Apparatus and method for effecient representation of periodic and nearly periodic signals for analysis
First Claim
1. Apparatus for graphically representing a substantially periodic signal having substantially periodic segments, the apparatus comprising a graphic transformer for converting said periodic segments into encodings respectively for arrangement in a first dimension and successively indexing said encodings to form a two-dimensional coded image, thereby to represent, within said image, dynamic changes of said periodic segments over said signal.

Abstract
Apparatus for graphically representing a substantially periodic signal having substantially periodic segments, comprising a graphic transformer for converting the periodic segments into encodings respectively for arrangement in a first dimension and successively indexing the encodings to form a two-dimensional coded image, thereby to represent, within the image, dynamic changes of the periodic segments over the signal.

32. An electronic graphic representation of a periodic or semi-periodic signal, comprising:
-
a. a first dimension representing properties for a periodic segment of said signal, and b. a second dimension representing successive segments, thereby to form a two-dimensional coded image representative of dynamic changes within the periodicity of said signal. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)

- 40. A method of representing a substantially periodic signal having substantially periodic segments to show dynamic changes in the periodicity of a signal, the method comprising transforming said periodic segments into encodings respectively for arrangement in a first dimension and successively indexing said encodings to form a two-dimensional coded image, thereby to represent, within said image, dynamic changes of said periodic segments over said signal.
- 55. A method according to claim 54, wherein said periodic segments are accessible by pointing on said two-dimensional image.

61. A method of representing a non-periodic signal containing a plurality of recurring signal segments to show dynamic changes in said signal segments, the method comprising transforming said signal segments into encodings respectively for arrangement in a first dimension and successively indexing said encodings to form a two-dimensional coded image, thereby to represent, within said image, dynamic changes of said signal segments over said signal.
