  • Publication number: 20220330845
    Abstract: A detection probe and a fetal monitor. The detection probe comprises a probe body (2) and a mounting structure (1), detachably mounted on the probe body (2) and having a heart rate sensor for heart rate detection, a socket (4) for data transmission, and a lead line (5) for connecting the heart rate sensor and the socket (4) arranged thereon. A variety of functions can be achieved by means of a single detection device and thus the degree of integration is high; moreover, when the heart rate sensor is failed or aged, because the mounting structure (1) can be separated from the probe body (2), it is only necessary to repair and replace a corresponding part, so that the maintenance is convenient and the cost is reduced. Furthermore, the mounting structure (1) can also product the probe body (2) to some extent, and thus the anti-dropping capability of the detection probe is improved.

  • Patent number: 11076834
    Abstract: An ultrasound processing system includes an ultrasound interface and processing electronics. The ultrasound interface receives imaging information. The processing electronics are coupled to the ultrasound interface and are configured to perform processing across a plurality of ultrasound channels by combining channel data for adaptively reducing the common mode noise prior to beamforming for a transmit event. The combination of the channel data may be computing an arithmetic mean, which is then multiplied to a weighting coefficient. This value may then be removed from the individual channel data. The modified channel data is then transmitted to a beamformer, which processes the channel data for directional signal transmission and reception.
