Abstract: An imager head assembly for a remote inspection device includes an imager housing. A circuit board is positioned within the imager housing. The circuit board has a light emitting diode connected thereto. A thermally conductive material in contact with the circuit board and the imager housing creates a conductive heat transfer path to dissipate heat generated by the light emitting diode through the imager housing. A light transmissive light pipe unit can be positioned proximate the circuit board to permit light emitted by the light emitting diode to pass through the light pipe unit.

Abstract: A remote inspection apparatus has an imager disposed in an imager head and capturing image data. An active display unit receives the image data in digital form and graphically renders the image data on an active display. Movement tracking sensors track movement of the imager head and/or image display unit. In some aspects, a computer processor located in the active display unit employs information from movement tracking sensors tracking movement of the imager head to generate and display a marker indicating a position of the imager head. In additional aspects, the computer processor employs information from movement tracking sensors tracking movement of the active display unit to control movement of the imager head. In other aspects, the computer processor employs information from movement tracking sensors tracking movement of the active display unit to modify the image data rendered on the active display.

Abstract: An imager assembly for a remote inspection device includes an imager body. A circuit board retainer is slidably received through an end of the imager body. The circuit board retainer has deflectable legs separated by a slot. A circuit board assembly has an imager device connected to a first circuit board. A second circuit board is electrically connected to the first circuit board. The second circuit board is received in the slot of the circuit board retainer and frictionally engaged by the deflectable legs. A flexible tube has a first end connected to an end of the imager body using a first ferrule. A male connector is connected to a second end of the flexible tube using a second ferrule. A wiring harness is disposed through a bore of the flexible tube.

Abstract: An integrated solid state device for viewing and manipulating objects located in remote sites and locations which includes a flexible cable (1) having a camera (8) on one end and a viewer (13) on an opposite end. The camera captures images near the end of the flexible cable (1) and converts the images into a video signal that is transferred through wires (15) that extend through the length of the flexible cable (1). The video signals are received by the viewer (13) and converted into a displayed image. A variety of removable article manipulators (6) can be attached to the distal end of the flexible cable (1) and used to manipulate, capture and retrieve articles and objects near the distal end of the flexible cable (1).
