Abstract: An apparatus for launching sheets such as paper money. The apparatus includes an upper housing and a lower housing detachably coupled to the upper housing. The apparatus includes a feed assembly, mounted to an interior space of the lower housing, and the feed assembly includes a plate with a planar upper surface for receiving the sheets and at least one spring element applying a spring force upon the plate to urge the planar upper surface toward the upper housing. The apparatus also includes an ejection assembly, supported within an interior space of the upper housing, adapted to sequentially eject the sheets from an opening in the upper housing or the lower housing. The ejection assembly includes an electric motor and a battery selectively powering the electric motor. Spaced apart wheels are provided on an axle driven by the motor to eject the sheets a distance of one to three feet.

Abstract: A transportable vital signs monitor accommodates patients over a broad range of body sizes. The monitor has various universal vital signs sensor units attached to it, such as sensor units for blood oxygen saturation, temperature, and non-invasive blood pressure. The monitor has a graphical display and may have alphanumeric displays. The graphical display is for visually displaying various waveforms and other information of use to the caregiver such as an SpO2 waveform and a blood pressure waveform trend display. The graphical display may also display alphanumeric information. The transportable vital signs monitor may also include communications capability for transferring the vital signs, and in particular may include a short range capability such as Bluetooth for peer-to-peer communication of vital signs.
