Abstract: A pulse oximeter which determines multiple heart rates, and selects between them based on the metrics of only one of the heart rate calculations. A primary heart rate calculation method is selected, and is used unless its metrics indicate questionable accuracy, in which case an alternative rate calculation is available and is used instead.

Abstract: A pulse oximeter method and apparatus which provides (1) a notch filter (46) at a distance between a modulation frequency and a common multiple of commonly used power line frequencies (50, 60, 100 and 120) and also (2) a demodulation frequency greater than a highest pulse rate of a person and lower than any harmonic of 50, 60, 100 or 120 Hz, to filter ambient light interference, while choosing an optimum demodulation frequency that avoids interference from the notch filter or from harmonics of the line interference. Also, ambient light for any low frequency interference, such as power line interference, is measured both before and after each of the light emitter wavelengths and the average of the ambient light is then subtracted from the detected signal.

Abstract: A pulse oximeter with drive lines for driving red and IR LEDs, and a drive circuit for driving those drive lines. A processor controls the drive circuit using a red zero output line and an IR zero output line directly connected between the processor and the drive circuit. This allows a control signal to directly control the turning off of either the red or IR drive transistors to prevent forward current flow through the red and IR LEDs by overriding the ongoing programmable logic state machine control of the drive transistors. The effects of crosstalk and capacitive coupling are reduced as a result.

Abstract: An oximeter uses a sigma-delta modulator and a multi-bit ADC with PWM feedback enabling high precision multi-bit conversion. Demodulation is done in software, thus requiring only a single hardware path for both red and IR. Multiple capacitors are switched into the integrator in the sigma-delta modulator, with different capacitors for red, IR and dark signals, thus enabling the use of the single hardware path. A switching circuit at the input of the sigma-delta modulator acts as a sample and hold, controlled by the PWM feedback.

Abstract: A headband (102) with a tension indicator (110) having an elastic segment (102) sized to fit around a wearer's head; and a non-elastic segment (104) being smaller than and attached with the elastic segment (102). The non-elastic segment (104) is sized to span a portion of the elastic segment (102) when the elastic segment is stretched, and the non-elastic segment (104) is larger than the portion of the elastic segment (102) it spans when the elastic segment (102) is not stretched. The non-elastic segment (104) is attached with the elastic segment in such a manner that the non-elastic segment (104) projects out from the surface of the elastic portion when the headband is not sufficiently tight, thus creating a loop (110) which provides a visual indication that the headband needs re-tightening.
