  • Patent number: 9206461
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sensor including a detection unit having a detection electrode and a polymer layer that is disposed on the detection electrode and includes a mold having a three-dimensional structure complementary to a steric structure of a microorganism to be detected. The sensor detects the microorganism based on a state of capturing the microorganism in the mold. The polymer layer is formed by a manufacturing method including: a polymerization step of polymerizing a monomer in the presence of the microorganism to be detected, to form the polymer layer having captured the microorganism on the detection electrode; a destruction step of partially destroying the microorganism captured in the polymer layer; and a peroxidation step of peroxidizing the polymer layer to release the microorganism from the polymer layer.

  • Patent number: 9208770
    Abstract: A noise event suppression technique for a monitoring system detects a noise event in a signal waveform when a focal sample in the waveform has an amplitude greater than an amplitude of algorithmically determined earlier and later samples in the waveform that are noncontiguous with the focal sample. When the monitoring system detects the noise event, the monitoring system reduces the amplitude of the focal sample to an amplitude between those of the earlier and later samples. The monitoring system outputs data determined using the waveform once noise events have been adequately suppressed.
