    摘要: An interface unit for establishing an electrical coupling of a number of sensor wires from a combination of catheters with a number of electrical signal channels of a electrophysiological monitoring system has a number of electrical contacts for coupling individual wires with individual channels. Each contact is releasably engageable with an individual wire. A number of overlays which are removably locatable at the outer surface and are attached to the housing of the unit by binding rings. Each overlay carries on a face thereof a visible indication of a different one of a number of stored wire/contact configurations. The configurations are organized such that contacts for receiving wires from a same catheter are grouped together and the indication is formed as visibly differentiated regions, each de-marking a different grouping.

    摘要: A method for analog-to-digital conversion of a chronologically changing, analog input signal includes the steps of forming an edited signal from an input signal by subjecting the input signal to a first transfer function and amplifying the result by a defined gain factor, sampling the input signal and the edited signal and subjecting the sampled signals to analog-to-digital conversion to obtain first and second digital data respectively corresponding to the edited signal and the input signal. The number of bits in each of the first and second digital data determines the dynamic range of the analog-to-digital conversion. The first digital data, corresponding to the input signal, are multiplied by a defined factor equal to the defined gain factor. If a transgression of the dynamic range in the analog-to-digital conversion has not occurred, the final analog-to-digital conversion result is calculated making use of the second digital data corresponding to the edited signal. If the dynamic range has been transgressed, the digital data corresponding to the edited signal are not used to determine the final conversion result. An apparatus for practicing the method is also disclosed.

    摘要: A lamp (34) for a refrigerator or freezer cabinet is located forwardly and above a horizontal edge (38) of an access opening (16) to a storage space (12) for goods in the cabinet. The lamp (34) illuminates the space (12) through the access opening by means of a reflector (36). The reflector (36) includes a cylindrical part (52) having a semi-elliptical cross-sectional shape. A concave side of the cylindrical part (52) faces the access opening (16). The lamp has a filament (42) which shines in the shape of a line (44) running parallel to the edge (38) and through one (42) of the focal points of the ellipse. The other focal point (58) of the ellipse is located quite close to and outside the edge (38), so that the light from the filament (42) first is reflected by the cylindrical part (52) of the reflector (36) and then passes through the other focal point (58) on its way into the space (12).

    摘要: In a method and apparatus for processing ECG signals for the purpose of detecting low-amplitude signal structures hidden in noise in the ECG signal, the ECG signals, number of cardiac cycles are analog-to-digital converted, and QRS complexes in the converted signals are detected. The signals from at least two cardiac cycles are cross-correlated, and the correlation between these signals in time intervals which comprise at least the time intervals of the two samples is determined. An output quantity representing the degree of correlation is thus obtained, the magnitude of this quantity designating the amplitude of the signal structure in question. This magnitude can then be analyzed to determine if, and where in the signal, the signal structure arises.

    摘要: A device for eliminating ringing in filtered ECG signals includes an analog-to-digital for converting the ECG input signals into a series of digital values, and a filter unit connected to the output of the analog-to digital converter. The filter unit includes a recursive IIR-filter and a subsequent allpass filter with a phase shift which is equal to twice the phase shift of the IIR filter. The allpass filtering is performed time-reversed with respect to the IIR filtering. In a method for producing an allpass filter, for use in the above device, having a phase shift which is equal to twice the phase shift of an IIR filter, the IIR filter having zero points situated on the unity circle in the Z-plane, the zero points of the IIR filter are replaced by new zero points obtained by reflecting the poles of the filter in the unity circle in the Z-plane.

    摘要: A boxlike body (10) with a rear wall (12) and four side walls (14) is brought into a fixture (34) with the free edges (22) of the side walls pointing downwards. The walls of the body are filled with insulating powder by blowing the powder into the rear wall (12) by gaseous medium of a first pressure. The powder is then packed by gaseous medium of a second pressure, which is higher than the first pressure, being let into the rear wall. During the filling and packing the media is let out via a filter element (24) arranged at the free edges (22) of the side walls. After the filling and packing the media is evacuated from the walls through the filter element (24). The body can then be used as a so-called vacuum insulation in a refrigerator or freezer.

    摘要: Apparatus for filtering out baseline fluctuations from physiological measurement signals. The apparatus comprises a first nonrecursive low-pass filter with a downstream stage for the reduction of the sampling rate, a second nonrecursive filter connected thereto, a subsequent interpolation stage to increase the sampling rate and a subtraction stage, in which the baseline fluctuations retained by the low-pass filtering are subtracted from the measurement signals affected by baseline fluctuations. To reduce the number of computing operations to be performed in the course of the sampling filtering, the first low-pass filter comprises a recursive filter. a1
