Abstract: A non-invasive fetal monitoring system includes a plurality of contact elements, each of the contact elements comprising a plurality of electrodes configured in a unique pattern. The plurality of contact elements are configured for attachment to an external skin surface of a pregnant female for detecting fetal and/or maternal electrical activity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device, system and method for controlling a data acquisition device and inserting the acquired data into the memory of an electronic device with minimal buffering of the data. An interface device, separate from the electronic device and capable of highly accurate timing, controls a data acquisition device. This interface device provides an interface between real time data and non real time operating system running on the electronic device. By sending data to a non-real time system in a near real-time manner, the non-real time system can continue the processing of the data either in near real time, or it can store the data for later processing.

Abstract: A method for fetal monitoring includes acquiring electrical signals from a set of electrodes, for example, a set of surface electrodes applied to a maternal abdominal region. The electrical signals are analyzed, including by performing a morphological analysis of fetal electrocardiogram signals. A clinical indicator is then determined from a result of performing the morphological analysis.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing an active standby control system comprising the steps of providing a first and second controller, each controller having an operating state. Each controller is operably connected to a network. Assigning a network identifier, i.e., Internet Protocol, Media Access Control address, etc., to each controller and sensing the operating state of each controller. The network identifier of each controller is determined by the operating state of each respective controller.
