Abstract

See full text

A variable threshold circuit is provided for use with a rate volume monitor. A series analog switch is controlled by a comparator which is biased by a voltage divider. During low rate exhalation by a patient the bias keeps the analog switch biased against conduction, and noise is suppressed. When exhalation is at a high rate a resistor is switched by a second analog switch into parallel with one of the resistors of the voltage divider to change the bias to the comparator, and thus to render the first analog switch conductive. At this time the high level of the exhilation signal masks any noise.
