Abstract: A haircut work station provides a customer chair and a complementary operator seat which is movable in a generally circular arc about the customer chair. The operator seat is supported by a support member upon a swinging arm extending radially outward from a below-floor center post. The operator seat support member penetrates the floor through a narrow, semi-circular travel arc slot about the customer chair. The operator seat may move in and out relative to the customer chair, and may rotate about its own vertical axis. A lift assembly enables vertical movement of the operator seat relative to the floor and customer chair, A frame may be used to connect the center post, lift assembly, and floor. A vacuum line may extend through the customer chair support member to a remote vacuum system.

Abstract: A medical monitoring device monitors the pulse and respiration rate of an infant, and transmits an alarm signal to a remote receiver when pulse and/or respiration rate irregularities are detected. The device incorporates an acoustic sensor (microphone) and pressure sensor adjacent a small gas or liquid-filled bag or bladder member. The bladder member and attached sensors are contained in a compact monitor housing which is positioned against the monitored infant's body, so that the bladder member directly contacts the body, and is preferably held in place by a small belt wrapped around the infant.
