Abstract: A transmitting terminal can transmit a content held by itself to a specific receiving terminal having no email software as if using a mailer. The transmitting terminal (10) and the receiving terminal (20) are connected to a delivery server (30) via a network (4). The delivery server (30) comprises: a database (36) for registering the device ID that specifies the receiving terminal (20); a content storage (39) for temporarily storing a content transmitted from the transmitting terminal (10); and table (33, 37) for managing contents separately on a per device ID basis of the receiving terminal. The delivery server (30), when receiving a request from the receiving terminal (20), refers to the tables (33, 27) and transmits to the receiving terminal (20) a content, the transmission destination of which corresponds to the device ID of the receiving terminal (20).

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for measuring body fat of an animal. Embodiments include an input unit for entering individual information of the animal, a bioelectric impedance input unit for measuring the bioelectric impedance of the animal, and a morphological measurement value input unit for entering morphological measurement values for the girth and length of the body of the animal. An impedance-based calculation unit calculates a body fat rate based on the bioelectric impedance, and a morphological measurement value-based calculation unit calculates the body fat rate based on the morphological measurement values. A calculation switching unit checks to determine whether the resulting bioelectric impedance is proper, and automatically switches between the impedance-based calculation unit and the morphological measurement value-based calculation unit depending on the result of the determination.

Abstract: The impedance of intracellular water (ZICW), height (H), weight (W), and age (A) of the subject are included as variables in an equation that estimates muscle mass (MM). Impedance of extracellular water (ZECW) is determined by a step of applying an alternating current to the body and measuring the resulting impedance. Impedance of total body water (ZTBW) is determined by a step of applying a high frequency alternating current to the body and measuring the resulting impedance. ZICW is determined by calculating an inverse of the result of subtracting an inverse of measured ZECW from an inverse of measured ZTBW. The equation for muscle mass is of the form: MM?aH2/ZICW+bW+cA+d.

Abstract: A body fat mass and a fat free mass are calculated by BIA, and a muscle volume is calculated by subtracting bone mineral calcium from the fat free mass. The calculated muscle volume is normalized by a value using the body height of a subject, and a muscle volume per body part is calculated. The level of the muscle volume is determined by comparing the muscle volume per body part with the reference value.
