An implantable medical device (IMD) capable of monitoring physiologic data, distinguishing relatively noisy and noise free physiologic data, and recording noisy and relatively noise free segments of physiologic data in separate memory registers of a limited memory for retrieval and analysis at a later time. Preferably the physiologic data comprises the sampled EGM of the heart detected from sense electrode pairs that are implanted in the patient at sites where extraneous electrical noise, e.g., electromyographic signals, are also capable of being detected. The sense electrode pairs can constitute one or both sense electrodes located on or adjacent to the atrial and / or ventricular heart chambers and coupled to the IMD by a lead body or sense electrode pairs that are located remotely from the heart, e.g. at a subcutaneous implantation site of the IMD. A plurality of noisy EGM episode data registers store a corresponding plurality of noisy EGM episode data sets on a FIFO basis and another plurality of noise free EGM episode data registers to store a corresponding plurality of relatively noise free EGM episode data sets on a FIFO basis. Any form of discrimination of noisy data from relatively noise free data can be employed at the time of recording, but because the stored EGM episode data sets are subsequently viewed and analyzed by a physician, discrimination with absolute certainty is not required, and the physician can alter the detection criteria to fine tune it.

Noise reduction in a one- or two-dimensional capacitive sensor array is achieved by rejecting and re-acquiring noisy signals. The sensor array is formed of crossed X and Y lines for drive and sense functions respectively, each of the X lines being driven in turn to acquire a full frame of data from the sensor array. A controller actuates the X lines in turn and, for each X line, charge is transferred to charge measurement capacitors connected to respective ones of the Y lines. The controller measures a signal value from a first one of the measurement capacitors, and then tests if that Y signal value has a magnitude lying within an acceptable range. If not, the measurement capacitors are all reset without their signal values being measured, and the controller re-drives the same X line to initiate another charge transfer into the measurement capacitors for that X line. It is then attempted once again to acquire Y signal values for that X line. Noisy signal values are thus rejected, and the sensor re-acquires substitute signal values. This is distinct from the approach of acquiring data and then reprocessing it to remove or suppress noisy data as in the prior art.

A method of image processing using kernel regression is provided. An image gradient is estimated from original data that is analyzed for local structures by computing a scaling parameter, a rotation parameter and an elongation parameter using singular value decomposition on local gradients of the estimated gradients locally to provide steering matrices. A steering kernel regression having steering matrices is applied to the original data to provide a reconstructed image and new image gradients. The new gradients are analyzed using singular value decomposition to provide new steering matrices. The steering kernel regression with the new steering matrices is applied to the noisy data to provide a new reconstructed image and further new gradients. The last two steps are repeated up to ten iterations to denoise the original noisy data and improve the local image structure.

An automatic peak selection method for multidimensional data that selects peaks from very noisy data such as two-dimensional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) data is described. Such data are characterized by non-normally distributed noise that varies in different dimensions. The method computes local noise thresholds for each one-dimensional component of the data. Each point has a local noise threshold applied to it for each dimension of the data set, and a point is selected as a candidate peak only if its value exceeds all of the applied local noise thresholds. Contiguous candidate peaks are clustered into actual peaks. The method is preferably implemented as part of a high-throughput platform for analyzing complex biological mixtures.

Methods and apparatus for estimating and correcting carrier frequency offsets in a bust multi-tone receiver are described. Course and fine carrier frequency estimates are generated from the signal's preamble. Decision directed carrier frequency offset estimates are then generated from the signal field and data fields of the multi-tone signal. Frequency error estimates are generated for each tone of the signal and combined using a weighted average to generate the frequency error estimate used to perform the correction operation. Error estimates corresponding to noisy data tones are weighted less then estimates corresponding to less noisy data tones. In cases of low SNR frequency error estimates corresponding to pilots are weighted by an extra amount as compared to error estimates corresponding to tones used to transmit data symbols. During times of high SNR error estimates corresponding to pilot tones are weighted in the same manner as error estimates corresponding to data tones.

Lossless and lossy codes are combined for data compression. In one embodiment, the most significant bits of each value are losslessly coded along with a lossy version of the original data. Upon decompression, the lossless reduced-precision values establish absolute bounds for the lossy code. Another embodiment losslessly codes the leading bits while trailing bits undergo lossy coding. Upon decompression, the two codes are summed. The method preserves edges and other sharp transitions for superior lossy compression. Additionally, the method enables description-length inference using noisy data.

A noisy data alignment algorithm for determining cycle count offsets for noisy pairs of n monitoring devices. A direct cycle count offset matrix is determined based upon the highest correlation coefficients produced by correlating frequency variation data from each device pair Dij. For each direct cycle count offset Mij, indirect cycle count offsets are calculated as a function of at least Mk, where k≠i≠j, to produce indirect cycle count offsets.

All indirect cycle count offsets for all other unique device pairs, Mij, are calculated to iterate to a single solution in which all indirect cycle count offsets are equal to the corresponding direct cycle count offset. An optional verification algorithm is also provided.

A method and system for recognizing (and / or predicting) failures of sensors used in monitoring gas turbines applies a sparse coding process to collected sensor readings and defines the L-1 norm residuals from the sparse coding process as indicative of a potential sensor problem. Further evaluation of the group of residual sensor readings is perform to categorize the group and determine if there are significant outliers (“abnormal data”), which would be considered as more likely associated with a faulty sensor than noisy data. A time component is introduced into the evaluation that compares a current abnormal result with a set of prior results and making the faulty sensor determination if a significant number of prior readings also have an abnormal value. By taking the time component into consideration, the number of false positives is reduced.
