Developments and Control of Biocompatible Conducting Polymer for Intracorporeal Continuum Robots.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Common-mode noise degrades cardiovascular signal quality and diminishes measurement accuracy. Filtering to remove noise components in the frequency domain often distorts the signal. METHOD:Two adaptive noise canceling (ANC) algorithms were tested to adjust weighted reference signals for optimal subtraction ...
