A length measuring apparatus for measuring length of a measuring object, includes a scale part provided to the measuring object, the scale part having two-dimensional codes with different patterns provided alongside at least in a longitudinal direction; a reading unit configured to read the two-dimensional codes; an obtaining unit configured to obtain coordinate information based on the two-dimensional code; and a conversion unit configured to convert the obtained coordinate information to length information based on a previously generated correspondence between the coordinate information and length information of the measuring object.

A biometric measurement apparatus has a measurement unit for measuring bioelectric impedance of different parts of a body and hematocrit. The measurement unit has impedance calculators (IPG, IPG) for measuring the impedance of tissues and blood of a living body with a first frequency to output as a first impedance (Z), and for measuring the impedance of the tissues and blood of the living body with a second frequency to output as a second impedance (Z), and has pulse wave analyzing units (MSand MS) for analyzing differences of the first impedance between a first time and a second time and difference (&#x394;Z) of the second impedance between the first time and the second time, and a hematocrit calculator () for calculating hematocrit based on the difference (&#x394;Z) of the first impedance and the difference (&#x394;Z) of the second impedance.
