Title: Method for blind extraction of fetal electrocardio based on time-frequency conversion
Inventor: KAN XIE
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2016-10-25
Abstract: A method for extracting foetal ECG from combined maternal and foetal ECG measured using abdominal electrodes uses a separation vector, and is based on the relative sparse characteristic of the source signal in time domain. A plurality of mixed mother-fetus electrocardio signals from different positions on the abdomen of a mother are collected and pre-processed. Two of the mixed signals are selected using maximum SNR, and positions of QRS wave groups of the maternal ECG and fetal ECG are determined to identify relatively sparse periods of the electrocardiograms where the QRS groups of the maternal ECG and FECG do not overlap. The relatively sparse periods are converted to a time-frequency domain using an ambiguity function, and signal items and cross items in each time-frequency distribution are calculated. A control function is constructed based on general Rayleigh quotient to separate the maternal and fetal signals.

Title: Ion mobility separation exit transmission control
Inventor: MARTIN RAYMOND GREEN
IPC: H01J49/06
Filed: 2016-12-22
Abstract: An ion guide 40 comprises an ion confinement region having a first cross-sectional profile with a first cross-sectional area in a plane orthogonal to a direction of ion transmission. An attenuation device ejects or deflects ions having spatial positions which fall outside of a second cross-sectional profile having a second cross-sectional area which is smaller than the first cross-sectional area. The ions may be distributed substantially homogenously in a direction orthogonal to the direction of ion transmission or within the second cross-sectional profile. The ion guide may have an extended ion trapping region, which may enable an ion beam to be attenuated without suffering from stratification effects wherein ions exiting the device take up radial positions which are dependent upon their mass to charge ratio and/or their charge state. This may provide an improved method of attenuating an ion beam without mass to charge ratio and/or charge state discrimination effects.

Filed: 2017-12-20
Abstract: An apparatus for determining values of properties of n layers of a borehole comprises a at least (2n-1) sensors. Particularly n=2 and the layers are a mudcake layer and a rock layer. The sensors 19,21,22 have mutually differing geometric factors i.e. depth of investigation (DOI) profiles and are capable of detecting reflected or transmitted electromagnetic energy. A sensor pad 24 supports the sensor members adjacent and/or in contact with the borehole wall. The apparatus is capable of causing transmission of electromagnetic energyalong, and/or reflection of electromagnetic energy at, each sensor. This permits the calculation of values of properties (e.g. mudcake thickness, permittivity, dielectric constant) of such layers based on reflected or transmitted energy values detected at the sensors. The sensors may be open ended coaxial reflectometers or coplanar waveguide sensors of differing sizes. Also disclosed are methods of using two sensors which output signals indicative of differing mixtures of first and further parameters of a borehole system to determine a value of a compensated first parameter.
