Abstract: A system for synchronizing application of treatment signals with a cardiac rhythm is provided. The system includes a memory that receives and stores a synchronization signal indicating that a predetermined phase such as R-wave of a cardiac rhythm of a patient has started. A synchronization module analyzes whether the stored synchronization signal is erroneous and if so, prevents a medical treatment device from applying a treatment energy signal such as an IRE pulse to a patient to take into account an irregular heart beat and noise in the synchronization signal in order to maximize safety of the patient.

Abstract: A phase locked loop is augmented by an additional mechanism which permits the closed loop cancellation of the frequency perturbing effects on the oscillator by repetitive signals well beyond the bandwidth of the phase locked loop. Successful implementation requires that the perturbations be repetitive and that the perturbing signal be available as a reference, conditions which are commonly the case. This compound loop can effectively cancel perturbations whose dynamics change only slowly compared to the speed of the added synchronous loop.

Abstract: A comparator-based digital data separator is modified to operate in noisy signal environments, with signals characterized by extreme duty cycle. A demodulated binary signal is passed through a pair of diodes which produce a slack voltage. The signal is then passed through an RC low-pass filter, and is finally connected to an input of the comparator as the reference voltage. The low-pass filter, which provides the D.C. averaged voltage to the threshold comparator, receives current into its own input only when the demodulated signal excursions exceed the existing threshold voltage by more than the slack voltage. Consequently, assuming there exists a sufficiently large recovered signal, the voltage being used as the decision threshold will remain separated from the recovered signal excursion peaks by at least the amount of slack voltage. In so doing, the binary data separation is given improved noise immunity and reduced sensitivity to duty cycle variations.

Abstract: In the secure radio transmission system of the present invention the sign bit for each byte of audio digital data is scrambled to generate a scrambled sign bit. By altering the sign bit, the resultant sound is significantly affected regardless of the amplitude range of the source audio. A key is stored in each authorized radio transmitter/receiver telephone. The key is used to select the bits of the digital voice data to be transmitted which are used to scramble the sign bit. The selected bits of the voice data are then used to scramble the sign bit and the voice data with the scrambled sign bit are transmitted to the receiving device. The receiving device executes the reverse process wherein the receiving device selects predetermined bits of the received voice data according to the key stored in the receiving device and scrambles the scrambled sign bit using the same algorithm in accordance with the data bits selected.
