Abstract: A method for determining a composition of a gas sample comprising the following steps: running the sample through a processing chain comprising a gas chromatography column and a gas detector arranged at the outlet of the gas chromatography column; obtaining, at the output of the detector, a representative electrical signal of the composition; determining the gas composition by processing this electrical signal. The determination of the composition of the sample is performed on the basis of a combination of a direct probabilistic model of the chromatography column, this model comprising at least one law of probability defining, for at least one gas species liable to be found in the sample, a probability at each moment that a molecule of this gas species is discharged from the chromatography column, and an impulse response model of the detector. It is performed by inverting this combination of models using the electrical signal.

Abstract: A method for processing cardiac signals includes accepting, from a sensor system, a set of one or more signals, the signals including components of a desired cardiac signal and components of a substantially periodic interfering signal. The method is applicable for extraction of desired fetal cardiac signals from signals with interference from the maternal cardiac signal. A periodicity of the interfering signal is determined, and one or more iterations of mitigating an effect of a component of the signals that exhibit periodicity at the determined periodicity of the interfering signal are performed. In some examples, the method further includes determining a periodicity of the desired cardiac signal, and performing one or more iterations of enhancing an effect of a component of the signals that exhibit periodicity at the determined periodicity of the desired cardiac signal.
