 adopted, an accurate detection of a weight of the passenger is needed. As for one such means, a known device is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No.2001-12998. The known device applies a means for attaching a weight sensor (ie., an attachment structure of a load sensor) to a seat mounted in a vehicle (ie., a vehicle seat).
Normally, as for a weight sensor to detect a weight of the passenger who sits on a seat cushion of the vehicle seat, a sensor with a strain gauge disposed in a plate-shaped strain unit is used for detecting a vertical strain of the strain unit. Therefore, in order to detect the weight of the passenger on the seat accurately, a precise input of the weight from the seating portion to a strain portion of the strain unit is needed. Thus, an attachment structure of a load sensor for a vehicle seat is particularly important.
However, in the known device, such importance of the attachment structure of the load sensor to the vehicle has not been recognized, and is designed merely not to exceed a height of the seating portion in a normal sitting condition when the weight sensor is attached. Many types of input devices are presently available for performing operations in a computing system, such as buttons or keys, mice, trackballs, joysticks, touch sensor panels, touch screens and the like. Touch sensitive devices, such as touch screens, in particular, are becoming increasingly popular because of their ease and versatility of operation as well as their declining price. A touch sensitive device can include a touch sensor panel, which can be a clear panel with a touch-sensitive surface, and a display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) that can be positioned partially or fully behind the panel so that the touch-sensitive surface can cover at least a portion of the viewable area of the display device. The touch sensitive device can allow a user to perform various functions by touching the touch sensor panel using a finger, stylus or other object at a location dictated by a user interface (UI) being displayed by the display device. In general, the touch sensitive device can recognize a touch event and the position of the touch event on the touch sensor panel, and the computing system can then interpret the touch event in accordance with the display appearing at the time of the touch event, and thereafter can perform one or more actions based on the touch event.
To achieve a certain ease and versatility of operation, touch sensitive devices can have significant power requirements, which can be due to the components required
adopted, an accurate detection of a weight of the passenger is needed. As for one such mean, a known device is unwrap in Japanese Patent Laid - Open Publication No.2001 - 12998. The known device applies a means for attach a weight unit sensor (ie. , an attachment structure of a warhead detector) to a seat mounted in a vehicle (ie. , a vehicle seat). 
 Normally, as for a weight unit sensor to detect a weight of the passenger who sit down on a seat cushion of the vehicle seat, a sensor with a strain bore disposed in a plate - shaped tune unit is used for detect a vertical striving of the strain whole. Therefore, in order to detect the weight of the passenger on the buttocks accurately, a precise input of the weight from the seating portion to a strain helping of the strain unit is needed. Thus, an attachment structure of a load sensor for a vehicle seat is particularly significant. 
 However, in the known device, such importance of the attachment structure of the warhead detector to the fomite has not been recognized, and is designed merely not to exceed a height of the seating portion in a normal sitting condition when the weight detector is attached. Many types of input devices are presently available for performing operations in a computing system, such as buttons or keys, mice, trackball, joysticks, contact sensor panels, touch screens and the like. Touch sensible devices, such as touch screens, in particular, are becoming increasingly popular because of their ease and versatility of operation as well as their decline price. A contact sensitive device can include a touch sensor panel, which can be a clean panel with a contact - sensitive surface, and a display device such as a fluid crystal display (LCD) that can be positioned partially or in full behind the panel so that the contact - sensitive surface can cover at least a part of the viewable area of the display device. The touch sensitive device can allow a user to do various functions by touch the touch sensor panel using a finger, stylus or other object at a location dictate by a user interface (UI) being displayed by the display device. In general, the touch sensitive device can recognize a touch consequence and the position of the touch event on the touch sensor panel, and the computing system can then rede the touch event in accordance with the display appear at the time of the touch event, and thereafter can perform one or more actions establish on the touch event.
