    摘要: A method and apparatus for reducing cross-talk in an oximeter. The oximeter includes a band pass filter. The amount of cross-talk through the band pass filter is estimated. Based on this estimate, the corner frequencies of the band pass filter are adjusted when it is designed to minimize the cross-talk. In one embodiment, a calibration mode is performed when a sensor is attached to the oximeter. In the calibration mode, the signals are measured with first only the red LED on and then with only the IR LED on. Any signal measured in the off channel is assumed to be a result of cross-talk from the other channel. The magnitude of the cross-talk is determined as a percentage, and subsequently the percentage is multiplied by the actual signal and subtracted from the other LED signal as cross-talk compensation.

    摘要: A light emitter drive circuit for an oximeter which utilizes a single inductor (L6) for driving multiple light emitters (50). The inductor is connected to a switching circuit (40) to multiple energy storage circuits, such as capacitors. These are alternately charged up, using the same inductor. Subsequently, the capacitors are alternately discharged for their corresponding light emitters through the same inductor. Also, the magnetic susceptibility of the LED drive circuit is reduced by using magnetic flux canceling in the inductor. In one embodiment, a toroidal inductor is used with geometric symmetry and its magnetic flux. In another embodiment, a dual core closed bobbin shielded inductor is used.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing a substantially real-time representation of an analog representation of a physiological signal. The waveform signal from the sensor is converted into digital form. A delta-sigma modulator is used as a simple Digital-to-analog Converter (ADC). The output can then be provided through a simple hardware filter to give an analog output signal in nearly real-time, which can be used for other instruments, synchronization, display, etc.

    摘要: A pulse oximeter method and apparatus which provides (1) a notch filter (46) at a distance between a modulation frequency and a common multiple of commonly used power line frequencies (50, 60, 100 and 120) and also (2) a demodulation frequency greater than a highest pulse rate of a person and lower than any harmonic of 50, 60, 100 or 120 Hz, to filter ambient light interference, while choosing an optimum demodulation frequency that avoids interference from the notch filter or from harmonics of the line interference. Also, ambient light for any low frequency interference, such as power line interference, is measured both before and after each of the light emitter wavelengths and the average of the ambient light is then subtracted from the detected signal.

    摘要: A pulse oximeter with drive lines for driving red and IR LEDs, and a drive circuit for driving those drive lines. A processor controls the drive circuit using a red zero output line and an IR zero output line directly connected between the processor and the drive circuit. This allows a control signal to directly control the turning off of either the red or IR drive transistors to prevent forward current flow through the red and IR LEDs by overriding the ongoing programmable logic state machine control of the drive transistors. The effects of crosstalk and capacitive coupling are reduced as a result.

    摘要: An oximeter uses a sigma-delta modulator and a multi-bit ADC with PWM feedback enabling high precision multi-bit conversion. Demodulation is done in software, thus requiring only a single hardware path for both red and IR. Multiple capacitors are switched into the integrator in the sigma-delta modulator, with different capacitors for red, IR and dark signals, thus enabling the use of the single hardware path. A switching circuit at the input of the sigma-delta modulator acts as a sample and hold, controlled by the PWM feedback.
