A mass flowmeter employing thermal dispersion technology, and method for determining mass flow of a fluid throughout a range beyond that which possible for a constant &#x394;T instrument at increasing power, and below that with which a constant power instrument can provide rapid &#x394;T readings.

Mass flowmeter using thermal dispersion technology

An apparatus and method for detecting an atrial fibrillation through monitoring the R&#x2014;R intervals of a patient's QRS complexes. Ratios of the current R&#x2014;R interval are made to previous R&#x2014;R intervals. Multiple moving averages are taken of the ratio results. The ratios are compared to a validating threshold and if the particular ratio is within a selected range, a moving average is calculated with inclusion of the present R&#x2014;R interval. If the ratio is outside the range, a moving average is calculated without inclusion of the current R&#x2014;R interval. The moving averages are combined and this difference average is compared to a trigger threshold. If the difference average exceeds the threshold, an atrial fibrillation is determined to exist, a memory trigger is provided, and the QRS complex data within a selected period of time about the atrial fibrillation event are recorded and removed from overwrite status in the memory. A reset threshold, differing from the trigger threshold, is used and if the difference average falls below the reset threshold, the method and apparatus are re-enabled to record a new AFIB event.
