Abstract: A sphygmomanometer according to the present disclosure includes a main body that is mounted with a pump and is to be disposed on a dorsal surface of a wrist and a cuff that is to be attached around the wrist. The cuff extends along a circumferential direction of the wrist from an ulnar side end portion of the main body to a palmar surface and is set to a length covering an ulnar artery or a length covering a radial artery beyond the ulnar artery of a wrist having a preset maximum wrist circumference. A fluid is supplied from the pump to the cuff to press the wrist. A blood pressure is calculated based on a pressure of the fluid contained in the cuff.

Abstract: A multiple-image display body includes a spacer layer, a line tone barrier layer stacked on the first surface of the spacer layer, and a multiple-image formation layer stacked on the second surface of the spacer layer. The line tone barrier layer includes first regions, which transmit electromagnetic waves, and second regions, which absorb electromagnetic waves. The multiple-image formation layer includes images that are visible when observed from specific angles over the first regions of the line tone barrier. The image is formed by a contrast resulting from an area ratio of the third region, which scatters electromagnetic waves, and the fourth region, which absorbs electromagnetic waves.

Abstract: An optical element includes a transmission diffraction portion, which reflective portions and transmissive portions. The reflective portions are arranged at equal intervals along a given axis. Each reflective portion reflects light included in the visible light. The light reflected by the reflective portions forms a reflection image. The transmissive portions transmit the visible light. Each transmissive portion is sandwiched by two corresponding reflective portions that are adjacent to each other along the given axis. At least part of each reflective portion forms the reflection image by rendering a reflection angle of the light reflected by the reflective portions different from an angle of light incident on the reflective portions. The transmission diffraction portion forms diffracted images having different colors with diffracted light that is produced by diffracting light transmitted through the transmissive portions in a predetermined direction.
