Abstract: An automatic external defibrillator includes an AED body having a pair of defibrillation pads applied to a chest of a rescuee to apply an electric shock to the rescuee; and a pulse wave sensor unit connected to the AED body to detect a pulse wave in a head of the rescuee.

Abstract: The invention relates to method and apparatus for measuring a diameter of a single crystal wherein growth portions including a shoulder portion and the following can be accurately measured with respect to their diameter. The method for the measurement includes the steps of causing an oscillation center of a single crystal being grown according to the Czochralski method while oscillating and a scanning line of a one-dimensional CCD camera to coincide with each other, and deciding a diameter of the single crystal from all the images measured with the one-dimensional CCD camera over a measuring time which is longer than an oscillation cycle of the single crystal.
