New Biomedical Engineering Data Have Been Reported by M. Kotas and Co-Authors.(Report)

"In this paper we propose a new structure of the instrumentation for electrocardiographic fetal monitoring. We apply a single-channel approach to maternal electrocardiogram suppression in the recorded four abdominal bioelectric signals," researchers in Zabrze, Poland report (see also Biomedical Engineering).

"Then we exploit spatial and temporal properties of the extracted four-channel fetal electrocardiogram to construct a new channel with higher signal-to-noise ratio. Finally, we perform detection of fetal QRS complexes. The proposed approach is investigated with the help of the constructed database of the maternal abdominal signals. During the detection tests, the …
