An integrated Internet camera includes, as embedded components contained within the camera body and controlled by a microcontroller, at least a network interface device for connecting to the Internet, a transport control device for packetizing according to Internet protocols, a file transfer device for communicating with a destination user directory on the Internet, and a transmission initiating device for initiating the connection and transfer operations of the file transfer device and transport control device. The network interface device may be a modem, network adapter, or adapter for connection to the Internet. Upon capturing the digital image, the camera initiates a connection to the Internet, connects to the destination user directory, and uploads the digital images. Thereafter, the digital images are available to authorized (or any) user having access to the Internet.

Integrated Internet/intranet camera

Apparatus for interactive display of any portion of a spherical image preferably comprises a personal computer or other digital processor apparatus for storing digital data representative of at least one image having a 180 degree or greater field of view (or hemispherical image). In order to view a selected image portion without warp or distortion at the seam between opposite hemispherical images, edge filtering is applied to eliminate a halo effect. Moreover, an opposite hemispherical image may either be obtained by creating a mirror image of a first hemispherical image or by capturing a second hemispherical image by means of an oppositely directed camera and storing the digital image. Equations for image transformation are based on a lens' characteristics including the lens' radius R. An input interface preferably comprises a display including a magnification region and a directional cursor for pointing the direction to a next spherical image. “Hot spots” can be linked to audio, text, graphics, or other media or trigger a charge for a pay event or identify program links to the next spherical image.

Method and apparatus for the interactive display of any portion of a spherical image

A method of reciprocally publishing and matching data files is disclosed. The method includes facilitating the creation of Category A and Category B data files having a respective sets of characteristics defined utilizing a common language architecture, associating enhancement objects with each data file, identifying characteristics in each data file which must be met by other data files, weighting characteristics in each data file differently from other characteristics in the same data file, enabling the selection of participation levels for each data file in marketspaces, and matching Category A data files participating in particular marketspaces to Category B data files participating in the same marketspaces using the common language architecture, the enhancement objects, the weights and the required characteristics.

Reciprocal data file publishing and matching system

The present invention includes at least one camera (601) having a lens (602) with at least a 180 degree field-of-view for capturing a hemispherical image (603) corresponding to a mirror image of the hemispherical image (603) captured by the camera (601) and capturing the second image from a second camera. A converter combines (216) the two images along with their outside edges (207, 208) to form a single, spherical image (209). The apparatus for interactive display of any portion of a spherical image preferably comprises a digital processor apparatus (219) for storing digital data representative of at least one image having a 180 degree field-of-view. In order to view a selected image portion without warp or distortion at the seam between opposite hemispherical images, edge filtering is applied to eliminate a halo effect.

La simulación en medicina ha evolucionado sustancialmente en las últimas décadas. Actualmente hay una gran variedad de simuladores disponibles, especialmente diseñados para la práctica de procedimientos quirúrgicos. Debido a las largas curvas de aprendizaje de las técnicas endourológicas mínimamente invasivas, la rama de la endourología se puede ver muy beneficiada por el uso de estos simuladores.Se diseñó un simulador de baja fidelidad para la práctica de técnicas endourológicas que utilizan cistoscopia. En el proceso de validación participaron 5 expertos y 19 no expertos. Los expertos eran profesionales médicos de un Departamento de Urología con experiencia de al menos 100 procedimientos de cistoscopia flexible. Los no expertos eran residentes en medicina interna sin experiencia en ningún tipo de técnica endoscópica. Se recogió información sobre la validez aparente y de contenido mediante escalas de Likert con puntuación de 1 a 5. Para evaluar la validez de constructo, se midió el tiempo para completar dos tareas, para lo cual se evaluó el procedimiento mediante la escala de evaluación global OSATS.El nuevo simulador se fabricó satisfactoriamente de acuerdo con su diseño. En todos los aspectos evaluados de la validez de constructo hubo una diferencia significativa (p < 0,05) entre el grupo de expertos y el de no expertos. La validez de contenido fue puntuada con 4,66 (desviación estándar [DE] ± 0,56) por los expertos y con 4,41 (DE ± 0,71) por los no expertos. En el cuestionario de validez aparente, la puntuación media fue de 4,14 (DE ± 0,94), y la pregunta que recibió la puntuación más alta (4,6 [DE ± 0,84]) evaluaba la inmersión en el procedimiento.El simulador presentado es válido tanto para el entrenamiento de nuevos endourólogos como para el perfeccionamiento de las técnicas de los médicos expertos.Simulation in medicine has developed a lot in the last few decades. There is a broad range of simulators available, above all for training in surgical procedures. Endourology can benefit much from simulation because the minimally-invasive procedures of endourology frequently have long learning curves, which can be reduced by training with simulators.A low-fidelity simulator was designed for practicing endourology techniques that use cystoscopy. The process of validation involved 5 experts and 19 non-experts. Experts comprised medical professionals working in a department of urology who had performed at least 100 flexible cystoscopy procedures. Non-experts were residents in internal medicine without experience in any type of endoscopy. Information about face and content validity was collected by means of Likert scales from 1 to 5. To evaluate construct validity, we measured the time to complete two tasks, for which the procedure was evaluated by means of the OSATS global evaluation scale.New simulator was successfully built according to its design. For all evaluated aspects of construct validity, there was a significant difference (P < .05) between the group of experts and the group of non-experts. Content validity was scored 4.66 (standard deviation ± 0.56) by the experts and 4.41 (± 0.71) by the non-experts. In the face validity questionnaire, the average score was 4.14 (± 0.94), the question receiving the highest score: 4.6 (± 0.84) concerned immersion in the procedure.The simulator presented is valid both for training up new urologists in endourology technique and for experts seeking to perfect their skills.
