A control circuit for a switch unit of a clocked power supply circuit, the switch unit being designed to effect input-side excitation of a resonant transformer arrangement, comprises an input for receiving an auxiliary signal from the resonant transformer arrangement. The auxiliary signal exhibits an essentially fixed phase relation to a load alternating current flowing through a resonant circuit of the transformer arrangement. The control circuit further comprises a phase detector designed to detect reference crossing moments when the auxiliary signal crosses a predefined reference value, a driver controllable to switch the switch unit, and a synchronizer designed to synchronize a turn-on of the switch unit by the driver with regard to a phase position with the auxiliary signal so as to achieve a turn-on of the switch unit within a predetermined time interval around a zero crossing of a voltage present across the switch unit, or of a current flowing through the switch unit. The synchronizer is further designed to receive information about the reference crossing moments from the phase detector, and to provide a turn-on signal to the driver with a fixed phase delay at the reference crossing moments, so as to define turn-on moments at which the driver is to turn on the switch unit. The control circuit further comprises a detector designed to determine an amplitude information which depends on an amplitude or a mean value of the auxiliary signal, and a regulator designed to change an operating frequency in dependence on the amplitude information supplied by the detector, and to determine a period duration between turn-off moments at which the driver is to turn off the switch unit as a reciprocal of the operating frequency. An inventive resonance converter enables independent control of frequency and turn-on moments, or duty cycle, and thus enables a particularly efficient operation of the resonance converter, and a particularly precise regulation.

The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for detecting sleep apnea by analyzing characteristic physiological oscillations of the heart rate variability (HRV). Starting from recorded ECG data of the patient, for example, as a long-term sequence of the changing RR intervals, the heart rate variability is examined using autocorrelation calculations for the occurrence of rhythmic oscillations of various frequencies. If oscillations typical for apnea occur having very long period durations in the range of 20 to 80 seconds, these are detected as a maximum of the autocorrelation function. If a pathological sleep apnea accordingly exists, individual apnea events may be identified by prompt analysis of short recorded RR sequences, e.g., in the minute interval.

The transmitting node divides the packets into first and second packets transmitted in alternating periods.

The second module, the Clock Modification module, intercepts the time signal generated by the operating system under which the software application is executing and modifies the clock signal, typically by advancing the time at a rate which is faster than one second per second, i.e., normal time rate. With the subject system, the behavior of an application over a simulated period may be observed in just a fraction of the simulated period duration, e.g. one year of simulated testing performance in five days. For systems or applications where behavior is influenced by the historical pattern of use, the disclosed technique for time compression can identify defects that normally occur only after extended periods of use.
