The Need and the Statement of the Problem

People want IPAD to do multiple tasks.

Weighing an object is a common thing to do.

There is a demand for IPAD weight scale.

Weighing by using the position change of the slider.

Definition of the Need Statement of the Problem

The Objectives & The Scopes

Low cost Accurate Precise Compact size Ease of

installation Esthetic look

Jewel bearing Registering a

touch Harmless to IPAD Using the screen

as much as possible.

Objectives Scopes

Literature Survey

Parallelogram Linkage

Consists of two identical cranks fixed with a distance between.

Four straight sides. Opposing sides,

parallel and same length.


6

Literature Survey

Slider-Crank Mechanism

Converts rotational motion in to translational motion.

Consists of a rotating driving beam, a connection rod and a sliding body.


7

Literature Survey

Capacitive Touchscreen

IPAD 2 has a capacitive touchscreen.

In capacitive touchscreens, there is an insulator such as glass coated with indium tin oxide as conductor.

Touching, distortion in the electrostatic field, determining where the body is touching.
