摘要： A receiver (100) adjusts its overall gain based on the detected power level of an incoming signal. The receiver is built with two detectors (D1, D2) which operate with different detecting ranges within the dynamic range of the incoming signal. If the actual power level of the incoming signal falls within one of the resolving ranges, an automatic gain control adjusts the gain of the receiver to a corresponding gain value. If not, the resolving range of one of the two detectors is shifted and eventually reduced to cover the portion of the dynamic range in which the power level is comprised. The gain of the receiver is then temporarily adjusted and a new measurement is carried out by the detector using the new resolving range. The AGC then re-adjusts the gain of the receiver based on the measurement given by the modified detector.

摘要： The invention features a monitoring device that measures a patient's vital signs (e.g. blood pressure). The device features a first sensor configured to attach to a first portion of the patient's body that includes: i) a first electrode configured to generate a first electrical signal from the first portion of the patient's body; ii) a first light-emitting component; and iii) a first photodetector configured to receive radiation from the first portion of the patient's body after the radiation is emitted by the first light-emitting component and in response generate a first optical waveform. The device also features a second sensor that includes essentially the same components. An amplifier system, in electrical contact with the first and second electrodes, receives first and second electrical signals from the two sensors to generate an electrical waveform. A processor, in electrical contact with the amplifier system, receives the electrical waveform, the first optical waveform, and the second optical waveform. The processor runs computer code that processes the input waveforms with an algorithm to determine at least one of the patient's vital signs.

摘要： The invention provides a body-worn monitor featuring a processing system that receives a digital data stream from an ECG system. A cable houses the ECG system at one terminal end, and plugs into the processing system, which is worn on the patient's wrist like a conventional wristwatch. The ECG system features: i) a connecting portion connected to multiple electrodes worn by the patient; ii) a differential amplifier that receives electrical signals from each electrode and process them to generate an analog ECG waveform; iii) an analog-to-digital converter that converts the analog ECG waveform into a digital ECG waveform; and iv) a transceiver that transmits a digital data stream representing the digital ECG waveform (or information calculated from the waveform) through the cable and to the processing system. Different ECG systems, typically featuring three, five, or twelve electrodes, can be interchanged with one another.
