Title: Conception de metrique de qualite d'un signal pour des donnees physiologiques
Inventor: BAKER CLARK R JR
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2003-12-29
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de déterminer la qualité d'un signal utilisé pour mesurer un paramètre physiologique. Un mode de réalisation de cette invention concerne un oxymètre de pulsation, le paramètre physiologique mesuré comprenant la vitesse de pulsation et la saturation d'oxygène dans le sang du patient. La qualité du signal, indiquant la précision et la fiabilité du paramètre physiologique mesuré, est calculée par la combinaison d'une pluralité d'indicateurs de signal, chacun étant un indicateur d'une qualité du signal mesuré. La valeur de la métrique de la qualité du signal est comparée à un seuil et des décisions sont effectuées par le dispositif médical d'après cette comparaison. Une des décisions est de savoir s'il faut ou non afficher le paramètre physiologique mesuré, afin de garantir que seules les valeurs mesurées précises sont affichées. Une autre décision consiste à apporter une rétroaction afin de guider le clinicien et de permettre de régler l'emplacement du capteur à un emplacement tissulaire plus approprié.

Abstract: Each base station (FZ1, FZn) transmits an individually-allocated pilot signal (PS1, PSn). At least one radio communication transmitter (MT1) in a first cell (FZ1) receives both the pilot signal (PS1) from the first base station (BTS1) allocated to the first cell, and also pilot signals (PS2) from one or more further adjacent base stations (BST2). At least one radio communication transmitter (MT1) determines a synchronization value (SYN-MT1) from the received pilot signals (PS1, PS2), for time- and/or frequency synchronization. The first base station takes into account the synchronization value (SYN-MT1) transmitted by return from the radio communication terminal unit (MT1), for its synchronization. An independent claim is included for the corresponding base station with transmitter.
