    摘要: An improved R-wave detector is provided for use in monitoring and/or analyzing electrical heart waveforms. Generally conventional R-wave detection means employ automatically variable scaling means for providing a threshold or reference value to a comparator which is variable not only in magnitude but also as a percentage of the average R-wave peak value from which it is derived. An ECG waveform is compared with this threshold of automatically variable percentage value and an indication of R-wave occurrence is provided when the ECG waveform exceeds the threshold. Upon an indication of R-wave occurrence, the percentage value of the threshold is rapidly increased such that a closely following T-wave of unusually large magnitude is not falsely detected as an R-wave. Then, following the interval during which a T-wave might occur and before the possible occurrence of even a premature following R-wave, the percentage value of the threshold decreases to a level capable of detecting even such premature R-waves of reduced amplitude.

    摘要: A personal alarm system is disclosed which incorporates a speakerphone so as to permit substantially handsfree operation and remote activation. The system includes a speakerphone which interfaces to a subscriber station. The subscriber station in turn interfaces over a communications link to a central monitoring station which is operative to receive and analyze messages transmitted to the central monitoring station by the subscriber station. Following transmission of a message from the subscriber station to the central monitoring station, the central monitoring station may transmit a control signal to the subscriber station which causes the subscriber station to activate the speakerphone to permit verbal communication with a subscriber who may be immobilized and/or physically unable to initiate a telephone call or answer a telephone. The system further includes an automatic phone answering mode following the activation of a switch by a subscriber, a remote phone answering mode at the subscriber's location, and remote message mode for informing a caller to stand by while the subscriber comes to the phone. In a particular system, some or all operating modes may be employed.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for comparing waveshape portions of at least one time-varying signal by first forming initial templates of digital signal samples representative of the amplitude of successive time-spaced samples of portions of the time-varying signal. Next, forming reduced templates having a number of digital signal elements which is less than the number of samples in corresponding ones of the initial templates, each element of the reduced template comprising a combination of at least two samples from its corresponding initial template. And then processing corresponding elements of at least two of the reduced templates for deriving a signal representative of the degree of similarity of the respective portions of the time-varying signal represented by at least two reduced templates.
