An acquired signal indicative of electrophysiological activity is filtered using both a wavelet filter and either a notch filter or a band-pass filter to eliminate noise or interference, such as power line interference. A wavelet transform is used to transform the acquired signal into the wavelet domain, where a wavelet filter is applied to extract a soft component (e.g., a component with small wavelet coefficients). A filter, such as a notch filter or a band-pass filter, is applied to the soft component in order to isolate an interference signal. The interference signal is used to produce an output signal representing the acquired signal filtered to eliminate the interference signal. For example, the interference signal may be subtracted from the acquired signal. Alternatively, the output signal may be reconstructed from respective hard and soft components of the acquired signal as transformed into the wavelet domain.

Power line disturbance hold up times are dynamically adjusted prior to the commencement of the power disturbance failover based on battery capacity of batteries in racks of the storage system as the batteries either fail, are repaired, or are added to the storage system having at least one uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

A pulse oximeter method and apparatus which provides (1) a notch filter 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.

Novel circuits for providing ride-through during unpredictable power line disturbances are disclosed in connection with low-power electronic devices. Such low-power electronics devices are typically subjected to undesirable lock-ups and reboots under momentary power line disturbances such as voltage sags, voltage swells, and other momentary line power disturbances. Diagnostics and visual indication are also integrated in the circuits to allow consumers to correlate equipment lock-up and malfunction with power disturbances, and to provide service providers with various analytics and historical data on the recorded disturbances. To reduce cost, the disclosed circuits utilize a simple DC capacitor without any additional power conditioning switches or converters. In one exemplary embodiment, the disclosed circuits are embedded inside a power line cord to provide a ride-through during the brief interval of time such power line disturbances occur.

A technique for real-time removal of power line interference (PLI) in electrocardiograms (ECG) with sampling rate a relevant integer multiple of the nominal power line frequency (NPLF), comprising band-pass PLI filtering of the ECG, determining expedient weights and weighted Least-Squares parabolic approximating downsampled to the NPLF series of band-pass PLI filtered values.
