2. External controller to wirelessly control and operate the capsule,
and
3. Coil-embedded vest for power transmission and direction control
The dimension of a capsule camera is 9mm in diameter and 23mm in length.
The case is made of resin. Inside the capsule, 3 rotor-coils for posture

magnetic coils for focus adjustment and 4 LEDs are placed. In addition,
at the centered space area, 2 tanks with valves are prepared. Lastly, a
capacitor to store electric power and a microwave video signal
