  • Publication number: 20160363476
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing electronic weight measurement using a handheld apparatus (e.g., fishing net or other handheld apparatus, etc.). In some embodiments, the handheld apparatus might measure a raw signal weight of an item (e.g., fish or other suitable item), and might measure at least one of angle of tilt or angle of rotation of the item with respect to the handheld apparatus, and, in some cases, might also measure at least one of angle of tilt or angle of rotation of the item with reference to gravitational direction of the Earth. The handheld apparatus might calculate a processed signal weight of the item based at least in part on the measured angle of tilt and/or rotation of the item with respect to the at least one of the weight measurement sensor or the handle, and might display the processed signal weight of the item.
