    摘要: An implantable medical device and method are provided for comprising a sensing circuit that is configured to sense and output physiologic data indicative of a physiologic characteristic of a patient and at least one processor. A memory is coupled to the at least one processor. The memory stores program instructions and processed data. The program instructions are executable by the at least one processor to execute general operational functions within the IMD. A hybrid signal processing (HSP) circuit is coupled to the at least one processor and the sensing circuit. The HSP circuit is adapted to filter the physiologic data. The HSP circuit comprises a plurality of first order filters, a plurality of higher order filters, and a switch matrix that is configured to interconnect a combination of the first and higher order filters to form a hybrid digital filter having a select composite frequency response that utilizes no more than a select power demand.

    摘要: A method for electronic circuit spectral analysis includes receiving a list of parts for an electronic circuit, determining a part admittance matrix with algebraic nodes for each part, and determining a circuit admittance matrix for exterior nodes, interior nodes, and algebraic nodes based on the part admittance matrices. The method also includes reducing interior nodes of the circuit admittance matrix for exterior nodes, interior nodes, and algebraic nodes to determine a circuit admittance matrix for exterior nodes and algebraic nodes, reducing algebraic nodes to transform the circuit admittance matrix for exterior nodes and algebraic nodes into a Green's Function, evaluating the Green's Function to determine a circuit exterior node admittance matrix over a frequency spectrum, and transforming the circuit exterior node admittance matrix to a circuit scattering matrix over the frequency spectrum.

    摘要: Values representative of modulation signal components are extracted from a modulated signal. The modulated signal contains a modulation signal. A local clock signal is developed which correlates in time to the modulated signal and has a plurality of non-overlapping phase sectors per cycle. The modulated signal is accumulated into an accumulated value, separately for at least one phase sector of one cycle of the local clock signal. Each accumulated value is representative of a modulation signal component. The modulated signal accumulated is of an amount representative of the mathematical integral of the modulated signal during each phase sector of the local clock over which the modulated signal is accumulated.

    摘要: A method of signal processing and, in particular, a method of decomposing non-stationary signals representative of a physiological phenomenon into functional components, and to estimate parameters characterizing each of those functional components. The method utilises means for estimating dynamic and baseline trends in the time course of the signal, means for dividing the non-stationary signal into the segments over which the functional components are developed and means for compensating for overlap from QGK matched to preceding functional components to form an ECK. The compensation comprises means for transforming the ECK to a frequency domain, means for estimating the weight and dispersion parameters of the QGK, and validation of the parameter reliability, means for estimating the onset time of the QGK, means for expansion of the model of the non-stationary signal after each cycle of recursion, means for removal of unfavourable QGKs and rearrangement of remaining QGKs and means for creating partial models of the non-stationary signal with parameters belonging to predefined classes.

    摘要: The tone generator uses a highly accurate frequency signal to generate an accurate and stable tone signal. A cadence pattern may be used to output the tone signal onto a test cable in an easily distinguishable pattern. The tone signal may be selectively output at an in-band band frequency or an out-band frequency. A corresponding tone probe may be used to detect the tone signal. The tone probe uses a high-Q bandpass filter to reject all but the expected frequency of the tone signal. The signal passing the bandpass filter is proportional to the detected tone signal. The tone probe generates an audio signal unrelated to the frequency of the tone signal. The audio signal is modulated by the signal from the bandpass filter, and then broadcast through a speaker. Accordingly, the tone probe provides an audible sound proportional to the strength of the tone signal, but is unrelated in frequency.
