  • Patent number: 4658831
    Abstract: The invention is a telemetric biomedical system for simultaneously transmitting a pacer pulse together with lower frequency ECG wave forms and a loose lead signal. The loose lead signal is a low frequency signal applied across the skin electrodes which are attached to a patient subject to cardiac monitoring. In the event that such electrodes should become detached or poorly coupled to the patient, the loose lead signal tends to become open circuited across the leads and can be detected. The loose lead signal and ECG wave form since from the patient, is transmitted in an FM/FM modulated signal, while the pacer pulse is separated from the ECG wave form prior to amplification and is simultaneously transmitted as an FM modulated signal. In addition thereto, various alarm signals are transmitted as FM modulated signals with the pacer pulse.

  • Patent number: 4066974
    Abstract: There is disclosed an isolation amplifier having an input amplifier, an output amplifier, a transformer having primary and secondary windings, an alternator connected to the secondary winding of the transformer for alternately presenting a voltage and a high impedance to the secondary winding, a first switching device connected between the primary winding of the transformer and the output of the input amplifier for connecting the output of the input amplifier to the primary winding when the alternator presents a high impedance to the secondary winding and for disconnecting the output of the input amplifier from the primary winding when the alternator presents a voltage to the secondary winding and a second switching device connected between the secondary winding and the input to the output amplifier therefore connecting the input of the output amplifier to the secondary winding when the alternator presents a high impedance to the secondary winding and disconnecting the input of the output amplifier from the s

  • Patent number: 3947779
    Abstract: There is disclosed a circuit arrangement of a bipolar device connected in a circuit arrangement with unidirectional conducting devices connected between the input terminals of a differential amplifier for biasing purposes and a simplified electromagnetically coupled signal conditioning circuit and power supply and switching circuit combination whereby common mode, isolation and overload problems are avoided and the lack of input overload indication is overcome.
