Electrical transducer circuit

Claim 1

A TRANSDUCER SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL OUTPUT SIGNALS CORRESPONDING TO THE INTERRELATIONS OF A PLURALITY OF MECHANICAL INPUT SIGNALS, COMPRISING: A FIRST SOURCE OF FIXED ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL; A PLURALITY OF POTENTIOMETER MEANS, EACH POTENTIOMETER MEANS INCLUDING A RESISTANCE AND MOVABLE TAP THEREFORE, EACH RESISTANCE COUPLED TO SAID FIRST SOURCE OF ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL; A PLURALITY OF MECHANICAL SIGNAL SOURCES, EACH RESPECTIVELY COUPLED TO ONLY ONE OF SAID PHOTENTIOMETER MEANS MOVABLE TAPS FOR MOVING SAID RESPECTIVE TAP RELATIVE TO ITS ASSOCIATED RESISTANCE IN RESPONSE TO THE RESPECTIVE MECHANICAL SIGNAL; A PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL OPUTPUT LINES, EACH RESPECTIVELY COUPLED TO ONE OF SAID POTENTIOMETER MEANS MOVABLE TAPS; A REFERENCE SOURCE OF FIXED ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL; MEANS FOR SELECTIVELY COUPLING ONE OF SAID POTENTIOMETER MEANS MOVABLE TAPS TO SAID REFERENCE POTENTIAL SOURCE, WHEREBY THE POTENTIAL AT SAID OUTPUT LINE OF SAID SELECTED POTENTIOMETER MEANS MOVABLE TAP IS EQUAL TO THE REFERENCE POTENTIAL, AND THE POTENTIAL AT ANY OTHER OF SAID OUTPUT LINES WITH RESPECT TO SAID REFERENCE POTENTIAL SOURCE IS RESPONSIVE TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MECHANICAL SIGNAL APPLIED TO SAID MOVABLE TAP TO WHICH THAT OUTPUT LINE IS COUPLED AND THE MECHANICAL SIGNAL APPLIED TO SAID MOVABLE TAP TO WHICH SAID REFERENCE POTENTIAL SOURCE IS COUPLED.
