Abstract: Provides an inflatable intracorporeal capsule endoscope and operation method. The inflatable intracorporeal capsule endoscope may include a sensing device for capturing an in-vivo image and one or more permanent magnets for magnetically guiding the endoscope, and is accommodated inside the capsule-shaped body. The expandable intracorporeal capsule endoscope may include an expandable buoy attached to the capsule-shaped body from the outside. The inflatable device can inflate the internal capsule endoscope by injecting gas into the inflatable buoy to reduce its specific gravity, so that when the inflatable buoy injects more than a threshold volume of gas, the inflatable internal capsule endoscope floats in the liquid. When exposed to the outside When the magnetic field is generated, the inflatable internal capsule endoscope can be magnetically guided by its permanent magnet. Compared with traditional uninflated capsules, the reduced magnetic field strength and external magnet size can be used to magnetically navigate inflatable capsules floating in liquid.

Abstract: A system/method that allows the hydrophilicity of polymer materials (PM) to be changed is disclosed. The change in the hydrophilicity of PM changes the properties of PM by reducing the refractive index of the PM, increasing the conductivity of the PM and increasing the weight of the PM. The system/method incorporates a laser radiation source that generates tightly focused laser pulses within the three-dimensional part of the PM to affect these changes in PM characteristics. The system/method can be applied to the formation of a customized intraocular lens containing materials (PLM), wherein the lens manufactured using the system/method is surgically positioned in the patient’s eye. Then, the refractive index of the implanted lens can be optionally changed in situ with laser pulses to change the optical characteristics of the implanted lens, so as to achieve the best correction of the patient’s vision. This system/method allows a large number of in situ modifications to the implanted lens as the patient’s vision changes with age.
