    Abstract: A system is for determining fat and lean body tissue components of body tissue. A propagating wave is provided into the body tissue. A first set of normally directed reflections of the propagating wave is received at a first measurement site and a second set of angled reflections of the propagating wave is received from the body tissue at a second measurement site. A fat body tissue depth and optionally also a lean body tissue depth are obtained based on the times at which reflections of the first and second sets are received. This arrangement requires only two receivers in order to resolve the depth of the fat and lean body tissue constituents. The propagation paths are simplified by arranging the transceiver to direct a wave normally into the tissue.

    Abstract: A system for monitoring the fetal size of an expectant mother comprises an acoustic sensor for positioning over the belly of the expectant mother, the acoustic sensor configured to receive an acoustic signal generated by the fetal heartbeat and to generate a sensor output signal. A fetal size is determined from a sensor output signal strength. This system is based on the realization that certain acoustic signals generated by the fetal heart beat are strongly correlated with the fetus size.
