    Abstract: A method and an apparatus to analyze two measured signals that are modeled as containing desired and undesired portions such as noise, FM and AM modulation. Coefficients relate the two signals according to a model defined in accordance with the present invention. In one embodiment, a transformation is used to evaluate a ratio of the two measured signals in order to find appropriate coefficients. The measured signals are then fed into a signal scrubber which uses the coefficients to remove the unwanted portions. The signal scrubbing is performed in either the time domain or in the frequency domain. The method and apparatus are particularly advantageous to blood oximetry and pulserate measurements. In another embodiment, an estimate of the pulserate is obtained by applying a set of rules to a spectral transform of the scrubbed signal. In another embodiment, an estimate of the pulserate is obtained by transforming the scrubbed signal from a first spectral domain into a second spectral domain. The pulserate is found by identifying the largest spectral peak in the second spectral domain.

    Abstract: A plurality of carrier signals, distinguishable by amplitudes of signal components (e.g., frequency components), are respectively applied to a plurality of energy emitters (e.g., infrared and red light emitters). A detector receives the sum of the energy after modulation at each emitter wavelength, e.g. by blood tissue of a patient. An output of the detector is then demultiplexed, whereby a component of modulation at each emitter wavelength may be determined. The carrier signals may comprise time-varying periodic signals with identical frequency and frequency components, such as mixtures of identical sets of pure sine waves. When the number of signal components exceeds the number of emitter wavelengths, sufficient information is provided during demultiplexing to detect and correct errors introduced by ambient light sources and other interference.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an oximeter for monitoring oxygen saturation of arterial blood. Light of two wavelengths is transmitted through a specimen. Detectors measure the attenuation of light through the specimen to produce two modulating data streams. The data streams are thereafter processed, evaluated, and compared to determine oxygen saturation. A novel method to process, evaluate and compare the two data streams is disclosed.
