VENTRICULAR FAR FIELD ESTIMATION USING AUTOENCODER
A method is provided. The method includes receiving input intracardiac signals from a monitoring and processing apparatus. Each of the input intracardiac signals includes artifacts. The method includes encoding, by an autoencoder, the input intracardiac signals utilizing an intracardiac dataset to produce a latent representation. The method also includes decoding, by an autoencoder, the latent representation to produce output intracardiac signals. The output intracardiac signals include the input intracardiac signals reconstructed without the signal artifacts.

BIOLOGICAL SIGNAL MEASUREMENT DEVICE, BIOLOGICAL STATE INFERENCE DEVICE, AND BIOLOGICAL STATE INFERENCE SYSTEM
There are provided a biological signal measurement device capable of obtaining a variety of biological information and applicable also to medical fields and the like, a biological state inference device, and a biological state inference system using these. The biological signal measurement device 1 of the present invention includes three biological signal detection units, namely, a left upper part biological signal detection unit 11, a right upper part biological signal detection unit 12, and a lower part biological signal detection unit 13. The biological state inference device 1 is capable of obtaining a highly precise inference-use processed waveform from which electrical noise has been removed, by using an appropriate combination of time-series data obtained from the three biological signal detection units 11 to 13. Because the precision of an inference-use processed waveform corresponding to target biological information on breathing, heart sound, or the like increases, the precision of inferring a biological state also increases.

Exhalation measurement device, and control method
The exhalation measurement device of certain implementations comprise a chamber, a measurement component, a piezoelectric pump, a first learning controller, and a second learning controller. The chamber may temporarily hold exhalation. The measurement component may measure a specific component in the exhalation. The piezoelectric pump may supply the measurement component with the exhalation held in the chamber. The first learning controller may perform operational setting on the piezoelectric pump before the piezoelectric pump supplies the exhalation in the chamber to the measurement component. The second learning controller may perform operational setting on the piezoelectric pump after the piezoelectric pump has started supplying the exhalation in the chamber to the measurement component, but before the measurement component performs its measurement.
METHOD FOR NONINVASIVE DETERMINATION OF HEMOGLOBIN AND OXYGEN CONCENTRATIONS IN THE BLOOD
The invention applies to the analysis of the chemical composition of materials and can be used primarily in diagnostic medical equipment for noninvasive determination of hemoglobin and oxygen concentrations contained in the blood.
The method proposes to alternately irradiate the biological tissue with optical radiation of the first, second, and third wavelength ranges, including 700 nm, 880 nm, and 960 nm, respectively, receive the reflected optical radiation, convert it to an electrical signal, determine the concentration of hemoglobin based on the sum of the electrical signals obtained by irradiating with optical radiation of the first and second ranges, which is reduced by a value determined by the electrical signal obtained upon irradiation with optical radiation of the third range, and determine the concentration of oxygen based on the difference between the electrical signals obtained by irradiating with optical radiation of the second and first ranges, which is reduced by a value determined by the electrical signal obtained by irradiating with optical radiation of the third range.
The invention provides a reduction in the error of determining the concentrations of hemoglobin and oxygen that stems from the presence of water in the biological tissue under study.
