Locator for intestinal capsule comprises a deployable arm with toothed wheel and a series of detectors, useful for removal of substances and/or performing internal analyses in humans or animals

摘要

Locator for an intestinal capsule (1) comprising a basic module (2) with a transmitter/receiver, electronic power and signal processing systems, such as a microprocessor, physical environment sensors, a power source (3) and functional modules for removing substances, taking samples, biopsies and/or images, comprising a deployable arm (6) with a toothed wheel (5) and a series of detectors, is new. Locator for an intestinal capsule (1) comprising a basic module (2) with a transmitter/receiver, electronic power and signal processing systems, such as a microprocessor, physical environment sensors, a power source (3) and functional modules for removing substances, taking samples, biopsies and/or images, comprising a deployable arm (6) with a toothed wheel (5) and a series of detectors, where the toothed wheel is able to rotate freely on its axis and the detectors, e.g. electromagnetic, electrostatic, piezoelectric and/or mechanical, are located close to the ends or outer surfaces of the teeth.
