Abstract: A signal filter includes a first adaptive filter receiving a desired signal containing a noise component and a first noise correlated reference signal, and outputting a first filtered output signal. A second adaptive filter, receives the desired signal containing the noise component and a second noise correlated reference signal and outputs a second filtered output signal. Signal filter parameters of the second adaptive filter are controlled based on the first filtered output signal and the second filtered output signal.

Abstract: A myocardial analysis and monitoring method, comprising the steps of receiving a number of ECG signals relating to a heartbeat of at least one patient, converting the received number of ECG signals into three perpendicular ECG signals, determining an average heartbeat from the ECG signals, calculating a plurality of parameters related to a condition of each patient from the number of ECG signals, storing information representative of a value of the plurality of parameters related to the condition of each patient in storage, repeating the steps of determining the average heartbeat, calculating the plurality of parameters and storing the information for as long as ECG signals continue to be received or until the storage is full, displaying at least a portion of the stored information as a graphical display, the graphical display representing a trend of at least one of the plurality of parameters, analyzing the displayed trend of the at least one of the plurality of parameters, and displaying at least one result

Abstract: An EMI-tight strain relief for a cable having a tubular crimp sleeve which is crimped onto the end of the cable and which includes structure for securing the strain relief in an opening in the wall of an apparatus housing. The sleeve has a crimpable portion including a circumferential groove for equalizing the necessary crimping force.

Abstract: A tool for crimping a tubular crimp sleeve onto the end of a cable. The tool includes a frame structure, having two mutually opposing frame legs, which receives a crimping insert for a selected sleeve size. The insert includes two blocks that are brought together by means of a screw which, with the aid of a lever, is screwed through one of the frame legs so as to press the insert blocks together. A spring element strives to separate the two insert blocks, and at least one of the frame legs includes a recess for receiving the end of a corresponding one of the insert blocks.

Abstract: An EMI-tight strain relief for a screened cable having a tubular crimp sleeve which is crimped onto the end of the cable and which includes structure for securing the strain relief in an opening in the wall of an apparatus housing. The sleeve has a crimpable portion including a circumferential groove for equalizing the necessary crimping force.

Abstract: A cardiac monitoring and telemedicine method and system provides advanced ischemia and infarction analysis and monitoring. Advanced calculations are performed on ECG signals to obtain parameter values relating to myocardial ischemia and infarction. Dominant heart beats are averaged to form a smooth beat, which is analyzed to determine the parameter values continuously and in real-time. The device includes an entry portion for input of information data and a communication portion for bi-directional communication with a central unit.

Abstract: A valve device for influencing an overpressurized flow of media comprises a control valve for controlling the flow of media, and a closing valve which is either totally open or totally closed to stop the flow. The valves are arranged in a common valve housing and can seal independently of each other against a common valve seat. The valve seat presents an outlet side which forms the outlet channel of the valve device. The valve device can be made compact, and the number of necessary redirections of the flow of media is minimized.

Abstract: A cardiac monitoring method and system provides advanced ischemia and infarction analysis and monitoring. Advanced calculations are performed on ECG signals to obtain parameter values relating to myocardial ischemia and infarction. Dominant heart beats are averaged to form a smooth beat, which is analyzed to determine the parameter values continuously and in real-time. The result of each analyzed time interval is presented as points in a trend graph on a monitoring display. All calculations are performed on-line and the trend curves are updated immediately. Systems and methods for monitoring, analyzing, and/or diagnosing cardiac activity that display a state of signals received from leads attached to a patient on a graphic depiction of the patient are also provided. The graphic depiction of the patient may include electrode position information.

Abstract: The invention resides in the provision of a sludge recirculation controlled in this manner within the centrifuge rotor itself. For this reason there has been arranged centrally in the rotor, apart from a previously known reception chamber (10) for separated sludge, a recirculation chamber (14) to which sludge is transferred from the reception chamber (10). An overflow outlet (15) maintains a free liquid surface in the recirculation chamber (14) at a predetermined radial level. Recirculation channels (16), which are formed so that the flow therethrough will automatically be controlled depending upon the viscosity of the separated sludge, will conduct such sludge from the recirculation chamber (14) back to the radially outermost parts of the separation chamber (5).
