Development of Capsule Endoscope Self-propelled by Linear Motor Mechanism

Aspiration of capsule endoscope.

Development of CMOS imager block for capsule endoscope

This paper presents the development of imager block to be associated in a capsule endoscopy system. Since the capsule endoscope is used to diagnose gastrointestinal diseases, the imager block must be in small size which is comfortable for the patients to swallow. In this project, a small size 1.5V button battery is used as the power supply while the voltage supply requirements for other compone...

Delayed presentation of an aspirated capsule endoscope

Capsule endoscopy has revolutionized the investigation of small intestinal pathology with an increasing repertoire of indications. We present the first reported case of an aspirated capsule presenting after a long asymptomatic period that was removed with no permanent pulmonary sequelae. This report highlights a cohort of patients who could be susceptible to this rare complication. The report a...

Design of an Elevator Prototype Propelled by a Linear Induction Motor

This work aims at the design of a roped elevator prototype, which uses a linear induction motor (LIM) as a traction machine. It is also concerned with the development of a specific inverter to feed the linear motor that allows several ways to drive the elevator through a suitable choice of the RMS voltage levels, angular phase displacement and electrical frequency of the output voltage. The res...
