Relevant Background on cam lock: "Knock-down fasteners are a hardware device made for the purpose of constructing butt joints that can be assembled and re-assembled repeatedly (hence knock-down).

They are also very common in modern modular kitchens....Knock-down fasteners usually consist of cam dowels locked by cam locks, also known as conformat fasteners, installed in adjacent members. The members are brought together and the joint is secured by turning the cam-lock..." ("Butt Joint" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butt_joint#Knock-down_fasteners)

Relevant Material on Cam Locks: “messed up trying to assemble an IKEA bed. I accidentally pushed the cam lock with the smooth side facing out. Now I have no way to rotate it to tighten the cam lock and bolt to secure the two pieces of wood. How do I remove it? I have attached some images.... Sometimes you can knock them out by striking the wood furniture next to the hole, either with your hand or with a hammer. If using a hammer, put a small piece of wood (like, a chunk of 2x4) against your furniture, then strike this wood. That way it won't mess up the finish on your furniture.Just a few taps. Don't hit it so hard that you break your other connections! :)...” (“Remove cam lock pushed the wrong way into Ikea furniture”, https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/139305/remove-cam-lock-pushed-the-wrong-way-into-ikea-furniture)

Blood Pressure Monitor

Image
**** Relevant Background: “ Arterial blood pressure  is most commonly measured via a  sphygmomanometer , which historically used the height of a column of mercury to reflect the circulating pressure. [1] Blood pressure values are generally reported in  millimetres of mercury  (mmHg), though  aneroid  and electronic devices do not contain  mercury .… For each heartbeat, blood pressure varies between   systolic   and   diastolic   pressures. Systolic pressure is peak pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the end of the   cardiac cycle   when the   ventricles   are contracting. Diastolic pressure is minimum pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the beginning of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles are filled with blood. An example of normal measured values for a resting, healthy adult human is 120 mmHg   systolic   and 80 mmHg   diastolic   (written as 120/80 mmHg, and...
