    Abstract: The present invention creates a virtual sensor plane by arraying two one-dimensional light sensors at right angles to one another wherein the shaft of a joystick extends perpendicularly through the virtual sensor plane. With this configuration, the sensor plane can detect traditional joystick rotation around a point along its axis as well as a herein-disclosed true rotation of the joystick around the joystick axis itself. Between the light sources and lenses which enable light detection and the optical, rather than mechanical or electromechanical, nature of the light sensors, wear surfaces in the joystick are minimized or eliminated everywhere except, where applicable, in the universal joint at the base of joystick configurations which include such a universal joint.

    Abstract translation: 本发明通过将彼此成直角的两个一维光传感器排列成一个虚拟传感器平面,其中操纵杆的轴垂直延伸穿过虚拟传感器平面。 利用该配置,传感器平面可以围绕其轴线的点检测传统的操纵杆旋转,以及操纵杆围绕操纵杆轴线本身的本文公开的真实旋转。 在能够进行光检测的光源和透镜之间以及光传感器的光学而不是机械或机电性质的情况下,操纵杆的磨损表面被最小化或消除,除非适用于操纵杆底座的万向接头 包括这种万向接头的结构。
