High-frequency signal stimulator system

A high-frequency signal stimulator system has at least two mutually independent data producers, signal processing and a signal generator. The at least two mutually independent data producers are each configured to produce at least one data packet describing a high-frequency signal to be produced. The signal processing is configured to extract a signal of the data packet produced by the first of the at least two mutually independent data producers and contents of the data packet produced by the second of the at least two mutually independent data producers. The signal generator is configured to produce a high-frequency signal based on the extracted contents.

Apparatus and methods for removing a large-signal voltage offset from a biomedical signal

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.

Systems and methods for performing electrophysiology (EP) signal processing

Systems, methods, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed for filtering noise from an input signal. An embodiment accesses the input signal having a first harmonic frequency and having the noise. The embodiment determines a quiet period in the input signal. The embodiment stores samples of the noise of the input signal in a buffer during the quiet period. The embodiment subtracts the samples from a single cycle of the noise in the buffer from the input signal to create a filtered signal. The embodiment then repeats the determining, storing, and subtracting to refine the filtered signal.
