Abstract: The present invention discloses circuits for isolating and attenuating signals generated by a telephone network. In disclosed embodiments, a metering pulse signal is isolated from the terminals of the connecting device, and then attenuated with an impedance that is synthesized with a programmable digital signal processor. Embodiments also utilize the digital signal processor to synthesize a termination impedance for the connecting device. The termination impedance matches closely the characteristic impedance of the network, so as to minimize wave reflections and the like.

Abstract: An improved architecture for efficiently calculating a discrete wavelet transform is presented. The present system appreciates the associated redundancies of calculations and proposes a topology for eliminating such redundant calculations through the use of storing and making such previously calculated coefficients available in successive wavelet coefficient calculations. The present system while recognizing redundant calculations and performing storage operations, also provides a pipelined architecture whereby the wavelet coefficients are calculated and combined for use in a wavelet packet tree architecture.

Abstract: The high throughput UART to DSP interface (UDIF) maintains UART functionality while integrating dual Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) FIFO buffers that are optimized for more efficient interaction with their respective I/O processors. The portion of the interface design interacting with the DSP, the UDIF, provides several unique Status, Informational, and Control registers that lower the DSP overhead required for many of the basic modem functions. The UDIF design also performs parity add, parity strip, and character echo functions, traditionally performed at a high overhead cost by the DSP. These functions are more efficiently preformed by hardware implementations than by the software routines executed by the DSP. More burdensome command functions like escape, AT, and flow control commands can also be implemented through hardware implementations to reduce processor overhead.

Abstract: An integrated catheter placement system for accurately placing a catheter within a patient's vasculature is disclosed. In one embodiment, the integrated system comprises a system console, a tip location sensor for temporary placement on the patient's chest, and an ultrasound probe. The tip location sensor senses a magnetic field of a stylet disposed in a lumen of the catheter when the catheter is disposed in the vasculature. The ultrasound probe ultrasonically images a portion of the vasculature prior to intravascular introduction of the catheter. The ultrasound probe includes user input controls for controlling use of the ultrasound probe in an ultrasound mode and use of the tip location sensor in a tip location mode. In another embodiment, ECG signal-based catheter tip guidance is included in the integrated system to enable guidance of the catheter tip to a desired position with respect to a node of the patient's heart.

Abstract: The present invention synthesizes a prescribed impedance. The impedance is synthesized by generating a current having a value substantially equal to a voltage divided by a prescribed impedance. Sensing the line voltage and converting that sensed line voltage to its digital equivalent accomplish this first step. The digital line voltage is processed by a factor related to the prescribed impedance to produce an output voltage that has a value substantially equal to the sensed voltage divided by the prescribed impedance. The output voltage controls a voltage to current converter that generates the appropriate current across the points or terminals where the line voltage was measured. Thus, the prescribed impedance is generated across these points or terminals because the line voltage divided by the generated current is substantially equal to the prescribed impedance.

Abstract: A system and circuit is provided for digitally synthesizing the impedance of a transfer function. The impedance of the transfer function is digitally synthesized by generating a current that, when combined with an input voltage, results in the impedance of the transfer function. This is accomplished by sensing the input signal and processing it with a generator or multiplier such that a voltage is produced. The produced voltage controls a current source and creates a current having a value equal to the inverse of the transfer function impedance. The sensed or input voltage divided by the generated current is equal to the impedance of the transfer function. In this manner, many different transfer functions can be digitally synthesized without having to design an alternate circuit.
