First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus to capture medical images, the apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
control electronics mounted in the housing;
a digital image detector mounted in the housing and operably coupled to the control electronics;
a volatile storage device operably coupled to the control electronics and mounted in the housing,an external connection interface mounted on the housing and operably coupled to the control electronics and operable to communicate data to an external device; and
a non-volatile storage device operably coupled to the control electronics and mounted in the housing,wherein the control electronics further includes executable instructions to determine that transmission of data from the volatile storage device to the external device was not successful and to subsequently transmit data from the non-volatile storage device to the external device.
