Abstract: A headrest stay includes a detachment prevention slot portion formed in a rod-shaped leg portion, the detachment prevention slot portion being recessed toward a center side of the leg portion, the lock portion being configured to enter into the detachment prevention slot portion, and the detachment prevention slot portion including: a first flat face portion that faces a lower side; and a second flat face portion that faces an upper side, the second flat face portion including: an opposing portion that opposes the first flat face portion; and a region that, in a vertical sectional diagram cut along the axial direction of the leg portion, is disposed at an outer peripheral side of the leg portion relative to the first flat face portion.

Abstract: A sensor unit is brought into contact with a surface of a living body to detect a pulse wave of an artery directly below. A CPU extracts a characteristic point of the pulse wave detected and obtains a second systolic component in the pulse wave using the characteristic point extracted. Then, a variation with time in a systolic blood pressure of a central artery of the living body is estimated using the second systolic component obtained, and an estimated variation with time in the systolic blood pressure is displayed on a display portion. For estimation of the systolic blood pressure, arithmetic with a linear transformation is applied using the second systolic component obtained and a blood pressure of a peripheral artery which is measured beforehand with an electronic sphygmomanometer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a fuel pump for an inter-cylinder direct fuel injection apparatus, in which occurrence of corrosion and attrition caused by cavitation or erosion can be suppressed, their resistance against the environment can be improved, and an excellent lifetime can be achieved in the case of the use of an aluminum material even if the temperature reaches as high as 100° C. or higher and the pressure reaches as high as 7 to 12 MPa. In the fuel pump for an inter-cylinder direct fuel injection apparatus, made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, a coating film plated with Ni—P or a Ni—P based material is formed by electroless plating.
