The spherical joint constrains motion of the platform to the spherical surface. The system may include a sensor corresponding to each linkage. Each sensor may be coupled to sense a movement of its corresponding linkage in response to motion of the platform over the portion of the spherical surface. A user-manipulable handle may be coupled to the platform so that the user can move the platform. | 04-16-2009 |
20090107280 | FINGER OPERATED THROTTLE - A finger throttle for motorized vehicles having thumb throttles with thumb operated levers.
