Abstract

Digital Signal Processing (DSP) based Enhanced Data Acquisition System for Electrocardiography/Verctorcardiography (ECG/VCG) has been developed. The system is based on Texas Instrument's TMS320C25 Digital Signal Processor which has the capability of executing 5 Million Instructions Per Second (MIPS) at peak speed. This processor provides the necessary requirements of parallel processing, instruction pipelining, execution of multiple instructions in a single clock cycle for real time data acquisition and analysis of Bio Signals. The present work describes the enhanced data acquisition system using DSP chip along with its peripherals.

Linear servo-controlled pressure generator for forced oscillation measurements.

In respiratory input impedance measurements, the low-frequency range contains important clinical and physiological information. However, the patient's spontaneous ventilation can contaminate the data in this range, leading to unreliable results. Unbiased estimators are a good alternative to overcome this problem, provided that the generator is considered linear. This condition is not fulfilled by most existing generators as they are based on loudspeakers, which have strong nonlinearities. The present work aims to contribute to the solution of this problem, and describes a pressure generator that minimises the nonlinearities by an optical sensor placed in a position feedback loop. The static evaluation shows a high linearity for the optical system. The well known frequency response of pressure transducers is used in the dynamic evaluation of the instrument. The analysis of the generator shows that the use of position feedback improved the frequency response. The total harmonic distortion (THD) measurement shows that closed loop resulted in an effective decrease in the nonlinearities. The reduction of THD achieved by the servo-controlled generator can contribute to the practical implementation of the unbiased estimators, increasing the reliability of the impedance data, especially in the low-frequency range. This system is compared with conventional generators and with another servo-controlled system.
