,提供内窥镜数据; (ii)基于接收到的控制信号控制内窥镜部分的操作的一个或多个电子控制致动器(例如电活性聚合物致动器); (iii)耦合到所述传感器和所述一个或多个电子控制致动器的第一无线收发器,从所述传感器发送所接收的内窥镜数据并将接收的控制信号转发到所述一个或多个电子控制致动器; 和(iv)耦合到传感器,第一无线收发器和一个或多个电子控制器致动器的便携式电源(例如,电池)。 控制和显示单元优选地包括:(i)经由无线链路耦合到内窥镜部分中的第一收发器的第二无线收发器,并且从第一收发器接收内窥镜数据并向第一收发器发送控制信号; (ii)耦合到所述第二无线收发器的控制部分,经由所述第一和第二无线收发器向所述内窥镜部分中的所述一个或多个致动器发送控制信号; 和(iii)经由第一和第二无线收发器显示从传感器接收的信息的显示部分。 本发明的另一方面涉及一种用于向一个或多个医院提供一次性内窥镜的方法。
