摘要： A cable detection system, includes a source of an input electrical AC signal for coupling to a first lead pin of a cable connector. A detector is coupled to a different second lead pin of the cable connector. The detector detects an electrical AC output signal derived by capacitive coupling of the input electrical AC signal occurring within a cable incorporating first and second leads corresponding to the first and second lead pins. The detector further enables a determination of whether the cable is connected to the cable connector in response to an amplitude dependent characteristic of the detected AC output signal.

摘要： A switched filter signal processing system includes an input terminal for receiving an input signal conveying first signal information in a first time phase and second signal information in a different second time phase. Desired information represents the difference between the first and second signal information. A multiplexed switch filter filters the input signal in the first phase with a first filter to obtain the first signal information and filters the input signal in the different second time phase with a second filter to obtain the second signal information. The system also includes a common filter component, which is shared by the first and second filter, and respective second filter components for the first and second filters. A controller controls the multiplexed switch filter to couple the common filter component to the second filter component of said first filter in said first time phase and to couple the common filter component to the second filter component of the second filter in the second time phase.

摘要： A method and apparatus is provided for protecting a patient during a radio frequency medical procedure. A detector includes an input receiving electrical impulses representing at least one patient parameter to be monitored from at least one shielded sensor connected to the patient. The detector detects at least one of (a) a voltage associated with parasitic current generated during a radio frequency medical procedure and (b) a current generated during a radio frequency medical procedure. A control circuit is coupled to the detector and compares at least one of (a) the detected voltage with a threshold voltage value and (b) the detected current with a threshold current value. A switch is coupled between the detector and the control circuit. In response to a control signal generated by the control circuit, the switch selectively switches between a conductive state and a non conductive state. The conductive state maintains a low impedance at the at least one shielded sensor and maintains the shield of the at least one shielded sensor in an effective state when at least one of (a) the detected voltage is below the threshold voltage value and (b) the detected current is below the threshold current value. The non-conductive state provides a high impedance at the at least one shielded sensor and causes the shield of the at least one shielded sensor to become ineffective when at least one of (a) the detected voltage is equal to or greater than the threshold voltage value and (b) the detected current is equal to or greater than the threshold current.
