-  DC component of IR and RED data (average) is calculated by digital low pass filter and subtracted from raw data to get AC components.
-  Then, square root means of AC component of RED and IR are calculated for every 100 samples.

-The last formula is read from the graph in https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/Appnotes/00001525B.pdf

+This is because a linear approximation of SpO2 from 100 to about 80 is sufficient for practical purposes.
+A SpO2 below 80 is a difficult value for survival.
