Abstract: A heat exchanger strip (19) which can be incorporated into a heat and moisture exchanger (10). The heat exchanger strip (19) includes an elongate polymer film having a longitudinal axis, a front and a back surface and a first and second edge (27, 29) generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the strip (19). A plurality of elongate curved spacers (24) are connected to the polymer film. Each spacer (24) can include a curved longitudinal axis and first and second edges (27, 29) disposed on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis of each spacer (24). The edges (27, 29) are generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the spacer (24). Spacers (24) can be connected to the front surface of the film such that the spacer's longitudinal axes extend generally parallel to each other between the first edge (27) of the strip (19) and the second edge (29) of the strip (19) to define three sides of a curved rectangular flow channel (28). The heat exchanger strip (19) can be disposed in a spiraling, generally cylindrically spaced roll such the heat exchanger strip (19) is arranged in generally concentric layers with the back surface of the polymer film defining a fourth side of the flow channel (28).

Abstract: Motion compensation is based on analysis of intensity signals received by detectors, without separately measuring a motion signal, without providing feedback to cancel the motion signal and without attempting to mathematically eliminate the motion signal. Instead, the present invention mathematically recognizes the presence of the motion signal and recognizes a few key characteristics of the motion signal and makes corresponding assumptions. First, it is recognized that the motion/noise in each wavelength signal is proportional. Second, it is assumed that the blood pulse signal is not affected by motion.

Abstract: A technique is provided for processing a physiological signal. The technique includes performing one or more multi-resolution decompositions on a physiological signal and one or more morphological operations on some or all of the respective decomposition components. In one embodiment, the technique is implemented as iteratively wavelet transformations where morphological operations, such as erosions and dilations, are applied to modify some or all of the respective wavelet coefficients. The modified wavelet coefficients may then be reconstructed to generate a clean version of the physiological signal from which some or all of the noise and/or artifacts have been removed.
