Analog or digital systems (10) and methods generate a composite signal derived from a biological event in a time sequential fashion. A first set of signals derived from a biological event using a first group of sensors (20) during a first time interval is input. A second set of signals derived from the biological event during a second time interval sequentially after the first time interval using a second group of sensors (36) is input.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 14, 1996 and granted June 17, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 14, 2016.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
