Abstract: A monitoring device (10) for monitoring vital signs includes a housing (12). Signal input components (21) are positioned in the housing to receive an electrical signal carrying data representing at least one vital sign of a subject. Wireless communications circuitry (18) is mounted in the housing (12) and is connected to the input components (21) for transmitting and receiving wireless signals.

Abstract: A trunnion system for a table saw assembly. In an exemplary embodiment, the trunnion system includes a first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket for mounting the trunnion system to a frame of the table saw assembly. Further, a first trunnion and a second trunnion for allowing a saw blade disposed within the table saw assembly to rotate to different bevel angles is included. The first trunnion being operationally coupled to the first mounting bracket and the second trunnion being operationally coupled to the second mounting bracket. The mounting of the first and second mounting brackets to the frame of the table saw assembly allows the trunnion system to rest upon the frame of the table saw assembly.

Abstract: A mobile base assembly for receiving an object includes a generally planar base member, a plurality of base supports and at least one wheel member connected with each base support included in the plurality of base supports for transporting the mobile base assembly. Each base support of the plurality of base supports includes a receiver member defining a single slot for receiving at least a portion of the base member. The dimensions of the base member are approximate to footprint dimensions of an object being supported by the mobile base assembly.

Abstract: A binding machine is described for use in uncoiling the fingers of a binding comb (50), preparatory to an insertion of the fingers (54) of the comb into the apertures (48) provided in a packet or stack of sheets (46) to be bound together. The machine comprises a housing (6) supported for rectilinear reciprocal movement a drive plate (8), said drive plate being provided adjacent opposite side edges with a series of aperture (10), affording a rack, engageable by respective pinions (12) of the machine. The housing (6) is provided with a plurality of fixed abutment elements (28), a clamping member (16) being mounted on the housing for movement between a retracted position and an advanced position, in which advanced position clamping elements (18) of the clamping member are disposed closely adjacent to fixed abutment elements (28), to clamp the spine (52) of a binding comb therebetween.

Abstract: A bath lift, for raising and lowering an invalid or disabled user out of and into a bath tub, comprises a seat member which is suspended at each side on flexible supporting tapes. The seat member is supported by the tapes through hinged side plates which extend downwardly from the seat member when the latter is in a raised position but which are collapsed below the seat member when the latter is in the fully-lowered position. Thus the seat member when fully lowered is close to the bottom of the bath tub whereas, when fully raised, it is suspended on the tapes above the level of the rim of the bath tub.
