APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING BIOMEDICAL SIGNALS FOR DISPLAY
Apparatus and methods remove a voltage offset from an electrical signal, specifically a biomedical signal. A signal is received at a first operational amplifier and is amplified by a gain. An amplitude of the signal is monitored, by a first pair of diode stages coupled to an output of the first operational amplifier, for the voltage offset. The amplitude of the signal is then attenuated by the first pair of diode stages and a plurality of timing banks. The attenuating includes limiting charging, by the first pair of diode stages, of the plurality of timing banks and setting a time constant based on the charging. The attenuating removes the voltage offset persisting at a threshold for a duration of at least the time constant. Saturation of the signal is limited to a saturation recovery time while the saturated signal is gradually pulled into monitoring range over the saturation recovery time.

Audible noise reduction in an audio power amplifier
Aspects disclosed herein eliminate audible disturbances that may occur when an audio amplifier is activated and deactivated. A feedback circuit is used to maintain a closed loop when transistors of a power output stage are activate or deactivated, thereby enabling the charge to build or dissipate without causing an audible disturbance. Further, in certain implementations, the power output stage may remain in an enable state for a period of time after deactivation of the audio amplifier regardless of whether an audio input signal is received enabling dissipation of charge without causing an audible disturbance.

The embodiment further includes a plurality of intracardiac (IC) circuit boards, each configured to process a corresponding IC signal. The ECG circuit board and the plurality of IC circuit boards share substantially a same circuit configuration and components. The ECG circuit board further processes the ECG signal using substantially a same path as each IC circuit board uses to process its corresponding IC signal.
Systems and methods to visually align signals using delay
Systems, methods, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed for processing and displaying multiple signals in near real-time. An embodiment operates by processing, using a first digital signal processor (DSP) of a first signal module, a first packet associated with a first signal. The embodiment also processes, using a second DSP of a second signal module, a second packet associated with a second signal. The embodiment equalizes a first processing delay associated with the first DSP with a second processing delay associated with the second DSP such that the first DSP completes processing of the first packet approximately simultaneously with the second DSP completing processing of the second packet. The embodiment then displays the processed first packet approximately simultaneously with the display of the processed second packet.
