20090043221	APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HIGH-SPEED DETERMINATION OF BIOELECTRIC ELECTRODE IMPEDANCES - Apparatuses and methods are provided for determining electrode impedances of a bioelectric signal-monitoring/recording system that includes an amplifier, and electrodes connected between a subject and the amplifier. An example apparatus includes: a voltage source outputting a voltage signal; a switching arrangement including an input electrically connected with the voltage source for receiving the voltage signal, an output electrically connected with the amplifier and the electrodes, and switches between the input and the output; and a controller in communication with the switches for opening and closing the switches to establish signal paths between the voltage source and the output, the controller calculating the electrode impedances relative to voltage outputs of the amplifier for each signal path.	02-12-2009

20090069703	SYSTEM FOR ARTIFACT DETECTION AND ELIMINATION IN AN ELECTROCARDIOGRAM SIGNAL RECORDED FROM A PATIENT MONITOR - A system eliminates artifacts from an electrocardiogram signal. The system includes a monitor for receiving an electrocardiogram signal from a patient and a microprocessor utilizing a shift-invariant wavelet transform for decomposing the electrocardiogram signal into a plurality of scales. The microprocessor applies rules to the scales for removing artifacts from the scales. The microprocessor reassembles the plurality of scales to produce a reconstructed and accurate electrocardiogram signal without the artifacts.	03-12-2009
