Abstract: A sphygmomanometer includes a cuff and a main body. The main body is equipped with a substrate, a pump and a pressure sensor that are attached to one surface of the substrate, and a plate-shaped member opposed to an other surface of the substrate on an opposite side of the one surface of the substrate. The substrate includes a first through-hole and a second through-hole. The other surface of the substrate and an opposing surface of the plate-shaped member opposed to the other surface constitute the planar direction passage extending in a planar direction along the other surface of the substrate. The planar direction passage communicates with a fluid bag of the cuff. The sphygmomanometer further includes a pressurization controller and a blood pressure calculator. The pressurization controller controls pressing the measured site through the planar direction passage. The blood pressure calculator calculates a blood pressure.

Abstract: A communication system includes communication terminals (2) and a server (1). The server (1) transmits first item data pertaining to a first item to the communication terminals (2) in response to an item acquisition request from any of the communication terminals (2). The server (1) tallies a reception count of the number of times the item acquisition request is received, and when the reception count reaches a predetermined value, transmits second item data pertaining to a second item to the communication terminal (2) that transmitted the item acquisition request for which the reception count reached the predetermined value.

Abstract: An electronic component substrate (1-1) includes an insulating base (10) and a flexible circuit board (20) mounted on the insulating base (10). The flexible circuit board (20) is a synthetic resin film provided thereon with terminal patterns (29) and a conductor pattern (25) whose surface is slidingly contacted with a slider. The insulating base (10) is a synthetic resin molded piece. The flexible circuit board (20) is insert-molded to the insulating base (10). The electronic component substrate (1-1) is produced by preparing the flexible circuit board (20) and first and second mold members (41, 45) having a cavity (C1) with a shape that corresponds to the external shape of the electronic component substrate (1-1). Then, the flexible circuit board (20) is accommodated in the cavity (C1) between the first and second mold members (41,45), and the cavity (C1) is filled with a molten molding resin. After the molding resin has solidified, the first and second mold members (41, 45) are removed.
