Abstract: A monitoring apparatus and method includes a monitor, a sensor comprising a wireless connection with the monitor, and an adapter comprising the wireless connection with the monitor and a wired or wireless connection with a remote monitoring station. The monitor is designed to wirelessly pair with the sensor and/or the adapter when being only positioned by a user in a closed proximity to the sensor and/or the adapter or in a direct contact with the sensor and/or the adapter and without an additional action by the user and/or a wired connection between the monitor and the sensor and/or the adapter. A pairing alignment mark may be provided on each of the monitor, sensor and adapter.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise a method, apparatus or system for dynamic addressing decimation filtering. In various embodiments, the apparatus comprises an analog modulator and a multi-bit dynamically addressing decimation filter. By pairing an analog modulator with the proper configuration with a multi-bit dynamically addressing decimation filter with the proper matching number of physical sub decimation filters, decimation filtering can be completed with a smaller number of physical sub decimation filters “N” than the quantizer level “M.
