Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to detecting apneic and/or hypopneic events, utilizing a physiological signal. Various apparatuses and/or methods involve computing time series of interbeat intervals are from data characterizing activity of a beating heart, decomposing the time series is into subcomponents, and identifying ones of the subcomponents that relate to a portion of the data during which an apneic and/or hypopneic, as may be detected via oximetry. Once identified, these subcomponents and related formula/weighting can be utilized in computing further subcomponents from the data, and identifying further apneic and/or hypopneic events therefrom. In this context, such events may be detected without necessarily involving further use of oximetry.

Apneic/hypopneic assessment via physiological signals

A bottle plate mates or is integrated with brackets for mounting a gas bottle atop the plate. An aft end of the bottle plate is spacedly affixed to a top of a base plate, the bottle plate being bendable about its aft end corresponding to the weight of a bottle mounted thereon. A plurality of guide pins disposed at a fore end of the bottle plate prevents lateral movement of the fore end with respect to the base plate, but allows to a limited extent displacement of the fore end due to bottle weight. Any displacement of the fore end due to bottle weight is converted to a corresponding bottle weight and a display indicates same to a user. The base plate is used to securely mount the apparatus.
