Patent number: 9208770Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2014Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.Inventor: Bryan Severt Hallberg
